Dreams from My Real Father (2012)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good movie but grossly overrated

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

***Spoilers Had Obama been a Republican, he'd have been swallowed in the primary process and spit out for eternity. His blatant lies about non-association with radical communists and/or criminals Davis, Ayers, Dohrn, Rev Wright, and Rezko would have been screamed from the highest mountains and echoed forever. The proof of these lies are so apparent for anyone who cares to look, but this film makes it easy for anyone who cares to know the truth.Also, anyone who has remotely studied Alinsky or just read Cliff's Notes for Rules for Radicals can see that Obama has check-boxed every aspect of attempting to turn our capitalist, democratic republic into a socialist cesspool; also well highlighted in this film. The damage to our country's businesses, citizens, and courts have been in many ways irreparably damaged by this conman who successfully sold lie after lie to the American people in a gross attempt to destroy our civil society through wealth redistribution, class warfare, race warfare, mass gov't regulation, and non-stop chaos. It's a shame this film has to show people in hindsight what could've easily been averted if our society hadn't been so ripe to seek easy answers from a socialist demagogue.

It starts with: "Director's Note: This film is based on actual events, interviews, and archives, as well as recreations of probable events, using reasoned logic, and approximated conversations to provide a cohesive understanding of Obama's history. Is this the story Barack Obama should have told, revealing his true political foundations and his agenda for fundamentally transforming America? (signed) Joel Gilbert" The terms "...probable events, using reasoned logic, and approximated conversations..." are the real meat of this piece of junk. Communism has proved to be a failed experiment. It's hard to believe that Gilbert truly thinks Obama would model his administration on those ideals. He's like a little gossiping drama queen, who wanted to do as much damage as he could to Obama. Hell, it isn't even well done. And...to be fair, maybe Michael Moore should take a cue from those director notes.

Just when you think the right-wing can't sink any deeper into the gutter, they surprise you. This "documentary" will take its place in history alongside every pseudo-scientific film Joseph Goebbels and the Nazis created to "prove" Jews were a sub-human species. The "plot" of "Dreams From My Real Father" is not worth discussing because it lacks any facts whatsoever. It is an election prompted piece of character assassination.The good news is that when screened to un-decided voters at various focus group gatherings in the swing states, the response was universal revulsion. The vast majority of Americans are decent people and were justifiably repelled by the blatant lies, racism and sexism that is on display here.It is interesting that Amazon and Netflix both categorize this film in the same genre as Dinesh D'Souza's laughable "2016" and docs about the mentally unbalanced Ayn Rand whose philosophy of greed and selfishness is a favorite of the Tea Party movement. If they included documentaries denying the Holocaust, it would be complete.

Anyone who really watches this movie based on the summary shown on IMDb must be seriously impaired or just blind. I mean just because you don't see eye to eye with his policy doesn't mean that you get the right to name him anything you want. I mean this goes back to the middle ages when we went witch hunting. So he is accused of not being American, then he releases his birth certificate. You still aren't satisfied and search for even more bogus ideas to destroy his presidency. Well I can sort of understand it, because I mean when you don't have an actual candidates in your party that can match up or let alone have a real vision for America. I mean I wouldn't do these kinds of things, like fabricate bogus movies that make unsubstantiated claims. How much longer will the American public be blindsided by biases and bitter opposition. I mean even in other parts of the world where opposing parties don't see eye to eye they still get things done. When will you guys wake up and start seeing whats actually going on. You care more about what side the person is standing than actually getting policy changed or improvements made, that America dearly needs.Seriously, if things continue going down this path and you don't find a way to compromise and agree on certain things, all these dystopian films and TV shows that are getting so popular, will become reality. Why was Obama elected the first time, if you don't want change?
