I saw a premier of "2000 Mules" on 5/2 with a dozen people in my local patriot posse. Despite D'Souza having great intentions, the man is simply a lousy film-maker. I've seen all his movies and none of them have impressed me. "2000 Mules" is no different, despite hoping for a better movie this time around since it was such compelling subject matter.
Sadly, I give this film an "EPIC fail" rating. And at $20 per ticket, nobody on earth is going to see it besides die-hard Trump supporters who already know that the 2020 election was stolen. The vast majority of this film is people sitting around talking to one another - not showing the DATA and EVIDENCE (which was SUPPOSED to be the entire point of the movie).
There's precious little evidence shown in the whole movie beyond what's already revealed in the teaser trailers. Some of the ballot-stuffer mule video footage even looked like 're-enactments' because of the numerous camera angles and edits - instead of legit footage (and it's not even spelled out that it's a re-enactment - which hurts the credibility of the real footage shown). Very, very disappointed - although not at all surprised.
After the movie, our dozen patriots hung out in the lobby and discussed the movie. All of us were in complete agreement that this movie is a colossal missed opportunity. And even worse, with so much hype about it, expectations are likely even higher - and it doesn't deliver. At all. IMO, save your money.
Well I thought it was a documentary and not movie...so why judge it as a movie. It is assumed that the documentary is to enlighten the viewer to the mechanics of the steal...does it do that? I don't know I've yet to see it. If 2000Mules achieves the goal of informing how the steal happened then that is all it was supposed to do. Some Documentary's are "drier" then others providing the facts without the "flash". The people talking here are there to be listened to which I look forward hearing them out. Does it lack the jump cutting MTV era production standards and make it boring for you visually? As for the multiple angles you got to consider that the election was a sting and problems were expected and the drop boxes were turned into a trap. I understand that one drop in Yuma Az had six different cameras on it, I can not speak to the other drop boxes but I have known about the problems with Yuma drop box for some time.
As to the claim he's was a lousy film maker who knows but as a documentarian his work has lead to Obama railroading him for a 5yr prison sentence.
I guess if your going to call 2000Mules and any other work Dinesh has done a bad movie then so be it...but it's documentary and if it educates more then it entertains then the film achieves it's goal.
I did it have to be entertaining? Did the fact that you weren't entertained cloud your judgement? I suppose I'll have to watch it. But I never had an expectation to be entertained like some I guess.
It’s going to show the Democrats the flaws they need to patch up for this next election.
Good thing so many states won't be using a drop boxes next election there is nothing to prefect if they aren't used at all. So they'll know what did wrong but they won't be able to fix it in 23 states alone and more going forward so there is that. 😁
