Analysis of the movie "THE CONTENDER"

This movie mainly involves

i) The President of United States called Evans (from the Democratic Party)

ii) The Chairman of the Republican Party called Runyon

iii) The Senator of Ohio from the Democratic Party, a woman called Laine

The other roles are

i) The Governor of Virginia from Democratic Party called Hathaway

ii) A young Democratic Congressman called Werster

This movie mentions about two political parties of the USA having serious conflict in choosing the Vice-President. (The conflict seems to be a task conflict. Actually, it is a relationship conflict. Studies demonstrate that relationship conflicts are almost always dysfunctional. It appeals that the friction and interpersonal hostilities inherent in relationship conflicts increase personality clashes and decrease mutual understanding, thereby hindering the completion of organizational tasks.) Actually, the conflict is based on the relationship between Evans, the President and Runyon, the Chairman of Republican Party. The relationship between Evans and Runyon is very worse. Runyon always rejects everything proposed by Evans. It is because Evans criticized him too seriously during the previous President election. Runyon also wanted to be the President but is defeated by Evans.
