The Hill: Palin on the big screen
Broken into a series of chapters that focus solely on Palin’s political career, the film itself opens with a jarring (in a good way) montage of bitterly hostile celebrities who obviously don’t have enough humanity of their own to see the same in a mother of five...-- snip --...Even though part of my job is to track this celebrity venom and nothing I saw was new, the sheer volume of hate still takes your breath away.Bannon’s answer to this is one of the film’s more effective moments: a credit sequence over home movies where we watch Sarah Palin — someone’s little girl — grow up.
Since none of those celebrities were born with a shame-gene, you almost have to feel ashamed for them.
There really is some AMAZING writing here!Here's EVEN MORE from John Nolte at bighollywood.breitbart.com:
...There’s nothing partisan about "The Undefeated."The Republican establishment and Big Oil take a well-deserved beating from open to close.
If anything, they come off worse than the Left who are really only guilty of being their awful selves. It’s just a fact that throughout most of her career (and the film’s second act) — as Palin moved from Wasilla Mayor to Chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to Governor — she fearlessly and effectively battled her own party and Big Oil almost every step of the way.I don’t want to get too wonky in a film review, but as you watch this particular section you’re going to learn as much about the MSM as you do the GovernorTry to imagine how many elite, blow-dried souls Lucifer was able to secure the rights to in order for them to gain the sway needed to convince the public that an undistinguished half-term Senator most famous for voting present was more qualified to be President than one of the most successful and popular governor’s in the country...-- snip --...Palin says it best (paraphrasing):
"A politician has a choice between eating well and sleeping well."In her public life, Palin has resigned from two offices; once as Chairwoman of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation in order to call attention to corruption and most famously as Alaska’s governor. The former put her at odds with the GOP establishment and cost her middle-class family a six-figure salary.The latter cost her a ton of political capital.In both cases, it’s quite obvious the Governor understood that the consequences of her stepping down would be personally devastating, but in both cases she chose to sleep rather than eat well.Sure, Palin could have hung on as Governor and avoided taking fire as a "quitter" even from some on our side, but at what price to the State of Alaska?
I might just as well post the whole darn thing here -- it's THAT good!!Here as ANOTHER big chunk of DYNAMITE analysis from John Nolte at bighollywood.breitbart.com:
...Leftists in the MSM (but I repeat myself) have already complained about "The Undefeated" being commissioned by Palin (a lie) and that it skips over issues like the nonsense-scandal that was TrooperGate.But the very fact that everyone reading this already knows about TrooperGate answers that criticism.The documentary is new information for anyone still stupid enough to watch the Nightly News and read Politico."The Undefeated" is about filling in the gaping holes the corrupt MSM intentionally dug.
Furthermore, unlike the MSM, Bannon makes no secret of his biases. He’s not weaponizing objectivity or trying to con anyone. But if the early response is any indication, critics intend to do to the film what they to do to Palin: ignore substance at all costs...
-- snip --
...Will "The Undefeated" change minds?
I think it will, especially among open-minded Independents who have yet to be introduced to "this" Sarah Palin.Thankfully, due to New Media and a filmmaker willing to put a million of his own dollars where his mouth is, we can now get the truth out there using our own Bus Tour — our own message-delivery device that works around the GOP eunuchs and corrupted MSM.With any luck, the season of watching the insufferable choke on a hockey mom’s exhaust has only begun."The Undefeated" is a comprehensive and at times moving must-see for anyone interested in the truth about Sarah Palin.
I don’t think you have this one. :-)
“The Undefeated:” Documentary Seeks to Reset Conventional Wisdom on Palin

QUOTES:
While making the film, Bannon said that what he found most surprising about Palin was how she never really publicly spoke of her record of reform in Alaska.
“I think that’s because her parents raised her to not brag about her accomplishments,” Bannon said.
[...]
Bannon said he titled the film “The Undefeated” in part because Palin fights for “the values that she stands for and represents — the American spirit that is found on the frontier — and those values cannot be defeated.”
The volume of articles being posted about this new movie is getting to be a little overwhelming!It's a GOOD thing though -- and leads me to believe that "The Undefeated" will enjoy widespread success in the theaters.

You’re very welcome. It’s a great thread.
Thanks for the link. Oh my goodness, I just read the story. It’s Sarah’s fault that media people following her bus are running red lights and peeing on the side of the road.
I chuckled when I read the line that Palin’s bus “flew” at 45 MPH in a 35 MPH zone.
The idea that Palin has forced these people in the media to break traffic laws is absurd.
Great guggamugga! What’s happening?
What’s next? DU?
Thanks again for the yeoman work.
Good morning
Your last ping was about seven hours ago.
Don’t you ever sleep?

“The Undefeated” certainly helps reverse the negative perceptions of Palin, especially the prevailing view that she’s not ready for primetime. However, it will require Americans to actually spend two hours in the theater to find out why.Indie Sarah Palin flick could alter the 2012 political landscapeBannon told me it might not be as difficult as some might suspect. He said even liberal theater owners are clamoring for a chance to screen the movie, realizing that Palin’s story is a lot more remarkable than even they realized. Aside from selling tickets, Bannon also wants to change minds. That will be a tougher sell.
Oops, meant to also copy RonDog on post #115.
good job...love it!
Jan Crawford, CBS News: New Sarah Palin movie hints at presidential runBy tracing her political rise in Alaska, her battles with Big Oil and the Republican establishment, and her accomplishments as governor, the movie argues one overriding point:
Sarah Palin is a seasoned executive who is more than qualified to be President.
Excellent, onyx!
