Better Late Then Never
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I am a big fan of comedy, jokes and absurdism. This film didn't deliver so much. As far as fiction comedy I suggest Guardians Of the Galaxy. As far as pure comedy gold Hangover is a better recommendation. As far as dress up people parading like from another time try Spaceballs. The director and the dress up actors should try another line of work.
In what sort of a country can anyone put a bunch of lies financed by the elites on film and call it a documentary?Inbreds, Fox News followers, Sinclair viewers and the elite will love it. If you buy imported Chinese merchandise (from the MAGA or Ivanka lines) you NEED this!
An absolute utter extreme piece of hyper nationalist propaganda. Imagine the world without the USA? Yes, I can imagine it, and with me the majority of the people of the world: I imagine a world with less wars, more just, with - maybe - less wild rapacious capitalism, without people like Bush jr. and sr., Reagan, Nixon, Kissinger, without the Vietnam war. I imagine a world more cooperative and less competitive. I imagine a world where there is no bully nation which self-appointed the global sheriff and which decides which governments are to be left in peace and which harassed with coupes, wars, destabilization, interference. Amarica: Imagine the World Without Her ... yes I do imagine it and it is a much better world than the present one.
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.
