Wonderful portrayal of human nature

Just look at the title of Election and think that this is another pure campus youth comedy, but the movie is more complicated than this. The storyline is not too much spoiler here.
The most joyful part of the film is that after the teacher Jim slept with the divorced woman, he drove his old and dirty blue second-hand Volkswagen to work vigorously. In his imagination, he was driving a limousine on the road, dressed in exquisite clothes, and all the women from the past paid attention to him. This passage is really a wonderful description of human nature.

    How to treat those who have achieved? How to classify? Everyone's choice determines the future. It seems that there is no absolute right or wrong in the world.

    Today you see him disgusting, tomorrow he sees you throw up on the spot. The satire based on narrative is the real satire, and it can be seen that the five bodies are smooth.

Election quotes

  • Tracy Flick: [narrating] When I think back on my relationship with Mr. Novotny, what I miss most is our talks.

  • Jim McAllister: [narrating] You might ask if I ever saw Tracy Flick again. Well, I did, just once. I was down in Washington for a museum educators conference, and I stayed an extra day to do some sightseeing. After an inspiring morning on the Mall, I was on my way to the Holocaust Museum, when...

    [across the street he spots Tracy chatting with a congressman, who she seems to be working for. As she gets into a stretch limousine with him, it freeze-frames on her with a smug expression on her face]

    Jim McAllister: I'll never know if she saw me. Probably not. But in that moment, all the bad memories, all the things I'd ever wanted to say to her, it all came flooding back. My first impulse was to run over there, pound on her window and demand that she admit she tore down those posters, and lied and cheated her way into winning that election. But instead, I just stood there. And I suddenly realised I wasn't angry at her anymore, I just felt sorry for her. I mean, when I think about my new life and all the exciting things I'm doing, and then I think about what her life must be like... Probably still getting up at 5 in the morning to pursue her pathetic little dreams. It just makes me sad. I mean, where is she really trying to get to anyway? And what is she doing in that limo? Who the fuck does she think she is?

    [he throws his drink at the limo, it splatters on the rear window. The limo screeches to a halt and a man gets out and shouts at him as he runs away]
