The only stuff I've seen by Dinesh has been on Youtube.
Some of it interesting and true. Can't lie.
Out of 5 stars for that Farenhype docu, I'd have to give it a 3.5.
Without that mainstream movie alot of people (myself included) trusted Moore's word and investigative skills. Really thought he was uncovering some stuff.
Turns out Moore did more than just embellish that 'truth', he flat out lied. More than a little bit too.
Thanks for the reply, and the rating. I think I might watch this tonight actually....or at least start on it.
As for Dinesh...both of his films are VERY good Prudence! Whereas Moore yells, and tells you opinions AND like you said yourself; many lies.....,Dinesh just goes on his journey for truth to see what's real and what's not. At the end of Obama's America he literally says (paraphrasing) "So there you have it. Those are my predictions, and what I've learned. Hopefully, you learned something from this and in the film I've told you how I reached my conclusions/theory/predictions. Go out and research for yourself to decide on your own if I'm right or wrong"
It's hard for me to say which film is better. I honestly think they are the two best political documentaries I've ever seen done for mass consumption. Clinton Cash is pretty good to, but to my knowledge it did not go to theaters. Also, it's hard to say which film of his to watch first. Obama's America was put out in 2012, and gives a great background of who he is and a theory of what he really is about. He doesn't believe the birther thing, but he does believe..........well, I won't spoil it.
Obama's half brother from Kenya is in it, and that segment is very interesting. He makes some predictions about Obama, as he did before the movie when he wrote a book about him that landed him in jail. All of them came true. He talks about how he went to jail, and the hand Obama's administration played in it in the beginning of Hillary's America.
Hillary's America (subtitle: The History of the Democratic Party) is not really about Hillary at all hardly. She's mentioned briefly in the beginning and then again towards the end for about 20 minutes. It's really about the subtitle, it is very eye opening, and it will anger you regardless if you're on the left or right. If you can rent it on DVD, get the one with bonus features. There's an 1hr30min+ of interviews with the 3 main people who's talking points in their interviews he splices into the movie....in full and unedited. One is with a black female black history professor. The whole thing is fascinating, and again he ends it pretty much like Obama's America in saying "here's what I learned, here's where I learned it, now go out and decide for yourself" If you read all of this and are interested in it, reply as such and I'll reply with a question that will likely peak your interest in it even more.
One thing most on here would be shocked to know about me is that I've never been a political person really. I mean, I read and keep up on things, but if you read my posts I argue more about society, culture, and the direction of our nation than I do about actual politics a lot of times. I have to look up a lot of the shit I post about actual politics and politicians.
If you were to go back to my posts before I started posting again, you'd see very little if any political talk at all....especially prior to mid 2015. Trump, and those two movies changed that about me. I will admit that even I thought the dems were the party of love, compassion, and humanity over policies and money. After watching Hillary's America specifically, I realize how fucking wrong I was. The dems are an evil racist bunch that have manipulated our nation for profit and power for many many decades. They are the ultimate spinsters and corrupt frauds. Watch it, research after it, and decide if I'm right or wrong as well is all I the more I can say. I literally have about 20 pages of notes between the two movies of shit to look up....much of which I still haven't gotten to.
Quite frankly, I'm getting bored with talking about politics on here as I've read with my own eyes that no matter what Trump does he will never be given credit, and he would never earn people's votes. That is a close minded pea brained attitude that belongs to a person that does not love our country at all IMO. How could they when they don't even love themselves enough to be true to who they really are? When a person's opinions are not their own, they are a waste of human flesh as far as I'm concerned.
So that's me posting rationally about what I've learned, and where I'm coming from when I post about political shit here. I'm not a Trump is perfect person like you all on the left think. I despise the Clintons so much that I was willing to overlook a lot of flaws to keep them from becoming more powerful. It was a pretty easy choice for me. Now with these nutballs on the "progressive" left, 2020 has become something I don't really even need to ponder as to how I'll vote.....so far. Maybe that clears some things up, and opens some new conversations?
