My wife and I saw it today and both thought it was well done. The anti-colonialism that is a part of Obama’s being was clearly presented.
This is not a fire breathing birther type of presentation. Just a family history that had me wondering how any kid could have escaped without issues. Too bad we are paying for those issues.
Ending was sobering. The map of ‘United Islamic States’ turned my stomach.
My husband and son wanted to see it and talked me into going, lured with a fantastic dinner plan.
It makes me sick, actually, to think Americans put him in power. I knew it all before I went. Seeing it all put together on the screen... It was like a nightmare to me.
All of us were terrorized, like we had visited the local airport and had an disgusting communist agentbot’s hands probing our croches. We were quiet on the way home.
That would be the Caliphate, under its own nuclear umbrella.
I saw it at a matinee this afternoon; theater was 1/4 full (not bad for a matinee on a holiday weekend in Minneapolis).
Tremendous production details; I loved the way they established the author as
a) a fellow victim (Indian, as in helpdesk
b) Ivy League grad
They used a mixture of historical data, on-camera interviews with experts (New York University, University of Hawaii, family members) as well as voice-overs from Obama reading from Dreams From My Father to establish the point.
And then only with say 10-15 minutes to go did they go into his extreme radicalism, and only the last 5 minutes did they get into the stomach-churning predictions. All illustrated graphically as befits a film presentation.
And -- as befits marketing -- the film ends with an appeal to the viewer: "It depends on YOU" and the closing image: Love Him or Hate Him, Now You Know Him.
A+, five stars.
