[LA RAM FAN]

Then what happened? Mikhail Gorbachev was a better ruler of Russia than Vladimir Putin.

the sheep in America refuse to accept facts it was Gorby who was instrumental in that in it would have happened no matter who was president NO MATTER HOW MUCH DOCUMENTATION YOU GIVE THEM THEY WONT LOOK AT IT.

REFUSE TO BOTHER TRYING TO ENGAGE WITH THE BRAINWASHED.

reagan had a lot of negatives to....

OK. But my question was, which president in your lifetime has had greater accomplishments?

 

[Hector12]

WHich president in your lifetime has greater accomplishment?

Bill Clinton.

Under Clinton there was low inflation, low unemployment, and he briefly brought down the national debt.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Does it discuss his relationships with fascist dictators ?

EVERY president from Reagan all the way up to Obama was cozy with them,all traiters to Americans.

 

[Harry Dresden]

OK. But my question was, which president in your lifetime has had greater accomplishments?

i think gerald ford had a hole in one once...

Reagan's tax cuts for the rich nearly tripled the national debt from $908 billion in 1980 to $2,602 billion in 1988.

U.S. National Debt by Year

The U.S. national debt grew to a record $34 trillion by the end of 2023. It was just $16 billion in 1930.

Most Americans did not benefit from those tax cuts for the rich.

This sort of slipped in under my radar and it might have done the same for you.
Ronald Reagan is considered by many as one of our best Presidents and this biopic looks to do a fairly good job of portraying the man who played a major role shaping our world today.
I'm not certain when, which showing I'm going to at the Barkley theaters, but the extra warm weather gives added incentive to an afternoon in AC, catching what looks to be an enjoyable and informative movie.
Some links to the trailer and reviews, etc. Note that while the critics aren't rating this well, to be expected by their predictable political leanings, the audience reviews are in the 4-5 star range mostly.

While Reagan the movie undoubtedly admires Reagan the man, its cloying and glossy rendering of history flattens the 40th U.S. President into caricature.

Synopsis

From dusty small-town roots, to the glitter of Hollywood, and then on to commanding the world stage, REAGAN is a cinematic journey of overcoming the odds. Told through the voice of Viktor Petrovich, a former KGB agent whose life becomes inextricably linked with Ronald Reagan's when Reagan first caught the Soviets' attention as an actor in Hollywood, this film offers a perspective as unique as it is captivating. Dennis Quaid brings to life a story that transcends the boundaries of a traditional biopic, offering a profound exploration of the enduring impact of the power of one man who overcame the odds, sustained by the love of a woman who supported him in his journey.

Given it's from the LA Times, predictable Leftist twist, but worth a read to see what sensitive issues the move touchs from the other side of the political divide.
Review: A worshipful biopic of the 40th president, 'Reagan' is historical hooey — and a slog too

Review: A worshipful biopic of the 40th president, 'Reagan' is historical hooey — and a slog too There’s political idolatry, and then there’s the canonization in movie's clothing that is Sean McNamara’s faith-tinged bio-epic “Reagan,” starring Dennis Quaid as the 40th president. www.latimes.com

Anyway, I've most often enjoyed the films the critics don't, but then don't have their slanted view of reality.

So, submitted for your consideration and I'd encourage share this opportunity with you friends and contacts list. It appears to have a short timeline/limited engagement at the theaters.

I'll likely go tomorrow to see it. Back with a personal view afterwards.

Saw the movie this past Sunday. Not too bad, it did skip a couple of notable events though, Reagan was a candidate for President in 1968 for about 6 weeks and was not far from derailing Nixon on the first ballot. The other was Reagan's debate against Robert Kennedy at Oxford in 1967. The movie did not go into either event.

Reagan got taxes cut for all taxpaying Americans. Think of it as you do when Democrats open the border to non citizens.

I am in favor of steep tax increases for the rich. I am also opposed to open borders. I hate criminals, and I want them to suffer.

 

[Meathead]

Does it discuss his relationships with fascist dictators ?

Are you still pissed off because he and Thatcher tore down the wall and communism?

 

[Rawley]

Bill Clinton.

Under Clinton there was low inflation, low unemployment, and he briefly brought down the national debt.

LOL Trump had lower inflation and lower unemployment. So you're voting for him. right?

 

[Rawley]

Then what happened?

End of the cold war. Threat of nuclear war all but gone. Until Obama and Biden/Harris began their footsie with Iran.

Mikhail Gorbachev was a better ruler of Russia than Vladimir Putin.

No question.

 

[Rawley]

Reagan convinced Republicans that deficits do no matter as long as they are the result of tax cuts for the rich.

Nope

 

[marvin martian]

Does it discuss his relationships with fascist dictators ?

Watch it and let us know, you one-legged, pea-brained cocksucker.

 

[TNHarley]

Reagan killed conservatism. Does the movie cover that?

 

[Robert W]

I am in favor of steep tax increases for the rich. I am also opposed to open borders. I hate criminals, and I want them to suffer.

Excellent way to cause massive unemployment

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

He sure got Americans out of the malaise Carter said we had.

The other was Reagan's debate against Robert Kennedy at Oxford in 1967. The movie did not go into either event.

With two hours and 15 minutes length, could only go into so much detail coverage of an 80+ year lifespan.
The Left have generated enough negative media around Reagan that there was no need to regurgitate this trash in a movie taking a different and more positive focus.

What we see in this thread is a rehash of the long running debate between Left and Right and the opposing values and priorities.

The wife and I also saw the movie yesterday and I think it did an excellent job of covering the positives within a limited time frame. It showed he wasn't the shallow shell that the loony Left likes to portray him as.

Quaid did an excellent job of portraying him.
