Seems like it is not a cheaply made movie. There are lot of realistic enactments of past American history. Graphics and scenes are of high quality. I saw material never seen on MSM. I learned a lot about American history. Even my daughter said "it was intense and a good movie".
This movie should be a required viewing in all high-schools. Obama & Hillary will not be happy about this movie, guaranteed.
It;s a terrific movie. Go see it! Well made.
Don’t tell me how it ends.
We saw it on July 4th, and thought it was excellent! I waded over into the DU sewer, and the DUmmies were foaming at the mouth over it, so it is definitely on target.
It is absolutely worth the price of admission.
My only potential point of disagreement with it is its take on the Civil War. When I was in school, one of my teachers said that the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery: that it was about if the South had the right to split away from the Union.
I don’t know if that’s true or not. Frankly, most history books bore me to such a degree that it’s probably more trouble than it’s worth to investigate any farther. The rest of the movie was excellent.
It was surprising to see “America” address the NSA’s electronic surveillance state and Aaron Swartz’s death toward the end of the film. Sure, it’s easy to see liberalism in front of you when Bathhouse Barry gets to work with his magic pen, but there’s a war for digital rights being fought that less technically inclined conservatives don’t know about.
And sadly, a lot of it is being fought by leftist groups like the ACLU.
So how is your daughter doing?
I took my 12 year old boy and he loved it too. It was a great film! When they were talking about indentured servants and slavery I was hoping that he would mention that the first slave owner in America was a black man: http://topconservativenews.com/2012/03/americas-first-slave-owner-was-a-black-man/
But then I realized that Dinesh’s goal was most likely to appeal to more ‘low information’ people and I’m glad he didn’t go into the weeds on things like that.
Saw it. Wonderful. I sobbed in a few places. It gave me hope. But we are on a razor-thin edge.
D’Souza was an acolyte of Reagan. He really, really gets it. Hope every American sees this movie. Even some of the old lefties he interviews in the film are shocked by what has been happening.
