The movie 'America: Imagine the World Without Her' is a loser (Letter to Editor)

My wife and I are avid movie attendees — dinner and a movie every Friday for more than 50 years. This past Fourth of July was no exception.

In the movie guide that day, the PG listed “America: Imagine the World Without Her” (not reviewed). This seemed to be the perfect movie for us, so off we went to the Galleria theater. It started out pretty well, and then George Washington was shot by a sniper and the colonies supposedly lost the American Revolution. That is where the premise of the title ends and the growth of America was described.

--snip--

First, the movie portrayed him as a disciple of a well-known communist — then it started to describe the Affordable Care Act as a failure along with the charge that large insurance companies orchestrated it (total garbage). It is working very well and is very popular with the American people. The Republican House has voted more than 50 times to repeal all or part of it with no success.

At this point, I began to boo in the theater and make unkind comments about the movie. My wife and I got up and left. As we were leaving, the movie was attacking Hillary Clinton (how desperate is the right wing?).

The writer of this letter is the loser. He does get beaten up in the comments section, a surprise as this is a left-leaning rag.

After 50 years of marriage, he’s clearly in the “go home and take a pill” range. That might change his mind, but I doubt it.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Gee that’s one, maybe two people that don’t like it.

In my book that’s a winner!

[Fido969]

My wife and I got up and left.

Well.... bye.

[Maceman]

I have read a number of leftist attacks on this movie, especially from professional critics like Roger Ebert. Lots of complaints, and even accusations that the movie being full of lies.

Of course, the critics never actually point to specific lies or offer any truth of their supposed untruths.

Typical leftist tripe. Once they get past the baseless accusations and eye rolls, they have nothing else to say except for calling names.

Anyone that addicted to Hollywood movies is going to be a mind numbed robot liberal.

[blackdog]

Apply that same standard to that stupid Al Gore flick about the end of the ice caps, polar bears, shorelines, and the arrival of drought, famine, disease, and we might have a conversation?

"But that was like years ago dude"

[ilgipper]

Dude might want to look at all the health care companies who signed on and their increasing revenue post launch. The left is so stupid they think they got one over on those evil healthcare companies. Instead they signed on with one of the biggest boosts ever given my government to big business.

[fatnotlazy]

Can't have a movie criticizing Obama. So racist, you know.

Liberals can't stand truth or any opinions contrary to theirs.

[angry elephant]

Anyone that addicted to Hollywood movies is going to be a mind numbed robot liberal.”

That was my thought as well. He would have seen hundreds of the leftist movies over those years and that is what he enjoys.

[rollo tomasi]

I believe you mean a critic from RogerEbert.com. Ebert probably wished he could continue to write after death though.

Ebert would of panned the movie anyway because Cultural Marxism was his dogma and the senses his gods which in this case you would be correct in a figurative case anyway.

Stuck on stupid

As a Canadian, the royalist vs whig argument is still somewhat alive here among those who care about those things, so this might be an interesting movie for me. Had the king won, we would probably have had a Tory version of the US and Britain prevail. (Toryism has always been alive and well sadly here in Canada).

[glennaro]

The movie attacked some of the basic tenets of their secular religion ... Leftism.

[Blue Highway]

typical lefty loonie with their feigned outrage. Only a liberal has the nerve to track down a manager to DEMAND a refund from the manager, probably loving the idea of making a scene at the theater. I can’t imagine how many conservatives walk out of the theater on the typical leftist Hollywood drivel without saying a peep instead of throwing a tantrum like a baby like this middle aged guy probably did.

[AllAmericanGirl44]

For sure, but consider he’s been with his wife 50 years, he is well past middle age.

Sigh, the ignorant among us is frustrating.

[Blue Highway]

old, brainwashed 70+ year old liberal loonie haha.

[Night Hides Not]

Ebert probably wished he could continue to write after death though.

I'll bet he's still casting votes for Democrats.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Currently his movie is over $8.2 million, with a production budget of about $2.5 million.

I saw the movie at the very first show the day it came to town. I was not disappointed. It made me feel proud to be an American again. Perhaps with any luck liberals who watch it will have a stroke and die. After 5 years of personally suffering from their systematic destruction of the country I really have come to hate them that much.
