“I never understood the idea that you’re supposed to mellow as you get older. Slowing down isn’t something I relate to at all. — I’ve done all kinds of things I said I wouldn’t do and, of course, now I’m glad. Thrilled.”

Robert Redford set out, 53 years ago, to alert America to the disruption of elections by big money, self-dealing interest groups, media-driven campaigns and contenders who sacrificed values for style. With “The Candidate,” he anticipated almost everything that has corrupted contemporary politics.
Robert Redford Sounded the Alarm About Our Corrupted Politics Over 50 Years Ago
The late legend's 1972 classic The Candidate was an urgent warning about how money-driven, TV-obsessed campaigns would devastate democracy.
