I won't give it away, but the whole tone of the George Obama interview was the most revealing part of the movie for me. At the very least it should put to rest speculations about Obama's parentage. Barack and George are cut from the same cloth. Tall, lanky, intelligent, mostly soft-spoken. But despite his personal poverty and the corrupted squalor that is Kenya, George does not blame the rich or the whites or the West for his problems, quite the opposite. Very, very refreshing. And you can clearly see why BHO doesn't want to help his brother. In that category, only true believers need apply.
The movie was exceptional. Basically a video version of Desouza's books, but very, very well produced. The theater was packed and the comments I heard walking out among the mostly 50+ crowd was that it was a very scary movie. My 19 year old son, said, "Dad, I really don't like scary movies."
And contrary to the Napster, this was not a "poor Barrack" kind of movie. By making the comparison in origins between Obama and Desouza, and the ultimate contrast between their mindsets today, the viewer is allowed to draw his or her own conclusions about the roots of Obama's rage. Perhaps they could have spent more time in the technical, ideological policy weeds, making it appeal only to wonks. But in the end, this approach made it a real story about real people with an emotional connection that will resonate with people long after they walk out of the theater.
Regrettably, it may have only been preaching to the choir. As the people who need to see it probably won't.

I saw the movie at a 1:30 p.m. showing this afternoon in a San Francisco suburb.
Theater was 3/8 full. Audience consisted of mostly viewers age 50+ with a few younger people, plus whole families.
Applause at the end.
I was impressed with the poise George Obama showed in his brief interview. Was the comment you mentioned related to Genesis 4:9, and his response to BO's interpretation of it?
And to tag onto your other comment, anyone who had any doubts about BO's foreignness will have THOSE doubts put to rest after having seen this movie. The man is not American at all.
