Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016)
History is Happening Now
I like a good tale of how people endure hardship and triumph in the end. D'Souza's criminal conviction and time in prison are a side narrative throughout the film. I have seen a number of D'Souza's works and this is by far the best. It's high time that the self satisfied Democratic party with their 'moral high ground' face the facts of their origins ~ thinly veiled and persistent unto this day. The critics hate this film....gee, could they be Democrats? The only critic I care about it me. I think it's the only one anyone should care about ~ their own opinion. Professional reviews can be entertaining but art should stand on its own without any 'priesthood' to explain it for us. This is a masterwork of Art & History which should not be missed. Much knee jerk bigotry toward the South, Republicans, et. al. so prevalent in American culture of the North in particular is addressed and placed into the bright light of documented historical fact. Many surprises and good flow to the narrative.

Best Film of the Decade, Bar None
I am scared of the thought that I could have missed experiencing this film. I stumbled on it as a recommendation on my Roku via Netflix.
Where do I begin...Gone With the Wind meets Chariots of Fire with an overlay of shifting loyalties which purify and forge the pure gold humanity of the spirit through changing tides of war a la Outlaw Josie Wales.
I've heard talk of Oscars...yes...give all of them to this film and everyone involved. This is the most astonishing portrayal of actual battle that I have seen in any film. Anyone who thinks war is something cute to watch for entertainment on CNN is going to think again. Anyone with a vague idea of what soldiers and civilians went through in WWll is going to have a far deeper appreciation for what war really means and has meant.
Taking the high road under the most torturous conditions possible to human endurance is polished, burnished and weighed in the balance of the validity of the human soul where it tips the scale forever into cinematic mastery.
In this sweeping epic featuring little known as well as better known history (at least to a contemporary Western audience), some helpful historical background might be that the Japanese invaded and ruled Korea preceding WWll, ethnically Korean soldiers, hence served in the Japanese Imperial Army. That's all you need to get started.
Prepare to be riveted....
