I have also seen the movie twice -- in Anchorage, Alaska and Sacramento, California. The second time was with my son, daughter-in-law, and one of their friends (all 40 years old). We had a great discussion over frozen yogurt following the movie.
Mostly an older crowd in both showings I've been to. Both ended in silence and then clapping, but a sort of nervous clapping. My thought is that the applause was for Danish D'Souza and the work he has done putting this documentary together. At least, that's why I clapped.
I viewed the film once. Packed house of middle age and senior citizens. At the conclusion— after a minute of ‘someone drug my flag in the mud and pulled a big wool cap over me and now I have to admit it’—followed by sporadic applause as they finally admitted they were flat out suckers. The applause did not come easily to many. It was a go ahead and kick me for my stupidity moment of admission.
WE get the government we DESERVE.
