11/8/16

This "documentary" was entertaining and I enjoyed listen to the various viewpoints. The problem is, the "documentary" viewpoints were overwhelmingly one-sided. The movie did show a few Trump supporters but the entire movie was edited and the questions asked were against Trump. In my opinion, a "documentary" should show an unbiased viewpoint and analysis on the topics discussed. I especially did not like how they made the couple from Michigan (if i remember correctly) look bad by only showing a small portion of the conversation they were having when they mentioned Muslims. Additionally, the movie shows the racism and how the Hillary supporters talked down about the other side. The "documentary" showed the producers opinion instead of an unbiased analysis. A problem our entertainment industry has.

Didnt bother watching this one but I still noticed something wrong with it none the less lol... They overlooked a mistake involving the image of the flag on the films cover/poster. When displaying the flag vertically rather than the traditional horizontal display the stars are actually supposed to be placed in the top left corner. However, you can see in the poster/cover of the film they got it backwards. Tsk, Tsk tsk... lol.... I couldn't care less by the way, I just found it amusing that a movie about the current state of our nation still missed that mistake. Lol

For those of you who wonder why Trump won, the answer is clearly in the people the producers of this documentary chose to exemplify the candidates' supporters. Clintons supports were people on the fringe of society, be it illegal immigrants, non-conformists, or people who see themselves as powerless victims or were associated with the media or the government. Trump supporters were hard working families with children who don't expect government entitlements to make their lives successful. And not a single Midwesterner All American type of person was even bothered to be profiled. Real America fought back on 11/8/16. As one liberal said...Trump spoke the language of the people and what America wants to say to the world.

I watched this whole thing. As the day progressed, they showed dramatic, and rare, examples of people who thought they needed HRC to win. The Trump supporters were shown as stupid or self-centered. As it became obvious that Trump would win, the slant to the left tilted way further. The ending comments were actually offensive if you voted for Trump.

Waste of time- that's 105 minutes I can never get back.

A surprisingly compelling, even thrilling look at how the events of Election Day 2016 in the USA unfolded, following many people who all have distinct personalities and beliefs that become apparent to you as a viewer very quickly.

I think this was excellently constructed, and truly liked the diverse, multiple viewpoints it showed throughout. The editing and pacing was top notch, with a satisfying building of tension even when you know what the result is going to be.

Maybe could have done without the self-represented guy who ended up with quite a few votes. Also, I don't think it's fair to mark this down because there are people in it that you may find annoying- it captures and presents people who are right, left, and everywhere in between, and there may be an urge to get angry about the viewpoints that you don't agree with.

It may be fair to be frustrated by such people, but I don't think it's fair to mark the film down for that reason, because this seemed to me like a documentary that just said: "hey, here's how stuff went down on that day, in case you don't live in America, or in case you do and want to remember, for whatever reason."

Would also recommend Fahrenheit 11/9 (at least the first 1/3 or so) and Trumped (2017) for anyone else who enjoyed this.
