Review of Death of a President (2006) by James J — 08 Sep 2011

I personally don't understand why ppl don't like this movie, short of their own stupidity. (That goes for the vast majority of those ppl/users that I have seen making comments about this film on this site and all others.) Are they so embracing of their politically correct conservatism that they just shed all remaining phallic remembrances, that they & so many of them have been hiding for so long, of that political joke and finally unabashedly accept their true cause & purpose in life...

Probably not; stupid ppl are the biggest hypocrites of all! (That political joke is the one where conservatives, ... political, social, religious, & others, and any combination of them including all of them, fake being supporters of political correctness! Conservatives SUPPORT political correctness much more so than those of any other political ideology, including liberals!).

I found this to be an interesting, realistically told, documentary-style film, with believable dramatizations of what such a tragedy would look like if it unfolded. All the actors who were interviewed as former employees, associates, aides, etc., in the Bush Administration expressed a decidedly earnest amount of grief and despair about the assassination, wishing that they somehow could have done something more to prevent it, their attempts to keep such a tragedy from happening in the first place and to do something to keep it from becoming a full-on reality once the reality had clearly started to unfold.

As critic Rick Groen states on the Flixster webpage for this film, "Death of a President is a masterly piece of documentary chicanery that kills George W. Bush without once pandering to his legions of ill-wishers." This film does not give the Bush-haters what they, presumably and/or supposedly, want most of all and in being and in expressing that kind of honest integrity this film shows itself as the masterpiece that it is. Many Bush-lovers have expressed such disgust at this movie as to try to appeal to the opposite end of the spectrum, by saying ..."What are they going to do now, an Obama assassination movie?!!".

Well, if they did it without giving the Obama-haters what they want most of all, if they did exactly that with the exact same amount of grief, tragedy, despair, desperation, sadness and remorse, perhaps! But, is there a market for that?? Certainly Obama is hated by a certain sect of American society, and perhaps even other ppl out there in the world but, ...it is the American public that such a movie would be made, especially here in the US, for! And the ppl that hate Obama don't watch films like most ppl do; they are to busy screaming about conspiracy theory this & conspiracy theory that...

So, perhaps it should be made but, since there is obviously virtually no market for it then it would only serve as a piece of art; a piece of art for arts sake. I can't think of anything, honestly, that has ever been made for that reason & that reason alone! ...which means that said movie will probably not be made and I suppose the Bush-lovers just love that idea bc, now they can adequately play the victim with this issue, too! Just as they have done to everything else that they have been crybaby trolls about, hmm.... that seems fair!
