Hillary: The Movie

This movie barely scratches the surface of just how corrupt this woman and her husband really are. But a lot has happened since this movie was made, and none of it has done anything but expose the Clintons for the cold, calculating, con artists they really are.

This is actually a fairly good movie and well worth watching, especially now after Benghazi and the emails and her personal server and....

Scandal follows this woman like a puppy follows a child.

Just keep repeating to yourself "this movie is 5 years old....this movie is 5 years old."

Attention Liberals: Don't waste your time because you're going to hate it. You see, it exposes one of your heroic icons for the fraud she is - a ruthless, scheming, shrewd, 1%er and professional politician.

I almost passed on the opportunity to watch this. I was not impressed with what I read of those behind the film and expected a poorly constructed and poorly documented hatchet job. I was surprised. It did give a very unflattering view of Hillary, but it was very carefully organized and well presented. Seeing and hearing from people who had been close to or involved with her in some way had much better substance than anything I have read. Excellent archived footage. I find disconcerting that there have been efforts restrict the dissemination of this film, but the really scary part is that this person might have become the 44th president of the United States. Not surprising is that most of the user ratings so far have been either 10s or 1s. This sort of documentary tends to get rated based more on whether or not one likes the subject of the documentary than on the merits of the documentary itself. I think it is well enough done as a documentary that it will significantly contribute to how future generations will view Hillary Clinton.

What can be said about this film? It was not sponsored by the Hillary Clinton fan club, that's for sure. If it is to be believed, Hillary was the power behind the throne when Slick Willy served two terms, and now, the American public and the world had best beware.

There are some truly scandalous allegations, though it remains to be seen if the most damaging ones are true. There are also some embarrassing moments, including Hillary's tendency to "forget" things; she has even been condemned out of her own mouth, in particular on America's misadventures in the Middle East. The question must be asked though, even if half of this is true, how different is she from any other politician who seeks to hold high office, in this case the highest office barring none?

The most damning thing about it is not that it has contributions from many people who know her, but that many of these people are Democrats!

First, a disclaimer...I mixed this piece of tripe that resulted in the horrific "Citizen's United" ruling by the Supreme Court. This is a "mea culpa". I am sorry I ever had anything to do with this. I can only imagine how the rest of the crew felt. A gig is a gig, but I should have walked out on this one. Most of my work has been in child and adult animation (Clifford The Big Red Dog, Family Guy, and everything in between).

While the production value was high (good picture, good sound)) I can't get past the script and the commentators. It was a train wreck. I only discovered the true intention months later. The true intention was political.

Please do not watch this film. It has no redeeming value at all except as a model for a "hatchet job". I felt compelled to write this review (my only review of any work I've ever done) as an opportunity to let other film makers know...there are things you should turn down. I will never be involved in another film that assassinated the title character so mercilessly and without warrant. Please try to separate the crew from the subject matter, if that is possible.

This is about Washington, D.C., and how it has taken on a life of its own completely separate from the rest of the country. It is about assumed and demanded privilege. It is horrifying. I read something today about Hillary being the most admired woman in the country and it makes me feel sad because I know so many women who are so much better than she is. Men, too. It's a sad commentary on the state of our nation and a clear picture of why Mrs. Clinton shouldn't be in charge of it.

I've read other reviewers' opinions that the movie is biased and heavy- handed. It seems that those are politically charged statements, not rational ones. As we approach another round of presidential elections, I think every candidate should be viewed as critically.
