Reflections on Dave (1993)
Released eleven years ago, "Dave" is a pleasurable treat for everyone as it is a comedy, romantic story and a political drama at the same time. It's a touching movie packed with a stellar cast and coupled with a solid moral plot. Ironically, this movie was about an impostor with a very good heart to humanity - well, an impostor capable of feelings and dreams for his countrymen.In the beginning of the film, it was saddening to see that the President of the United States was such a cynical and power hungry person, and a womanizer at that. He's someone whom you would most likely hate and I couldn't help but wonder why he was elected into office in the first place.Now, let's talk about Dave Kovic since I absolutely enjoyed watching him. He is so funny and witty that he steals every scene. Dave earns a modest living by running a small temporary employment office and occasionally picks up dollars impersonating the President doing things like riding a pig at places like local car dealerships. Then one day the Secret Service shows up in Dave's living room asking Dave to impersonate the President at a social function. The President is needed elsewhere. The elsewhere is an illicit meeting with one of his aides, and unfortunately the
By allocating the right amount of money for projects that are indeed necessary, if not practical, then there could be a head start on things. The plot of the movie thickens when what seemed to be a more temporary fill in of executive authority turned out to be a more serious look at the nation's problems. We all wish we had politicians like Dave because everyone admires a man who is upright, honest, open and down-right responsible. Most candidates are already powerful, and are simply seeking more power. It was just perfect how they thought of a way to get Dave out of the situation as fast as possible and put Bob Alexander back in. He goes from bad to good as he schemes with Bob Alexander and later decides to do otherwise. There should be more welfare programs to help them in their needs because there are a lot of Americans who are roaming the streets for they don't know where to go home to. For education, there should be more funding for new textbooks, teachers and schools. With things in the military going more complicated than ever, I'd like to lessen the problems that concern America and Iraq. I wish not to go over the budget because that would put the country into debt. In our present time, nearly everyone comes to think of themselves first. It's depressing that in modern-day politics, we cannot overlook at how things like this happen in real life. The common heartlessness of most politicians didn't come as a surprise to me but Dave's willingness to help people did. I don't like to be abusive of my power if I would become president.
