Contender

A detailed Summary of Contender


In The Contender, Jeff Bridges plays the character of Jackson Evans, the President of the United States. Using James Barber's The Presidential Character, I would classify the character of President Jackson Evans as active/negative and perhaps active/positive.

In the beginning of the movie, he uses flattery to deceive the character of Senator Jack Hathaway. Throughout the movie, he refers to the nomination of Senator Laine Hanson as the "swan song" of his administration. From this, you would think he was using Senator Hanson as a tool, a way for his administration to go down in the history book
