The Worst Film Ever
... View MoreSome things I liked some I did not.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreA terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
... View MoreIf you are watching this thinking this may as the title claims, an analysis of why Donald Trump pulled off an incredible electoral upset, be prepared for a major disappointment. It's more about how these 3 arrogant, snide and condescending left wing "journalists" (Heilemann, Halperin & McKinnon) stroll through the media tents with access to behind the scenes areas of both campaign headquarters with an astonishing air of self-importance. I never watched the SHO series, "The Circus" and from watching this documentary, I didn't miss much. This is very heavily edited and slanted to make Trump supporters all look a bunch of reactionary escapees from a looney bin, plus glossing over the many, many faults of Hillary Clinton who may be as bad of a candidate that any party has ever nominated. Never voted for Bill or Obama, but I will admit that they were both excellent campaigners, especially WJC who was a very charismatic politician.If you are a Trump supporter, DVR it and fast forward to the final 15 minutes of election night. It's fun again to see the so-called expert pundits with excrement all over their faces. Plus their analysis of what occurred was spot wrong. They still didn't get what happened, ignoring the huge losses suffered by the Dems in all other elections across the country, except for the left coast and northeast. I guess from the left's POV the closing music, some sort of funeral dirge, was completely appropriate.
... View MoreThe beginning of the movie when the focus was on the Republican primaries came across as relatively unbiased, but the coverage of the race after the conventions became completely unhinged. The blatant pro-Clinton bias of Halperin was bad enough but Heileman was absolutely insufferable.Furthermore, most of the "news" clips were from CNN and MSNBC, two channels that don't practice responsible journalism. And like the MSM coverage during the campaign, little or no attention was paid to the many Clinton scandals or her poorly run campaign- just a brief mention of those leaked emails. And the ending was pitiful - extensive coverage inside the Javits Center where Clinton was to have given a victory speech - the 3 "pundits" (especially Heileman) reacting with Snowflake-like disbelief at the outcome. I thought Heileman was going to start sobbing at any moment. Plus, attendees were filmed watching the developing election results on monitors tuned to the Clinton News Network. It's no wonder they were "stunned". At the ending, we were supposed to feel sad and depressed (check out the melancholy ending theme music) about Trump's victory which is about what I expected from a channel like Showtime. It has some good moments, especially from early in the campaign, but after the conventions, the movie descends into blatant Democratic bias. If you choose to watch this, you'll be thinking at the end, "Well, there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back." Unless, of course, you are interested in learning more about how out of touch liberals are these days.
... View MoreDemocrats have been losing elections for several years, other than Obama's 2 terms.The movie itself is another example of why the democrats lost. Every writer and pundit lost sight of their objectivity and job. They forgot the facts and were guided by their own emotions. And their emotions are now showing as a mental disorder. The country for decades has been going from party to party and back again seeking truth in leaders to no avail. Obama said what he thought people needed to hear, but then the people found he consistently lied and did just the opposite! His socialist ideology was dragging down the country. Any pundit should have known the people have been, and would have a tendency to switch to the republicans. There had been no major increase in the economy or any other reason to continue with the democrats. Especially since they had a severely flawed candidate in Clinton.The leaders and MSM had shown they were lairs and could not be trusted!To sum it up. Every thing in this film was slanted from the very beginning for Clinton. The end shows this in great detail when the people in the film are all disappointed at the end. Not one of the characters in the film showed any joy when Trump won.At the end the male TV pundit summed up why they missed what had happened. He said Trump had a plane and a hat. Missing entirely what Trump had been saying and giving promises to the people!
... View MoreI've watched "the circus - the greatest etc..." from day one.It ended before election day with the presenters effectively saying they'd eat their hats if trump got elected.what an anti-climax.Subsequently Heilemann and Halperin and their show "with all due respect" were dropped by bloomberg during a changing of the guard.I was gutted ... where was the follow up? Where were they eating their hats (figuratively)? I'm half way through this 'finale' because I'm savouring watching the second half.I only wish the brits had done a similar show on brexit - they probably will in time.My only criticism is that there is too much cursing by Heilemann which he must think is either cool or acceptable.
