Movies With African American Presidents
After 232 years of independence and 43 presidents, the United States of America has elected its first African American president.
In the past, there have been quite a number of movies with African American presidents.
The first fictional African American president was Rufus Jones played by Sammy Davis Jr., in Rufus Jones for President. It is a 1933 short musical-comedy written by A. Dorian Otvos (Merry Go Round of 1938 (1937), Goodbye Broadway (1938)) and Cyrus Wood (All Girl Revue (1940), Alice in Wonderland (1940)) directed by Roy Mack (Hillbilly Blitzkrieg (1942), Headline Bands (1946)) where an African American child is elected president of the USA. Since the movie is at least 75 years old, it wouldn't be surprising if many people haven't heard about it.
The second one, 39 years later, is Douglas Dilman played by James Earl Jones in The Man – Not to confuse with the 2005 movie with the same title staring Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy. It is a 1972 political drama based on a novel with the same title, written by Irving Wallace (The Second Lady (1980), The Celestial Bed (1987). The screenplay was written by Rod Serling (Assault on a Queen (1966), Planet Of The Apes (1968)) and directed by Joseph Sargent (Sybil (2007), Sweet Nothing in My Ear (2008)). Douglas Dilman becomes the first African American president after the president and the speaker of the house are killed.
The third one is Lindberg played by wrestler/actor Tom Lister, Jr. in the science fiction-fantasy movie The Fifth Element (1997) starring Bruce Willis, Gary Oldman, Ian Holm Mila Jovovich and Chris Tucker. This movie wasn't about his presidential campaign or career, but about saving the world with the help of four stones and the fifth element.
The fourth one is Tom Beck played by Morgan Freeman in the science fiction-drama movie Deep Impact (1998); also staring Robert Duvall, Téa Leoni, Elijah Wood and Vanessa Redgrave. Just like The Fifth Element, the movie wasn't about his presidential campaign or career, but saving the world this time from a comet. It didn't do as well as expected in the box office, but a movie with a similar storyline – Armageddon - was released two months later performed much better.
The fifth one is Mays Gilliam played by Chris Rock in Head of State (2003). It was written, produced and directed by Chris Rock; which kind of explains some of the mistakes. This movie is about May Gilliam's presidential campaign and how he got elected as the first African American of the United States of America. North America. If you pay attention at the end, when it's announced that he has won the election, you'll see that a guy who looks a lot like him gets shot. President Obama made his victory speech behind a bullet proof glass. Makes you wonder. May's running mate was his brother Mitch, played by Bernie Mac (God rest his soul), which makes Mitch Gilliam the first African American Vice President.
The sixth one is Alonzo Camacho played by Terry Crews in Idiocracy (2006). A soldier named Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson) and a prostitute called Rita (Maya Rudolph) take part in a military project which involves getting hibernated for a year. But because the project was canceled, they were forgotten and ended up being awaken 500 years in the future in a world where everybody is stupid. The President is Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion. This might be the least popular movie since it wasn't promoted properly and no official trailers were released. But it did receive good reviews from viewers. I think it's worth checking.
The seventh one is one of the most popular and favorite fictional president. I'm talking about President David Palmer played by Dennis Haysbert in the series 24.
The eight is President Wayne Palmer, brother of David Palmer, played by DB Woodside in the series 24. We didn't really get to know Wayne as president because of his "accident" in the sixth season.
There you go, fictional African American presidents on screen. I think that now everybody might be on the look out for a female president. So far, we've had Mackenzie Allen played by Geena Davis in Commander in Chief, Caroline Reynolds played by Patricia Wettig in Prison Break, Laura Roslin played by Mary McDonnell in Battlestar Galactica. In 24 Season 7, the president is said to be a woman.
I wonder how a pregnant female president would be like; maybe walking around with nannies, strollers and dirty nappies. Now that would be funny!
