Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Russ Hog This movie recaps the 2016 election. It shows how both the left wing and the right wing reacted so emotionally to Trump that they lost touch with reality and made bad choices and were easy to defeat. It also shows that the current elite in politics and media are detached from how much of the rest of the world views them...and mistrusts and dislikes them. There was true rage against the elite in the United States. Much like in the trial of OJ Simpson, the jury was so disgusted with the LAPD that they saw their verdict as justice to let a guilty man to walk free to make up for all of the crimes committed against the black community. Trump winning was Americans reacting with disgust to our current system. To either go twenty more years in the same direction, or to change direction dramatically. The founding fathers intended for the American people to be able to use reason to elect our leaders. It seemed that reason was lost to this election, but perhaps there is a poetic justice to the results of the 2016 election and perhaps...like OJ Simpson...there will be more chapters to come where the pendulum swings the other way.
seabrooke999 I won't comment on the politics that other reviewers did. That belongs on Facebook, not here.This captures the excitement of the campaign. I love how they used music to heighten the drama. The film captured how angry half of America was. And the end captured the poignant sadness that the democrats had at the outcome and the joy that Trump voters had. The only thing I'd change would be to cut some of the middle part which showed the long campaign. That was repetitive and probable only interesting to political wonks.I watched the series The Circus. This is a nice ending to that series. It wraps up the crazy election.
Douglas W. Campbell The beginning of the movie when the focus was on the Republican primaries came across as relatively unbiased, but the coverage of the race after the conventions became completely unhinged. The blatant pro-Clinton bias of Halperin was bad enough but Heileman was absolutely insufferable.Furthermore, most of the "news" clips were from CNN and MSNBC, two channels that don't practice responsible journalism. And like the MSM coverage during the campaign, little or no attention was paid to the many Clinton scandals or her poorly run campaign- just a brief mention of those leaked emails. And the ending was pitiful - extensive coverage inside the Javits Center where Clinton was to have given a victory speech - the 3 "pundits" (especially Heileman) reacting with Snowflake-like disbelief at the outcome. I thought Heileman was going to start sobbing at any moment. Plus, attendees were filmed watching the developing election results on monitors tuned to the Clinton News Network. It's no wonder they were "stunned". At the ending, we were supposed to feel sad and depressed (check out the melancholy ending theme music) about Trump's victory which is about what I expected from a channel like Showtime. It has some good moments, especially from early in the campaign, but after the conventions, the movie descends into blatant Democratic bias. If you choose to watch this, you'll be thinking at the end, "Well, there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back." Unless, of course, you are interested in learning more about how out of touch liberals are these days.
CocksureBurns Despite the fragile butt-hurt feelings of interviewers Halperin and Heilemann, Trump is obviously the right man for the times. Sometimes one needs to break a few heads, and conventional wisdoms to make an omelet. A HUGE, beautiful, winning bigly omelet. And, as Halperin, Heilemann and McKinnon indicate, while nobody expected a moose-turd omelet for breakfast, that IS what was ordered. Shut-up and eat it.Obama broke the 'white ceiling'. HRC broke the 'glass ceiling' (by being the first woman to win the presidential nomination of a major US political party). Now the tremendous Donald J. Trump has broken the 'rubber ceiling'.He has given inspiration to mental defectives everywhere to live their dreams of world domination. No more play-acting out your jerk-water fantasies in a padded room with action figures. Shed your straight jackets and fully realize your wildest alternative realities! The election of this fabulous Reality TV star has shown the low I.Q. populace that if you pool your resources with other intellectually challenged sociopaths, there's no limit to what you can't imagine to have accomplished. The future is as bright as your tinfoil hat!
