This was an emotional journey for me. I was grinning ear to ear and pretty choked up on occasions of this movie. Shows how important the role of the POTUS is. You truly feel the human emotion and connections. Thanks Pete for this and showing us the internals of the fully functioning administration.
I know some will see this as a way to diminish Trump. If it does, it's because of the successful portrayal of Barack Obama with all the qualities that make for an admirable human being. Need I say more. Don't forget that this man did the same job for Ronald Regan. This should be watched for the brilliant photos that captured the essence of the moment. It, for me, brought back memories of the ugliness of Sandy Hook and the killings in the Baptist church. It was very well done.
As a borderline atheist my reaction to this wonderful film shocks even me: I realize - in retrospect - that for eight too brief years we were a blessed nation.
A picture is truly worth a thousand words. I cried for most of it, watching history unfold one frame at a time. The kindness, empathy and concern for others, the hope for a better future, sharing others pain during their toughest times in their lives was incredibly touching. A great reminder that those we vote into office can single handedly make or break a nation's future.
This documentary takes you in an intimate journey of the 8 years of Obama's presidency, not from a heavily political point of view but more about the human emotions that a true leader requires. Souza soon realized how different the current President reacts to similar situations and he becomes more vocal and automatically an Instagram sensation. A must watch documentary to deeply understand what it really takes to fill the job of President of USA and surprisingly it doesn't have to do with politics or tactics but kindness and empathy.
