In the movie "Head of State", the topic of discourse is "the man who was not expected to win". Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) was just a simple person who lost his job and doesn't have any political experience but has a heroic image. The basis of the theme was clearly stated when Bill was talking to Deborah and asked her to find someone who will run against Brian Lewis who is currently vice president and is running for president. This was the theme because Bill wanted Mays to lose so that the people will pity him. So in effect, Bill will run on the next term with the same party of Mays. Unfortunately, Bill wasn't successful because Mays Gilliam was determined to win together with his advisers namely Martin and Deborah.
The movie is very funny because of Chris Rock, a comedian, but if you will view the movie with a political point of view, you will see that the story is very relevant. What made it interesting are the funny parts and comical acts of Mays and his brother Mitch. This story is very common in politics
