That'd be kind of difficult, given that one of the tools some of her detractors have used is intelligent thought.

Incidentally, there's nothing too unusual about hagiographical films being made about presidents and/or presidential films, though I can't recall the last time one was explicitly commissioned by the hopeful in question.

Certainly Obama didn't *have* to commission a film, because he was already surrounded by so many worshippers (such as Edward Norton, who had a film crew following Obama all through his campaign).

But George W. Bush had at least one cringe-inducing film that sang his praises, too, leading up to his re-election in 2004.  I quasi-reviewed it here:
