A Powerful Movie - Thomas Sowell - [page]A Powerful Movie
Thomas Sowell
Years, and sometimes decades, pass between my visits to movie theaters. But I drove 30 miles to see the movie "2016," based on Dinesh D'Souza's best-selling book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage." Where I live is so politically correct that such a movie would not even be mentioned, much less shown.
Every seat in the theater was filled, even though there had been an earlier showing that day, and more showings were scheduled for the rest of the afternoon and evening. I had to sit on a staircase in the balcony, but it was worth it.
The audience was riveted. You could barely hear a sound from them, or detect a movement, and certainly not smell popcorn. Yet the movie had no bombast, no violence, no sex and no spectacular visual effects.
The documentary itself was fascinating, as Dinesh D'Souza presented the story of Barack Obama's life and view of the world, in a very conversational sort of way, illustrating it with visits to people and places around the world that played a role in the way Obama's ideas and beliefs evolved.
It was refreshing to see how addressing adults as adults could be effective, in an age when so many parts of the media address the public as if they were children who need a constant whirlwind of sounds and movements to keep them interested.
Dinesh D'Souza's own perspective, as someone born in India who came to America and became an American, provided a special insight into the way people from the Third World often perceive or misperceive the United States and the Western world
That Third World perspective is Obama's perspective, D'Souza demonstrates in this documentary, as in his book -- and it is a perspective that is very foreign to that of most Americans, which may be why some believe that Obama was born elsewhere.

Just for fun, I'm gonna whip out the trusty abacus and do some math on this.
A quick Google search indicates the average movie ticket price is somewhere between $7.75 and $8.15. So let's play it safe and say it costs $7.75 to get into this movie.
Estimates are putting this weekend's box office at about $6 million. Let's say this thing ends up grossing $50 million, which I suspect is a pretty strong over-estimation.
That would mean that about 6.45 million people will have seen this movie. Probably safe to assume that a few will have seen it twice, so let's say 4 million to 6 million people end up seeing it, depending on how the box office turns out.
Pretty safe assumption that a vast majority of people who are going to see it are conservatives who would vote for a medium-sized household appliance over Obama.
In 2010, 90 million people voted, and since virtually everyone seeing this were voting for Romney anyway, I can conclude that the only value of this movie is in lining the pockets of the guy who produced it.

Oh puhleeze let me know what you think about it. If we can't get it in Winnipeg (2 hours north without a blizzard), sheesh, we'll have to drive to Fargo I guess.
That's an overnighter for us. I'd appreciate you telling me if it's worth our drive.

You are a sick puppy! Just to clue you in a bit, homosexuality is not contagious. Grow fuckin' up! ...and study English language.I bet any theatre showing it that's near a Chick-Fil-A will do well.
At least in those theaters you won't have to worry about sitting next to no homos....

"A quick Google search indicates the average movie ticket price is somewhere between $7.75 and $8.15".
Then spend it and prove yourself wrong, not about it being profitable but about it not having any redeeming value.

Not a reason in the world to waste money seeing a smear job like this. It'll be on YouTube free of charge soon enough. Hilarious is the fact that they're milking you Romney "nut lickers" for all your worth before that.

Clearly conservatives and republicans are unaware of the fact that such efforts to portray the president as some sort of a communist or anti-American radical succeeds in only making the right look ignorant and ridiculous.Its a group that includes communist Frank Marshall Davis; former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers; academic Edward Said, whose views are described as anti-Zionist; liberal Harvard professor Roberto Unger; and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, a proponent of so-called black liberation theology.
Critics say it's nothing but an infomercial.
If that's your thing, you'll love it.

In 2016, Obama is fear itself
By Michael OSullivan
Friday, August 24, 2012
Im not trying to bash Obama in a crude way, Dinesh DSouza says in a TV news clip featured in the conservative writer and commentators new documentary 2016: Obamas America. Its a comment recycled from one of DSouzas many media appearances in defense of his well-known, earlier attacks on the president, both in a controversial 2010 Forbes magazine cover story and two subsequent books, on which this film is based.
One thing can be said for 2016. Its anything but crude. The best infomercials rarely are.
