	John McCain: The Manchurian Candidate
		Candidate McCain claims his experience as a prisoner of the communists for 5 1/2 years (three of which he spent in solitary confinement) better qualifies him to be President of the United States.

		Candidate McCain must answer whether or not he had any contact with the Soviets while he was a prisoner of the communists.

	The Manchurian Candidate (2004)
		Jonathan Demme's The Manchurian Candidate is arguably more of a retelling of William Cameron Menzies' Invaders from Mars (1953) than it is of John Frankenheimer's incomparable 1962 original.
		That element of the arrested is the tragedy that drives The Manchurian Candidate 2004: it's obvious in the sad relationship between Shaw and his mother, and clarified in the inability of anyone in Shaw's company, Marco included, to continue in their lives successful and self-satisfied.
		Nevertheless, The Manchurian Candidate is a fine document of this period in time, marking returns to relevance for Demme and Washington.

	The Manchurian Candidate
		In the original 1962 The Manchurian Candidate, returning veterans from the Korean War found themselves the victims of brainwashing that gave them false memories.
		Tied up in all of this is Manchurian Global (yeah, the "Manchurian" portion doesn't really make sense anymore), a giant corporation bent on controlling the government.
		The Manchurian Candidate moves forward in fits and spurts, sometimes pacing quickly, then sometimes going a little too slowly.

	Filmtracks: The Manchurian Candidate (David Amram/Rachel Portman)
		The Manchurian Candidate: (David Amram/Rachel Portman) John Frankenheimer's original film, based on Richard Condon's 1959 novel and adapted in George Axelrod's 1962 screenplay, remains a Hollywood classic and a historically fascinating glimpse into the imaginative fears of America in the height of cold war anti-Communism.
		That candidate, once in office, will become president after a planned assassination, and the faceless enemy that brainwashed him would activate a controlling device that would make him their drone.
		She does use her strings to waver at high ranges to represent the brainwashing aspects of the story, but the majority of the score boils and stirs in the low string ranges.

	The Manchurian Candidate (2004 film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Manchurian Candidate is a 2004 American film based on the 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon, and a reimagining of the previous 1962 film.
		While the plot still centers on a candidate brainwashed with the involvement of his mother and her own political aims, the mechanics of the story and the parties involved are quite different in cases.
		The movie has Shaw (Schreiber) himself as the vice-presidential candidate; Marco (Washington), also brainwashed but not fully aware of it, as the assassin; Eleanor Shaw (Streep), as a power-hungry and ruthless politician.

	The Manchurian Candidate
		The new Candidate is charged with a contemporary urgency, replacing communists with terrorists as our objects of national dread, and it’s the candidate himself who is brainwashed.
		As the election approaches, we descend into an ever-darkening rabbit-hole where candidates are pre-approved by the multi-national corporation, Manchurian Global, and nothing and no one is beyond the reach of those who want to swing the election.
		While taking a jaundiced view of the predatory nature of high-stakes politics, the film is surprisingly optimistic about the ability of individuals to reclaim their destiny and stand up to abusive power.

	Ross Institute - Building the Manchurian Candidate
		The Manchurian Candidate is an experimentally created multiple personality, now classified by the American Psychiatric Association (1994) as dissociative identity disorder.
		The reality of the Manchurian Candidate is compelling evidence for the reality of iatrogenic dissociative identity disorder; if the condition has been created deliberately by mind control doctors, then it can be created unwittingly by therapies which mimic the conditions and techniques of mind control.
		Experiments to create Manchurian Candidate "super spies" must be understood in their social and historical context, which is one of pervasive, systematic mind control experimentation, not by a few isolated renegade doctors, but by the leaders of psychiatry and the major medical schools.

	The Manchurian Candidate (2004) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		"The Manchurian Candidate (2004)" is a par knock-off of the 1962 classic adapted from the same novel with the usual upgrades and contemporary tweaks.
		Sporting a good cast and a somewhat cluttered screenplay, the film tells of the plight of a Desert Storm vet (Washington) whose dreams tell a story of what happened to his platoon in Kuwait quite different from the historical account of record with ramifications reaching deep into a U.S. presidential election.

