American Selfie: One Nation Shoots Itself

Don't bother, movie done by the daughter of a fall politician tells you everything you need to know.

She clearly had no idea where she was going with this doc. Perhaps it did start off about 'selfies'? Who knows, but it just quickly spirals out of control into a bunch of garbage about the inequality between the good 'ol privileged white-skinned people and 'all the rest'. Judging from this little romp, I think Pelosi probably suffers from tremendous white guilt and that venturing off into the 'streets' is her way of trying to alleviate her guilt by mingling with the commoners, and at one point, she very carelessly shows her true colors when she runs into a homeless white-skinned, drug-addicted man in Las Vegas and quips "Why are you taking drugs? You're a WHITE MAN... the world is set up for you". That is of course one of the most offensive things a person could possibly say to a homeless white man, as though being born a white male is like some kind of meal ticket to a wonderful life! But it just shows how incredibly out of touch she is with reality that she could even think such a thing. She sounds like some kind of pampered house cat that's never even been out in the real world and clearly doesn't have a CLUE what things are like for many white-skinned people, and that massive mistake is now frozen in time for all to see, smack-dab in the middle of this lackluster video, so she's completely sealed her own fate.

I really thought this was going to be about 'selfies', which really would have made an interesting documentary given their suspicious proliferation the world over, but instead, it really just comes off as looking like something shot by a naive teenage girl who took a film course at a local community college.

To be honest, this is a doc by Alexandra Pelosi (yes, Nancy Pelosi's daughter) and I have seen her docs before, and they not that bad or one-sided, most of the time. She really does start by showing the real divide of people and how the majority of them who are comfortable living in their own personal bubble opposed to the ones who protest their political views. She then dives into the issue of Trump's rhetoric, which, yes, it is divisive but the emotional reactions towards it fuel more divisiveness as well. I like that she showed Trump supporters chanting with their signs and then when the anti-Trumpers showed up they were the ones who got aggravated and physical. She actually touched on immigration, consumerism, classism issues and racial issues, and guess what, 45 to 50 mins of this doc is NOT about Trump. She just talking and asking people questions, at the 46 min mark, she was actually talking to a well known black millitant and I don't think she knew it (he doesn't like democrats). She really does show the divided country that has always been there BEFORE Trump. Also I liked she talked to people who didn't take COVID-19 seriously and didn't think much of it in the beginning, again it wasn't about Trump. THEN Trump (somewhat) comes back into the picture at the 1 hr mark, mainly because of his supporters calling COVID as the common flu and protest lockdowns. She shows the effects of the pandemic. Again showing the divide of the people and their individual beliefs, and how they are misinformed of each other. Then there were the protests, enough said. At 1hr 8min mark, now Trump supporters enter the picture versus BLM protesters. She then goes back to the effects of the pandemic and how people feel in general about it all. Ends with people against people. I did not have a much emotional reaction to none of it, cause am black, people crying, fearing for their life is nothing to me, i feel it everyday and 8 presidents have done and will do nothing about it. Changes must be locally, wish more people knew that. All in all, this doc was OK.

It seems that other reviewers are only interested in attacking the director's last name! You should watch the film BEFORE passing judgment. This documentary clearly shows where we are as a country right now. I strongly recommend it to everyone who cares about the future of America.

Nancy Pelosi has a daughter who. during an election year, releases a movie about the race divide in America. If you read the reviews they agree that it is the view of a liberal, blaming Trump. Weird how BLM was quiet until a month before primaries this year when George Floyd, an 8 time felon was arrested committing another felony while on probation from a violent felony. He died while fighting cops and refusing to get in cop car, high on fentanyl and meth and too drunk to stand. Autopsy shows he died of a stroke. The media made him a saint and rallying call for America playing the story 24/7 for most of 2020. Staged BLM/ANTIFA riots across the USA (with Democrats bailing out those arrested) were blamed on Trump?! Historical Status that have stood for 300 years (through Obama's presidency) were defaced and torn down to include Lincoln, Grant and Lee (who was vocal against slavery). Democratic cities on fire still today, after the election, but blame Trump?! Insanity of the left in full display here. Silly commercial for Biden. Didn't she well.
