Here's MORE from Pamela Geller's POWERFUL review, posted at atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com:
...I hope this is the opening salvo in the right's counter assault on the left's cultural choke-hold and manufactured narratives they audaciously call news.

It is time, America, we go on the offense.

Bannon kicks off the film by exposing the fierce pathology behind Palin Derangement Syndrome with a series of vidclips of well known "celebrities" spewing X-rated misogynistic, sexist, and vicious remarks about Palin.

It speaks more to their character or lack thereof.

Bannon actually has two versions of the film - the x-rated and the PG13 edit for family audiences.
What I admire most is how Palin does not back down in spite of this misogynistic war on her very existence.
Having been on the receiving end of violent left wing poison (I actually make a cameo in the film when a Keith Olbermann "worst person in the world" clip is used - I am the runner up to Palin) the abuse against her is shocking. And yet Sarah moves forward without hesitation with guts and grit and grace. I love her.
She has character and spine like no one else. Obama would melt in one day under such relentless attack. The left does not realize that they have trained this woman for D-day battle.

America needs to see this movie if, for no other reason, to know what a real leader looks like and acts like and to understand what Palin actually accomplished.

America must begin to understand how violent and destructive the elitists that control information dissemination have become.

We witness an absolute campaign of destruction of a squeaky clean, brilliant, accomplished champion of the people by bloodthirsty, jealous hyenas. And the craven complicity of the Republican establishment will drive legions away from the old guard and their Rovian mechanics.

The Old Guard must stand down.

I think of Patty Griffin singing “I don’t ever give up”.

Thanks a million for posting this.

I sense a new beginning, an awakening in America.

You go, Sarah!

You're welcome!
Supporting Governor Palin, and this new movie is a "labor of love!"
Personally, I like her phrase, a new "Restoration" -- like in Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally.
Speaking of Mr. Beck, I wonder what role his new "GBTV" project will play in all this. ;)

Ron, I think that picture was from the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, my hometown - in fact, right across the street from me. I had a chance to go to that, but I was sick that day. Hopefully I can make up for it with a trip to D.C.!

So this is interesting. Mr. Bannon created this film all on his own, without actually ever MEETING Sarah Palin? This isn’t put out by any group connected with her, in any way? That is excellent, because though the left will try to accuse her of pushing the film, if she’s never been involved, with the exception of allowing the filmmaker the right to use the audio version of her book, they won’t be able to make their case.

“Markets” in film distribution usually refers to cities.

Interesting. What a creative way to enter the race.

Well Obama and DumbBum Romney. Plain Spoken Sarah has entered the building . Be afraid Obama. Be afraid Romney. Be very afraid.

I understand.
Personally, though (like Matt Lewis, below) -- I hear "Gonna Fly Now," from the very first "Rocky" movie. :o)
From dailycaller.com:
...Lastly — and you’re not hit over the head with this in the film — but this movie works because hers is, in essence, a terrific underdog story.

Here you have a very normal person (the film opens with home video footage of a very young Sarah Palin) who has dramatic early success, but just as she reaches for the brass ring, someone pulls the rug out from under her.

Can she make a comeback? Wait and see.
There are ups and downs and heroes and villains and mistakes along the way. This is all great theater.
I’m reminded of the original “Rocky,” when Apollo Creed decides to give a “nobody” a shot at the title.
Everybody thinks Rocky is in over his head. After all, how can he beat the champ? But Rocky rises to the occasion (to me, the convention speech was the big “match”.)
And, of course — as few recall — Rocky lost the first fight...

So this is interesting. Mr. Bannon created this film all on his own, without actually ever MEETING Sarah Palin?
From thehill.com:
...Bannon said his idea for the film sprouted when Palin aides Rebcca Mansour and Tim Crawford approached him following the 2010 elections and asked him to produce several short videos that tout her accomplishments during her term as governor and explain her controversial decision to resign in 2009, following her defeat as the vice presidential nominee on the 2008 GOP ticket.

Bannon...instead set out to make a feature-length film about Palin's political career and his Victory Film Group fronted $1 million for its production.

While Bannon said Palin had no editorial role in the film, and that he has only met her once in person, he obtained access to Palin's allies in Alaska with the help of members of her current and former staff, including her former-spokeswoman Meghan Stapleton.

No governor at any time...
...not LaGuardia, Roosevelt or even Reagan...
...accomplished anywhere near what this champion achieved in her first 18 months in office. - Pamela Geller
Wow.

This message must have been hammered hard in the movie, since Matt Lewis makes the same point.

From dailycaller.com:

...This film captures the emotional response — the hope and excitement — many Americans felt when she was selected. Don’t be surprised if some folks even tear up during the convention speech scene.

Putting emotion aside, the second thing this film does well is make the logical case for Palin to be taken seriously.

Viewers who have never read "Sarah from Alaska" or "Going Rogue" may learn for the first time just how good she was as governor.

Her short tenure as Governor of Alaska was remarkably strong (as the film points out, her approval rating was well over 80 percent when she was placed on the national ticket).

Bannon spends a lot of time telling the story of Palin’s accomplishments as governor, and the truth is that few governors — even two-term governors — have ever had a better or more productive eighteen months than Palin had before her selection as McCain’s running mate.

NRO: Palin the Undefeated

"By far, the most eye-opening part of the film — and no doubt, most useful to the presidential hopes of Palin — is the second act, detailing Palin’s time as Alaska’s governor. Oil companies are the relentless villain of Alaskan politics; in retrospect it seems bizarre that the woman most hated by modern liberals spent so much of her career fighting tooth and nail with oil-company executives. During this whole stretch, there isn’t a partisan note. Alaskan politics is painted as a rigged game benefiting the politically powerful and influential with the citizenry getting the short end of the stick, time and again — until Palin appears on the scene."

From Jedediah Bila, at dailycaller.com:
A good portion of "The Undefeated" focuses on setting the record straight on Palin’s record...

-- snip --

...Most importantly, Bannon links it all together through shared themes — a distaste for closed-door negotiations, a belief in the power of free-market competition to yield the best results, and a desire to uphold the Alaska Constitution and to protect the rights and interests of hard-working Alaskans...

-- snip --

... so that Palin’s 2008 RNC speech and 2011 Wisconsin Tea Party rally speech impact viewers with renewed meaning.

They’re not words from a politician who is simply saying what people want to hear.

They’re words that are directly in line with everything Sarah Palin has done in politics from the beginning...
