The Choice (1988) offers a rare glimpse into the political landscape of the late '80s, honing in on the contrasting figures of Bush and Dukakis. It's less about flashy production and more about the raw essence of political narrative. The pacing feels almost methodical, guiding viewers through the candidates' life stories, their beliefs, and the circumstances that shaped their paths. Garry Wills' commentary adds a layer of depth, blending analysis with personal insight. The atmospheric tension of a looming election, paired with the documentary's earnestness, draws you into a time when American politics felt more personal. It’s a fascinating study of character, not just the candidates but also the public’s perception of them.