	The Manchurian Candidate - Richard Condon
		The Manchurian Candidate was made into a movie in 1962, directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Laurence Harvey, Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury, and Janet Leigh
		The Manchurian Candidate is an incredibly cynical work, full of ugly Americans.
		It is this hatred, coupled with the similar threat of the very different sort of mind-control in the form of the brainwashing to which Shaw and his fellow soldiers are subjected, that make The Manchurian Candidate an enjoyably disturbing read.

	The Manchurian Candidate (1962)
		The Manchurian Candidate (1962) is director-producer John Frankenheimer's prophetically tragic, chilling, brilliant, flish (film-noirish) Cold War thriller about brain-washing, conspiracy, the dangers of international Communism, McCarthyism, assassination, and political intrigue.
		It can be categorized within many film genres - it functions as a horror film, a war film, a science fiction film, a fl comedy, a suspense-thriller, and a political melodrama (with additional segments of romance and action).
		The script for this new version, by Daniel Pyne and Dean Georgaris, substituted capitalists (an enigmatic, big-business, multi-national corporation called Manchurian Global, represented, according to Demme, by the giant 21st century companies of Halliburton, Bechtel or the Carlyle Group) as the villains.

	Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and the Manchurian Candidate - Maureen Farrell at BuzzFlash.com
		A wildly imaginative political thriller which sprang from Richard Condon’s 1959 best-selling novel, The Manchurian Candidate is the story of a brainwashed military veteran who unwittingly becomes a programmed assassin to further the political ambitions of his cold and manipulative mother.
		When you peek beneath the Manchurian Candidate’s fascinating plotline, however, you learn that it is not "just a movie," but is based upon actual cases of government-sponsored brainwashing, torture, Nazi collaboration, bizarre interrogation tactics, biological warfare and cover-ups.
		These questions aside, once you absorb the hidden history behind the Manchurian Candidate and compare that with today’s headlines, you can’t help but feel that this is one of the weirdest moments in modern history.

	John McCain: The Manchurian Candidate - POW/MIA Freedom Bracelets (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the movie, "The Manchurian Candidate," actor Lawrence Harvey portrayed the character of a former POW and war hero of the Korean War, whose brainwashing by his communist captors resulted in his enemies being able to manipulate his actions.
		To trigger him to do their bidding all they had to do was have him play solitaire with the Queen of Diamonds being the trigger that made him theirs, body and soul.
		The communist definitely had a sophisticated system of "turning" U.S. prisoners of war in Korea and, ironically, the movie, "The Manchurian Candidate," fiction that it may be, was not a misrepresentation of the creative experiments and attempts by the communists to "turn" American prisoners of war into agents.

		The dream would be updated during the Cold War era to become the Manchurian Candidate, the assassin whose mind was controlled by a hostile government.
		Among other things, he looked into several of the areas that would be building blocks in the creation of a Manchurian Candidate.
		Indeed, any second assassin virtually proves that powerful branches of U.S. Government were behind the murder itself - not only because of their stiff resistance from the get go, but because of their ongoing, coldly calculated, and otherwise inexplicable manipulation of evidence for keeping Sirhan as the single murderer.

		The Manchurian Candidate, a classic of paranoid cinema from the 1960s, gets a cunning update, rife with hot-topic references to corporate war profiteering and electronic voting machines.
		The Manchurian Candidate loses steam towards the end, but up until then director Jonathan Demme keeps the movie rolling fluidly, crafting some creepy paranoia of his own while Streep tears into everything in her path.
		Unfortunately they're all thrown away, with an epilogue that is truly absurd, while the political commentary is never embedded in the narrative but crudely pasted on in the form of news reports.

		Jonathan Demme directed this updated remake of John Frankenheimer's 1962 cult favorite The Manchurian Candidate, a pioneering examination of political conspiracy and psychological reconditioning.

		Featuring a stellar supporting cast (including Jon Voight, Miguel Ferrer, Ted Levine, and Dean Stockwell), The Manchurian Candidate credits George Axelrod's screenplay for the 1962 film as its source, as opposed to Richard Condon's 1959 novel from which Axelrod adapted his script.

		It was the story about how the Chinese brainwashed these men, what they did to them, and things like that; and while it wasn't quite as total as the brainwashing in The Manchurian Candidate it was nevertheless a very distinct type of brainwashing that they'd known.
		On another level we believed that we lived in a society that was brainwashed.
