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.

If you are looking for a neutral political documentary then this isn't it. This movie is a no-holds-barred attack on the Democrat party and Hillary Clinton through dramatization.

It's titled Hillary's America but that title is a little misleading. The movie focuses more on the Democratic party than it does on Hillary Clinton. It only starts delving specifically into Hillary in the last 35 minutes of the movie.

This movie deals in absolutes. The Democrats are cast as absolute villains and the Republicans are portrayed as absolute angels. The movie tells us the Democratic party started off consisting mostly of slave owners but became con-artists and scammers after slavery ended to enslave people again through other means.

The actor who played Lyndon B. Johnson was spot on. Also, the actress who portrayed young Hillary looked very much like her.

I'm not going to vote for Hillary, the mediocre score i'm giving the movie just reflects how i thought of the movie in general. The reenactments and the dramatics were over the top. I would have been happy if it was just a straight documentary.

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.

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.
