After watching the film Please Vote For Me, I'm both surprised and pleased with what i learned. The extremness of the childrens parents to me was very shocking. The support they provided wasn't always fair to the other students running, for example, one parent told his son to give gifts to people to get their vote, and here in America doing that isn't looked high upon. The way that the children yell at eachother hurtful names before beginning and the teacher not stopping them i also was surprised about. Thats just another example of cultural difference between a communist country and a democratic one.
The basic story line is three kids named Luo Lei, Xu Xiaofei, and Cheng Cheng, all are running for the position of class moniter. The class moniter is is responsible for controlling the class and helping the teacher with things. The past two years it has been Luo Lei and many have complained about him mistreating them. During the debates between the students, they rely on attacking eachother and stating the opponents faults.
Surprisingly, Luo Lei won again after he gave out gifts to the class. Te other two children start crying and some of the other classmates do too. I felt like the class cried a lot in this film and really took the competition to heart. Overall, i enjoyed this movie, it was something that you don't see everyday.
