In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War in Word and Deed

PG-13 | 01 October 2004 (USA)

Ronald Reagan was the President of the Screen Actor's Guild during the incredibly violent Hollywood trade union strike in the 1940's. Reagan saw first-hand the brutality, destruction and oppression that defined the communist party as it attempted to overtake the unions to convert them into propaganda mills for the Soviet Union. The strike incited in him a call to action and an unshakeable belief that communism was a "form of insanity" which must be wiped from the earth. From SAG President, to GE Spokesman, Governor of California and finally, to President of the United States, this film chronicles the rise of Ronald Reagan, his unwavering conviction that America was the world's last best hope of man, and shows why he is hero to over a billion people who he helped free from the bonds of Soviet domination.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

rugoing The reviews from a liberal community should usher in a "ah-huh" on this masterpiece covering what not only Ronald Reagan held dear but what our current society is trending towards.Soft Communism and Marxism is rabid in American society today. The things Reagan fought hard to defeat once again has raised its ugly head. This covers the basics of these two subjects in a light format. The premise is to show how things slowly grew over years culminating to a near climax. A one-world communist nation is still on the agenda list. Today the word communism is softer, gentler term (defined by those that want this madness).You have to understand and learn from the past or be destined to repeat it in either the same manner or a different but similar fashion.The composition of the film has truth wrapped all around it.

Z Train This is an extremely well-made movie that shows the truth about both Ronald Reagan and Communism. I grew up in a liberal area, and practically the only thing that I heard about Reagan was that he was the reason why AIDS spread. I also grew up learning in public school that the entire fight against Communism was based on American paranoia. This movie shows the evils and horrors that Communism has wrought against this world. It also shows how many people have demonized people throughout history who have tried to stop "the beast." Other than the great message this movie exudes, it is extremely well-edited and visually spectacular. Cuts of Reagan in black and white film traverse seamlessly with color shots of him in the press. This documentary doesn't just parlay information. It also tells a full and comprehensive story about an escalated conflict that put society on the brink of nuclear war. This movie shows the courage of a man who didn't listen to his critics on the left or the right and just stuck with his principles to do what he believed. A person of any political persuasion will find something they like in this movie. All in all - a great history lesson, a great portrait, and a great film.

flynnpatrick In The Face of Evil offers a fresh look at 20th century history. It begins with a basic explanation the global climate after World War I, which gave rise to a number of tyrannical leaders and oppressive systems of government.The film is artistic and well made. Powerful footage is complimented by a beautiful soundtrack. Irene Ziegler has a great voice for narration. Interviews with former high officials in the KGB & soviet military provide insight into the thoughts of the Soviet Polit Bureau.The story of Reagan's stand against evil is just plain interesting, and I guess it wouldn't take too much creativity to make an exciting film. But I think Bannon and Watkins have brought it together with punch and sophistication.

snuggleskunk This documentary covers a lot of old ground. Some may think that it is unnecessary for a rehash of old ground but I don't. This film is obviously an attempt by the right wing of politics to answer the conservative bashing of Michael Moore style docs that have become increasingly popular in recent times.This film is based on a book but comprehensively covers Reagan's rise to power and his development of views on communism. We see how he came to see it as the greatest threat to freedom in the world and how he stood up to the Soviet Union in a deeply courageous way. Whatever your views on Reagan's politics this is a very interesting topic to examine.In terms of film making this documentary does fall short in a few ways. One gets the impression that the maker had limited access to interviews and footage as a lot is told by narration and only a few people (i think 4) are interviewed for the documentary. In some ways it is not as slick as we have come to expect from recent documentaries and comes across more like a history channel biography but nonetheless I would recommend this film to anyone wanting to know more about Reagan's contribution to the cold war.
