Influencer (2022)
(Mostly) Watchable Little Movie
Overall it's pretty decent, and as someone who has exhausted most decent/eats gable horror movies, it's often a pleasant surprise to come across one anymore. Nothing innovative or pvery creative. It's simple and effect, and it works.
My only major complaint is the sound. For a movie that seemed otherwise produced very professionally, I often struggled to understand what the actors were saying, and had to watch it with subtitles (which I always do use subtitles, but it wouldn't have been watchable without them). Right in the beginning of the movie you have the main character narrating over music, but the music is at an equal, or possibly even greater, volume, than the actress's voice. To my surprise, the actors' speaking volume was just way too low for the entire movie. I've never encountered this in a movie before. Huge negative that really took me out of being immersed in the story. I turned up the volume to hear the actors and then the next scene would start with blaring music and then actually having narration at a decent/appropriate volume and it was like I was being screamed at, and would have to turn the volume back down. Extremely, extremely annoying, whoever did the sound mixing just bungled it really badly.
Death of a Nation (2018)
Facts Matter
Really, nothing in this movie has even an iota of a factual basis. No historian would support its assertions, nor any political scientists. This is a smear-job done by a known and admitted convicted felon praising the man who pardoned him, to further their extreme far-right wing worldview. A movie that purports that a party that enacted civil rights laws nationwide and is the only party that still supports those laws today is comparable to one that committed ethnic genocide is plainly visibly factually inaccurate. This movie is an exercise in extreme propaganda that, before Trump, never would've been accepted by theaters with its extreme, anti-fact agenda.
This is a "documentary" to brainwash the already brainwashed.
