Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party

Watching "Hillary's America", it's blindingly evident that Dinesh D'Souza's really mad at the Obama Administration. I think "butthurt" is what the kids are calling it these days. Hard to argue against that when you open your movie by recounting your imprisonment over campaign finance transgressions; those scenes are utter self-victimization. From there, it's fifty minutes of exposing the Democratic party's sinister history of slavery and oppression. D'Souza's sick of the Republicans being called racists, I get it. He doesn't even get around to Hillary until over an hour in; and even then, it's just an excuse to get Planned Parenthood in his crosshairs. It's all over the map.

Clearly, this is not for me. Hell, I can't even recommend this to anyone because it has no redeeming value. Facts are eschewed in favor of cheap reenactments, and all he knows how to do is beat you over the head with the same message. Subtlety is not one of his virtues. This is good for a few laughs in the beginning, but it becomes a real endurance test soon after. Give the man credit for nabbing the highest-grossing documentary honor for what is thinly-veiled propaganda, but he is an awful filmmaker.

2/10

Going into this film, I knew it was going to be a one-sided conservative hit piece. Fine. Many of the claims D'Souza makes are ultimately true, though some are exaggerated more than others. However, he of course does not criticize "his side", who are just as corrupt as the Democratic Party. While a lot of it certainly is factual, he omits a lot of facts that pertain to what he is discussing. He paints the picture that Republicans are and have always been noble, do-no-wrong saints in the political world. Someone could make a similar movie about the "Secret History of the Republican Party" as well, put them together, then you have "The History of the Corruption and Corporatization of the American Political System" - a more accurate portrayal. Let's be real folks, the D's and R's have done this together, and only divide the population who ultimately have the same interests using the issues that D'Souza talks about in this film - race, abortion, guns, etc.

I am giving this movie an 8 star rating. Not because I do not support Hillary, but the sad truth of Black history in America and how African Americans have been manipulated and used for the benefit of the Clinton crooks. Please, even if you support Hillary, you must see this movie, especially if you are Black. The movie takes you through the truth about the treatment and manipulation over the last 150 years in America of Blanks. I learned the shocking truth of how the Clintons have distorted and used the African American community to further the Clintons raise to power and robbery of millions of dollars hidden in the Clinton Foundation. The thought the movie was just going to be an anti-Hillary move, but was surprised to learn the history of the Democratic Party and how the treatment of Black Americans under the Democratic Party has been complete manipulation of many including immigrates to this county using the same techniques.

A truly awful far right propaganda piece masquerading as documentary who's only objective is to engage in character assassination of Hilary Clinton and the Democratic Party. The same filmmaker tried the same thing before with the equally awful "Obama's America", which impressed nobody other than rabid right-wingers. There's little to enthuse even conservative or mainstream republican film critics and viewers, who would prefer to spend time in a theatre watching something genuinely thought provoking about a complex personality and party.

No different to the previous effort this will be applauded by the converted, which will jack up in user ratings but by nobody else.

Yikes, everyone. What is going on here? This is another hastily slapped together documentary by a filmmaker who in his previous film presented himself as knowing exactly what President Obama was subconsciously thinking/dreaming about his father, with absolutely no supporting evidence; just pure speculation and subjectivity. In several interviews when he went on his promotional tour, Dinesh D. was never able to even remotely defend the key points of his book/film, even when he had repeated opportunities to get his story straight. So now he's doing something similar: demonizing Ms. Clinton just as he tried to make everyone fear Obama's alleged ingrained anti-colonialism. Of course, you can say anything about anyone, doesn't mean it's true. Unless there is real evidence. Not conspiracy nonsense.

Look, if you're willing to give this film 10 stars, you realize your review is vacuous since your putting it on par with classic films like the Shawshank Redemption and Goodfellas... Seriously? It's stuff like this that makes me sad and wonder if this country will ever get it together...
