Knife Fight with Battle Hymn of the Republic

To get elected in office, according to 'Knife Fight', all which is found outside the conventional playbook of politics should be given opportunity, for the good candidate to become governor elected. Even if there's collateral damage attached to the level of having a college girl's life ruined, upto attempted suicides. The far-out morals choices reported today in Washup DC Politics have apparently spread out to Nation, State and County Politics Campaign affairs, where the subversion apparently has sunken back to the level of Roman Empire days, when Julius was stabbed by Brutus. The mantra of fighting crime by hiring even more dangerous criminals is something which has today infected all kinds of aspects of life, where by all means good, bad, legal and or violating state laws, will give the good Lady or Lord the much aspired seat if High Office. This is the theme which is extensively illustrated inside 'Knife Fight' where the end result seems OK. There is one downer though. When the end titles run a small parody of the Battle Hymn of the Republic is played. This is sadly one step beyond the much admired seat in the office of Hollywood fame.

Could you withstand the scrutiny

Some years ago I had a ood Assemblymember representing me in Albany. At least he epresented my point of view aboit 95% of the time. He got caught up in a sex scandal and managed to survive it for two more election cycles.Watching Knife Fight I thought of him immdiately and it occured to me we lose a lot of good people who get caught up in these things. A lot of good people also never go into public service because they don't want their lives under a microscope. How many of us could withstand the scrutiny?Rob Lowe and Richard Schiff veterans of West Wing star n tis political drama about a pair of political operators. Lowe has some idealim, but does what he has to for his candidates. Schiff prefers the low road in any event.The film is scene through the eyes of their new employee Jamie Chung and by the end of the film she has learned her lessons well.Their three candidates rnning for statewde office Lowe's firm is managing and all have crises of a sort. Eric McCormack the governor of Kentucky who is a Bill Clinton like figure whose libido may get the best of him. David Harbour a Senator from Massachusetts who made one indiscretion that could cost hi his career. Finally my favorite from nife Fight, Carrie Anne Moss an idealistic doctor who runs a medical clinic who wants to be governor of California and for all the right reasons.Moss is my favorite from the film, but it is a well cast and directed piece ofwork. And one of te most realisti political films out there.
