Review of 2016: Obama's America (2012) by Headcrusher — 25 Aug 2012

As an aspiring documentary filmmaker I have seen lots of docs over the last 8 years and this one, like lots of others, takes too long to get to the point - Dinesh D'Souza gave me way more info than I needed to know about both Obama's past and his - of course because this was based on a book of his, I'm sure from his perspective he was leaving a lot out to condense it all into a 1.

5 hour film. There were parts where I was bored and parts where I had to close my eyes to pay attention to what was being said due to the trendy film techniques (when someone is talking do I really need to see shots of their elbow?).

That being said as the film finally reaches its conclusions and finally focuses in on its premise - it becomes clear why Obama does not deserve a second term - and maybe shouldn't have had a first. It sad because I did put my hope in him, that he would bring change.

I voted for him. I hope that before the election they will make the last 1/2 hour freely available through the web because there are facts here that people should consider. If half of what this film purports is true, it becomes clear why when I look back at the past 4 years I can't see a single thing that has improved in this country.
