CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

reko_castren "Media Control" is a saying that has been successfully made into a cliché, that gets thrown out a lot. And it seems that most people, including myself, might be sceptical about what we're told and shown in the media but don't really understand how it works. We are conditioned to believe in "free speech" and the news as "unbiased reporting of facts" and this idea of behind the scenes control seems always a little "1984".This documentary explains HOW it works and WHY it works. It shows thru a few examples, and for the most part, sheer logic, the infrastructure of mediapolitics, and how it shapes the world and our views of it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!why I gave only 8 stars:-the Orwell juxtapose doesn't always work -doesn't try to get the opposite opinion -could have used a little variety in the footage -music wasn't good -might have worked better if made a little shorter and "tighter"at some pointsOK, you've seen the movie, now go read some Chomsky! :)

rachaelsandefer This is a must see movie for all citizens of the world - if we hope to reclaim our liberty we must learn how the message is being filtered and controlled. For the first step begins with the realization the message is being controlled.Anyone who values their freedom and liberty should watch this movie and share it with as many people as possible. This movie is extremely well done, with great wonderful film editing, plus the content is easy to follow and understand. And of course the Orwellian analogy is dead on accurate.Excellent film. Kudos to all involved but especially to Director/Writer Robert Kane Pappas. Thank you for your courage and your patriotism.

clemenscomet goodness gracious, where to begin. Orwell's premise was the inevitable evolution of socialism into a totalitarian society. I don't believe Zinn and Chomsky belong with Orwell. At best Zinn and Chomsky are examples of half truths and naiveté that are their own form of new speak. Both of these two make valid points on the way to their misdirection, something both sides of the political spectrum are guilty of. Bear this in mind when watching this movie. I've read Zinn and listened to Chomsky speak, but they are ideological dinosaurs who make a lot of sense until the fruits of their ideology is realized. It is not that they are fraudulent as many politicians and at least one movie maker are. It is that they refuse to recognize how much socialism has debilitated humanity.

mmrobins I've only begun watching documentary films like this recently due in large part to the success of Michael Moore's films. This film is right up there with Moore's films in quality, in thought provoking content, and in sad truth. This is the kind of film that it terrifies me to see but I'm glad that I saw it. I remember when I read 1984 in high school and I thought it was great that there was literature like that so that the kind of events that take place in 1984 could never happen in real life. Orwell would be rolling in his grave because those kind of events are happening now, and this movie makes is frighteningly, frighteningly obvious. I don't care if you consider yourself Repbulican, Democrat or Independent, if you have any care for truth watch this film. The news will never look the same again.
