Please Vote For Me

Please Vote For Me was a documentary style movie about 3 Chinese children who are chosen to run in the first democratic running for Class Monitor. Living in a communist country, none of the kids understand this. Since parents may only have 1 child, these kids are very spoiled with attention and the parents do everything possible to help the students win the race for Class Monitor. A few times the children decide to play dirty and make fun of the fellow students in order to make them drop out. Lots of hard ships for the children and they always over came them. Luo Lei's parents were both police officers so he grew up in an environment of strictness and some sort of dictatorship. That's how he treated his fellow students that were running. In the end, Luo Lei won after he bribed all the voters with gifts after his speech. The other two competitors congratulated him and cried. They had all grown up in a sort of dictatorship environment and at the very end, during the credits, Luo Lei was bossing everyone around.

"Please Vote for Me is a 2007 documentary film following the elections for class monitor in a 3rd grade class of eight year old children in the Evergreen Primary School in Wuhan, China. This was reported to be the first election of its type for a class monitor held in a school in China, as well as an interesting use of classic democratic voting principles and interpersonal dymanics."
