Recount
Recount, being a made for TV movie, specifically HBO, has no numbers.
Recount is the tale of the 2000 Presidential Election and the issues regarding Florida and the recount. It follows the Democratic and RTepublican Campaign parties as they both fight and try to get their candidate the state and Presidency.
I'm gonna try to do this review without going political... I'm a movie reviewer not a Political Pundit. That being said this movie swings so very far to the left. It shows the movie very firmly from the democratic point of view and displays the republicans as stubborn dirty bullies who block every attempt of the Democrats with shady methods and underhanded tactics. Conversely the Democrats come out as squeaky clean warriors for truth who simply want everything done right, no matter the turn out.
Though one must also realize that despite this obviously bias portrayal the events in the movie happened, albeit dramatized, and watching this movie really gives a feeling of just bewilderment. The ridiculousness of the situation, that there was so much chaos from this one state... It gives a scale to what was going on that the news eight years ago just couldn't grasp.
Obviously if you swing right conservative republican you most likely will despise this movie, if you're liberal lefty democrat you may point to it and call out a rally cry for injustice... Either or, this is a powerful movie, and gives a bit of humanity to the ludicrous events of the 2000 Presidential Election.
