Too much of everything

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Dinesh D'Souza is a convicted criminal who peddles crap to make money from the tricked and the deluded. This is written not as a piece of history, but to appeal to ignorance and misleading facts. America is great but Dinesh doesn't care. He wants your mullah. (for his conviction defense?). Dinesh tries his best to manipulate the narrative to show that Leftists are only plain wrong, but he forgets to explain how the new deal, unions, taxes and comraderie built America and its great middle class. Conservatives only succeed in ruining the best society the world has by convincing us to give them even more money and make the gap between the rich and the poor wider. Of course our founders and every generation knew this, but we are still being conned by Sinclair Broadcasting, Fox News and the right-wing media. This is the worst misleading piece of fiction that I have ever seen (and I watch Fox News' rage machine) and one of the most lying movies of my long life, because Dinesh's refutation of a kind and cooperative America is a stunning middle finger to all that is good and beautiful about America!

I never knew this movie existed till it popped up on AmazonPrime. After watching it, I was blown away that it had such a low rating from IMDb. Consequently, I decided to throw in my 2 cents. The Movie: This movie was created to show the significant role America has played in the history of the world and to address some of the modern-day criticism of our country. D'Souza addresses them chronologically, starting with Christopher Columbus, and lays out the counter-arguments in 20 minute or so blocks of time for each selected argument. Its mix of dramatic and documentary-type filmography was both different and entertaining for me.Accuracy: I've looked up some specifics from the movie that I found particularly interesting, such as the magnitude illness affected the Native Americans (including the origins of the comparative Bubonic plague), number of indentured Irish servants who worked alongside the slaves, and some of the more autobiographic moments depicted. All of them seem to stack up to my findings. Political Slant: Although the movie had a conservative perspective, there was nothing in the movie that I considered slanderous. Most of the political referenced made by D'Souza were supported through the video footage from TV or other various forms of media he provided. A viewer might not like what the film says, but nobody on any website that I've seen has garnered a solid, factual argument against his points. Overall: I am politically disenfranchised with both parties and both 2016 political candidates. Being in this position might explain how I could view the movie as optimistic and hopeful. When I finished watching it, I really did feel proud of the accomplishments my country has achieved and the influence it has on the world. It made me feel like I lived in a place where people really could be whatever they choose to become. This is a view I want my children and grandchildren to have of their home in years to come. I would watch it again and I would encouraged others to do so.

Again, political documentary. Conservatives will like it, Democrats probably won't even see it.The USA has, without a doubt, changed the world for the better many times, and without her, the world would be in a lot less safe and less prosperous place.The negative reviews will be from Democrats because they believe America is "not" great and never was. Whether it's a "great" or "good" movie is up for debate. But the 1 Stars are usually folks who never watched it and are not inspired that the Union of States we live in has done more good than evil.

I liked this film, but as a confirmed Centrist (Taoists are supposed to be the middle of the wheel), I was uncomfortable with the bias in the film against the Left, Hilary Clinton, and Barrack Obama. America is also about being open-minded. This film is not; it is biased. Despite the bias, D'Souza makes a wonderful PARTIAL film (before the attacks on liberals). His set-up at the beginning of the film is quite clever and very effective. He interviews various miscreants and their theories why the US is evil. D'Souza methodically goes over each theory and blows it to bits with excellent research and content. By the time he is finished, you are proud to be an American again. If he had done only that with the film, it would have been a classic. But, unfortunately, he begins his diatribe against the left and the film loses its original intensity.How sad. The film could have been a classic with a bit more even- handedness. It should be a prime example of how to make a documentary and then, at the same time, a prime example of not how to make a documentary. Should be seen for the good parts.
