From to conservative to liberal movies
What are some movies, where a person changes their political views from conservative to liberal, and it takes up most of the plot?
The only one I can think of, is Born on the Fourth of July, but I'm not 100% sure Ron Kovic was totally conservative. |
Syriana
Michael Clayton Dirty Harry (kinda) from Dirty Harry to Magnum Force Into The Wild |
The Hills Have Eyes remake... oh wait.
|
Michael Clayton?
Born of the Fourth of July is the only one I can remember. Into the Wild it can be argued he was always a hippie at heart. |
^Well probably true of Chris but really I think the character of Ron (Hal Holbrook) is the one who changes from religious conservative to atheist liberal.
|
How about Jenny from FORREST GUMP?
And Taylor from PLANET OF THE APES in part 2 he blows up the earth. OMEN 2 he's in a conservative miliatary school and finds out he's the anti-christ and starts to become liberal in OMEN 3. |

Bullworth started as a liberal in the 60s, but became safe and more conservative in the 90s. Still, I'm sure some people on this board would have dubbed his 90s persona as left of Che Guevara.

Lukas Haas' character in Everyone Says I Love You
For the opposite political shift of course, there's Charles Bronson in Death Wish. :) |

12 Angry Men might fit...haven't seen it in a long time, but it seems like that happens

She dies of AIDS as a result of engaging in the drugs and sex culture of the 70's. |
