Featured review
Ahead of its time
It's the first time I watch a Robin Williams movie since his passing, as it is a lot sentimental to me. Having seen it in the movies back when it was released, I just rewatched "Man Of the Year" on cable TV, only to realize that a discussion on democracy is never outdated. Although I think that it scratches only the surface of the issues expounded (for example technology is one thing, but vote suppression is another that could also be put, while corruption is finally beaten only due to the zealous and wit of sacrifice of one man), it does, however, transpire the true meaning of participation and the criteria one should take into account before casting their vote. As for Robin Williams, remains a masterpiece himself. O captain, my captain... for life
