Great idea, awful execution

I couldn't be more sure - the idea behind the movie is excellent, and yes, we should be seeing more documentaries like that. Ones that remind the audience about the power of the US, the American Dream, and the American spirit.This one, however, is a hit-and-miss. It's disjointed, unclear, confused, and uses way too many "if we don't do this, then this will happen". Michael Douglas does a horrible job here - the tone isn't inspiring, it's condescending. While it has its moments - for example, bringing up the histories of great American entrepreneurs like Rose Blumkin is a great, poignant idea - they are drowned in the cringy one-liners ("They want to achieve success so bad their teeth hurt"") and cliche moves like the choice of the soundtrack, good, American white rock and roll bands.It does one thing very well - it stays in the middle, successfully avoiding to blame either the red or the blue side, but fails miserably to make a long-lasting point.

It's all irony now, though

This was shot before Mega-Moron, aka, the Duncenator, aka the annoying toddler with chronic IBS and awful hair, aka Le Felonzilla, started a tarriff war that pits the US against the rest of humanity and so the wheels came off of our economy and faster than you can say, "what an idiot" the US now a sh't'ole country.How good is that, eh? A soup sandwich with the soup part contributed by cholera. As ever, we are leading the world by modeling options for them!And so, this documentary is not to be missed. It shows us one of the other ways things could have gone if we hadn't shot ourselves in the face by electing a mental pigmy to the WH.The wages of stupidity is comedy.

When Everything Is Skewed

Then nothing is- it's so typical tho, to be so wanton with the casual disregard for factual information that it causes your entire worldview to be seen through the prism of politics, how could you possibly be expected to accept, much less acknowledge, that this type of nonsense is what costs elections?It's simply amazing that so many (self) proclaimed experts cannot see the forest for the trees and refuse to believe what the electorate has boldly emphasized by casting ballots. By speaking loudly. By word and deed. And perhaps most mystifying is, the same patterns are being repeated, over and over, as if saying it often enough will convince the public that they, in their unbelievably grandiose fantasies, are the virtuous ones, and it's every single data set and evidentiary proof that's wrong.It belies logic that this particular subset still labors under the belief that anyone listens to legacy media any longer; MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, AP, Reuters, Huffington, NYT, WaPo, FOX, etc., hold as much value to the average person as the post office. Which is to say only in the rarest of circumstances are they anything more than useless idiots.Proclaiming their desire to be wanted is like the aging prom queen that peaked in HS, but desperately seeks constant attention, they're all still largely unwilling to grasp the easiest of concepts that nobody trusts them. After years of trying to cloak the lies in thinly veiled half truths, they're now willfully saying the quiet part out loud, and the last straw for most that hung on was lockdowns.So carry on, continue attempting to propagandize the scant viewers remaining, the ones who don't see that they're not on the side of truth, and continue being on the 20 side of every single 80/20 issue.
