Swing State (2017)
Shameful unintelligent liberal blindness
We watched this on inauguration weekend looking for some relief from the madness and instead were left dumbfounded. The movie Swing State is a very very very bad movie. The writing, including the dialogue and the overall story are among the worst I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing. The writer of this film needs to never make a movie again. The story is ridiculous, stupid, so low level and unintelligent. It is shocking that this crass, ridiculous film that stinks of liberal privilege has any audience at all. It would be great if the writer of this film understood people at all. This movie attempts to satirize the conservative right, but instead is embarrassingly cursory and idiotic in its treatment of American politics. The director of this movie made the terrible writing even worse by making the characters behave like idiots. The acting is terrible! This is a dumb film and the dialogue is so stupid that the actors look just plain stupid fumbling through this silly script. The editing is a disaster. Was this even edited? The soundtrack, well, my ears bled.The faux soulful voice, the childish pop sound and the lyrics were among the worst in a film ever. I hope this film dies soon. It makes liberals look really ignorant and perhaps that is the truth. You have contributed to the alienation of many people in this country by making this stupid movie.
Hidden Figures (2016)
Great film
This is such an important story. It's difficult to separate the quality of the film from the necessity that this story was told, especially in this political climate. Yes, this was a glossy Hollywood movie. That being said, the characters were well developed, the acting superb and the direction really spectacular. I know some people loved the music. I don't understand creating new music for a period in history that already has great music. Otherwise, the story is wonderful and all of the women in the film were excellent. The male characters also did a very good job, but were definitely outshone by the strength of the women. I hope many people in the country continue to celebrate these women.
