Gerry O @chefman Aug 10 It was hard to follow, at times it seemed like there was no organization to the film. It jumped all,over the place without explaining what was going on. It was interesting but I would not watch it again See more Daniel B @observor 02/11/2025 I don't know, watching some Texas kids act just as dumb as the adults, any one who finds politics interesting in the first place should have their head examined. See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 07/08/2023 Fascinating to see how reductively basic the political views of young Americans look to be, even going forward. Really depressing how loud mouth, jock culture isn't just a minority element. It is the defining essence of American youth culture which seems to feed into this civic sponsored mentality of winning at all costs. It's promoted by the respect for officials and government and American's supine deference to the myths of their allegedly unique democratic and liberal credentials. Never mind that those credentials can't hold up to proper scrutiny or comparison with other liberal democracies. It's a country that will remain politically divided and intransigent. The only individual who comes out of the film with any credit is Stephen and he seemed the only remotely sane and authentic person in amongst a field of psychos and morons. Sorry America, but I would have hoped for more from your youngest generations. Now I better understand that your reverence for the flag, officials, the army, constitution and liberal myths of the US, is all part of a rigid establishment indoctrination which hems creative and thoughtful discourse into the straightjacket of perpetuation with the lies that you're happy to swallow. What a sad way to use your freedom of speech and expression.

See more 06/10/2022 Heartwarming, intense and a definitely a film worth watching. See more 08/22/2021 A great illustration of how quickly and why mob mentality spreads. Chilling how some of those scenes are reminiscent of what happened in Charlottesville. See more Read all reviews
