I saw the link to this move on a political forum and the person who posted it was asking for everyone to attack it. I guess it "triggered" some people lol.

Especially for the first movie from this director, I thought it was great. It is quite risky to put a film out with such direct political viewpoints but I think those viewpoints were very 'center' and things everyone can relate to. As far as the style of the movie, I thought it was cool how there were music videos laced throughout and the crazy 'Natural Born Killers' type of flashy editing.

A solid 9 for me for daring to do something different.

One of the most unique films I've seen. I dont know if the director meant for it go be that crazy or not, but I dug it. A lot going on but always kept coming back to the main theme. I'll probably watch it again to catch more stuff I probably missed. Definitely makes you think.

Never saw a film quite like this before. Favorite part was the writing. The lead character goes off about everything in a super deep way. Gotta watch again just to catch everything.

This movie shows what can happen when you stand up for the truth and your point of view -- the good and the bad results. You become ostracized and demonized for pointing out what's wrong with things because no one wants to hear it. They'd rather stay deluded and comfortable in their oppression. This is why evil dominates society.

Kudos to making a movie with the guts to tell the truth.

Also, just because you don't like a movie, doesn't mean everyone else who did like it is 'fake.' Lol at the ignorance of a statement like that.

If you actually watch the whole movie (which the people who are hating on it clearly didn't do), you'll see the movie gets better and better. There are parts with the 'shaky-'cam' effect but there are other parts that were shot perfectly. This was the director's intention as to make the movie feel as realistic as possible. Some people don't like that, but shouldn't take their preferences out on the message and meaning of the movie.

This movie is experimental AF and kudos to the director for mixing styles in that way. I enjoyed it. Loved the music as well, which I believe was written first and the movie then developed out of that.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing more from this director. Keep making people mad, it provokes thought.

Also, 'helpful' votes are not 'yes I agree' or 'no I don't agree' votes. Just fyi. ;)
