The content is great, but the camera work is crap. It's an hour and a half of continual six second screen changes, interspersed with shaky camera shots. I felt sea sick for over a day after watching it.
Good job...Who is Crystal?
by giving free houses to Crystal and her part-time pimp.
My wife and I went to see 2016 at 4pm on Labor day afternoon. The theater was packed, with many families in attendance.
If you care about the future of America, go see this movie. I already knew 99% of what was portrayed, but we went to support the film and hopefully contribute to keeping it at the box office for another month.
I respect your assessment, and your description is not far off.
But I liked the camera work myself.
The movie was OK. It didn't contain anything I didn't know; but it was eye-opening for my wife. I think D'Souza hammered the "anti-colonialism" angle too much. I would have liked to have heard more about his communist mentors. He barely mentioned Professor Derrick Bell, and could have gone into more depth about "black liberation theology" from Rev. Wright.
I think he’s talking about the skinny kid and his gf who obliterated ACORN with cheesy costumes and a 30 dollar camera they got off ebay. :-)
Very interesting. I don't want to hijack the thread; but I went Sunday and also almost got sick watching the movie.
Wasn't sure why. Maybe the camera work had something to do with it?
I thought it was just because I was so sickened seeing what fools the voters were in 2008.
Heh....Crystal is a prostitute but I left that part out. But she has a pimp so.......
Point is, anybody not financially stable enough to pay a monthly mortgage.
I haven’t seen the movie yet...thanks for the review.
When I saw the reference to “Crystal and her part-time pimp” (not that it was in the movie but the point was being made about anybody and everybody getting a housing loan), I thought it might be Crystal Mangum of Duke LaCrosse players fake-rape-charge fame.
?
She would represent a type of person that would illustrate the point.
Great job in describing the movie....my daughter also mentioned how simply amazing it is to be getting away with what he’s doing...where are the checks and balances?
So in this sense a person could surmise that some of these senarios could not possibly be true...especially here in America. Yet sadly this is exactly what is happening. I’ve been railing against obama even before he was elected..however it was an eye-opening event for my daughter.
To me, there was one point in the movie about 2/3s through that it seemed to purposefully try to get you physically agitated through sights and sounds.
Sounds like how Michael Bay directs a movie. Fast shot to the next fast shot. Also how Steve Harris does the Iron Maiden live DVDs. Fast shot after fast shot, and too often the camera doesn’t linger on one guitar player during a solo. Leaves people sort of wanting more, which may be the case with this documentary.
Just emailed your blog to my daughter...! Thanks.
[ I thought, silly me, that we had some sort of system of power checking going on in this country and yet here we have one guy single-handedly destroying the country. ]
No, he’s had plenty of help from the Democrat party (especially that corrupt bastard Harry Reid), and the hyper-partisan media hacks who have provided cover.
Hubby, his brother and I went yesterday to see the movie, in eastern Ohio. I was disappointed to see less than a dozen people there after hearing of all the packed theaters. Could be the lack of a decent newspaper locally. Nobody knew it was playing. Nothing new in it to me, but the guys liked the movie. Hubby refuses to go to the movies, but relented because it is a documentary. He hates fantasy. like he said though, “the people who need to see it, won’t”.
I’ll never forgive John Roberts, the traitor, for joining with Obama and the Rats and upholding unConstitutional Obamacare. He failed his country when it needed him most. He is a coward and perhaps a self-serving one.
Sadly, it was not just the Dims, but all of us, fishtalk. All of us who sat on our behinds and our wallets ignoring the fiscal errors of W and moral errors of Billy-Jeff because times were good and the Day of Reckoning could barely be seen on the horizon. All of us who have allowed our schools to ignore the rich, good, and exceptional history of this country and focus on perceived flaws and the Lib agenda instead. All of us who allowed our representatives to keep kicking the can down the road until the road became filled with pot holes and ends at the precipice of a cliff. Like Pogo, we have met the enemy, and he is us. Thank heavens for the Tea Party and a few leaders like Ryan and Coburn and Demint and Palin and Walker and Inhofe and the few other voices of sanity crying in the wilderness. We better listen and act now. Time to start crawling over broken glass again...
It worked on me.
But then again my agitation started when unvetted Obama was permitted by the MSM to slip through as the RAT candidate in 2008.
