多比斯（罗宾·威廉斯 Robin Williams）主持的脱口秀节目非常犀利，能旁征博引言辞刺骨地把美国总统们讽刺一番，把听众乐得心花怒放。甚至有听众建议他不如参选总统，一展身手。 多比斯的参选让他成为了草根阶层的代表，自然也获得了民众的大量支持。而且，多比斯拥有的杰出口才更是在辩论赛中占尽优势，令他在众多候选人中显得卓越不凡。大选结果让多比斯大为振奋——无背景无资历的他竟然以超过半数德票选获得总统之位。 选举期间，统计票数的程序员埃莉诺（劳拉·琳妮 Laura Linney）让多比斯暗暗动心。正是这个姑娘，在关键时刻发现统计系统出错，选举结果其实源于一个BUG……
"Man of the Year" (2006), a satirical political comedy-drama, is a film that cleverly intertwines humor with the serious undertones of American politics. Directed by Barry Levinson and produced by Universal Pictures and Morgan Creek Entertainment, the movie stars Robin Williams as Tom Dobbs, a comedic talk show host who unexpectedly runs for President of the United States and wins. The film's premise is both absurd and thought-provoking, as it delves into the vulnerabilities of the electronic voting system and the impact of media on public perception. Williams delivers a compelling performance, balancing his trademark humor with the gravity of the political landscape he navigates. The plot thickens when it is revealed that a glitch in the voting machines caused Dobbs' victory, a secret known only to a few, including the company's programmer, Eleanor Green (Laura Linney). As Dobbs grapples with the reality of his presidency and the ethical dilemma it presents, the film explores themes of integrity, responsibility, and the power of the individual to effect change. The dynamic between Dobbs and Green adds a layer of tension and intrigue, as they work together to uncover the truth and decide the fate of the nation. "Man of the Year" stands out for its sharp wit and timely critique of the political system. The film's script, penned by Levinson, is filled with clever dialogue and poignant observations about the state of democracy. While the movie is undoubtedly a comedy, it does not shy away from addressing serious issues, making it a unique blend of entertainment and social commentary. The supporting cast, including Christopher Walken and Lewis Black, adds depth and humor, enhancing the overall impact of the film. In the end, "Man of the Year" is a testament to the power of satire in cinema. It challenges viewers to question the mechanisms of power and the role of media in shaping public opinion. While the film's premise may seem far-fetched, it serves as a reminder of the fragility of democratic processes and the importance of vigilance in safeguarding them. With its engaging narrative and strong performances, "Man of the Year" remains a relevant and entertaining exploration of the American political landscape.
