The Undefeated (2011)

That was an excellent one.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This movie exemplifies amateurish film-making and "The Paranoid Style in American Politics." I had some interest in the nonsense voiced by Mark Levin, the late Andrew Breitbart, and other gabbers, so the film held my interest until its merciful if too long delayed end. Because former Governor Palin is almost a Rorschach inkblot into which factually challenged testifiers project their fantasies and nightmares, I did not wonder that "the witnesses" were unmoored to such an extent from the reality-based community. Still, the Palin supporters who can read would profit from perusing "The Lies of Sarah Palin" or similar studies of Plain's vacuous mendacity. "Game Change" was a far better film and far superior perspective on Senator John McCain's cynical recklessness in nominating Governor Palin. "Game Change" the book is even more frightening.I awarded three stars. I have seen worse films.

If Sarah Palin is such a joke, then why are so many people so afraid that they have to flood this page with negative reviews? What are you afraid of? I guess people that don't think for themselves will do anything to cling to their beliefs, especially when they know those beliefs are severely flawed. When people like Sarah Palin come along and expose those flaws, the brainwashed masses will resort to anything so they can continue living in a fantasy world. At this point those against Sarah Palin may be saying that they do think for themselves. However, I'll pose to you what I pose to every blank minded ideologue that I meet on the street. You're not thinking for yourself, you're letting media created public opinion think for you. If not, how can you explain the vitriol you feel and publicly display for Sarah Palin? What did this woman do to create your hatred for her? I can guarantee that the answers you present to this question are based on the fictional bias created by the media (like she wants to abolish a woman's right to choose - she never said that, or she said she can see Russia from her house - she never said that either). It stands to reason that if you are basing your opinion on falsehoods then your option is therefore false and based on someone else setting a bias in your mind (thinking for you). If this wasn't the case then you wouldn't be here. Instead you would be at the Bill Maher page where you can blog with like minded sheeple and let the people that appreciate this type of documentary discuss it based on its merits rather than your selective ignorance.

I am a political moderate and don't agree with Sarah Palin on such things as religion, evolution, abortion and gay rights. However, as the movie shows she is a remarkable fine woman who has done wonderful things in Alaska by fighting corruption and fighting the oil companies so that Alaska could get its fair share of oil money.The movie starts by showing the unrestrained and even insane hatred some liberals, leftists and show biz people have for her: about 5 minutes or more of prominent people in the media doing obscenity laden rants of hatred looking like they want to murder Sarah Palin on the spot. That was scary to watch.The rest of the movie is all pro Palin, but it is true information. Some of the parts have over-dramatic symbolic things going on. Also, it does show some of the sneering media attacks on her to falsely portray her as dumb. The hatred against her has not slowed down even as one can see in many of the reviews here. The Obama supporters have put in hateful reviews and dumped here a mass of scores of "one." It is very doubtful that even a modest portion of them actually watched the movie.They have this rabid insane hatred of Sarah Palin because she is a threat to Obama staying in the White House and other liberal politicians staying in power. Also, the truth makes people furious. To counter the truth they tell lies about Sarah Palin. They don't want any open minded people seeing this movie. Yes, even though the movie is all pro Palin it is good because it gives her real life story. I give it a 9 score.

"Moments that surged into a wave of momentum, republican party leaders didn't see it coming." A documentary covering Sarah Palin's rise from Mom to Mayor to VP candidate and beyond. Looking at all the reviews for this, including IMDb, Amazon & Rotten Tomatoes I noticed that they were all politically biased. Palin lovers gave it high grades,haters gave it low. I'm going to try and do the first non-politically based one. The movie begins with Palin talking about Alaska in the late 90's and the Valdez oil spill. Then the interviews begin. The entire time I watched this I couldn't help but compare it to a Michael Moore movie (who I do not like at all). The comparisons are based on the entire movie is 100% one sided. All the interviews are with former staff workers of hers. I'm not saying that you should only interview people against her or not put in people to defend her, but one guy continuously compares her to Reagan while another compares her to a marine. Some of these are a little over the top. I can go either way with Palin, but I feel that she went from a politician who cared about the people and her state to a celebrity. From a governor to a Kardashian if you will. On a side note, the music was distracting. Using music that would be used at the end of a sports movie, but only a 5 second clip, that repeats itself, for 2 hours. The movie could have been a half hour shorter and not lost anything. I refer to this as a movie on purpose, I can't call this a documentary in the same way I can't call a Michael Moore movie a documentary. They are too one-sided to be taken seriously. Overall, this is the type of thing you would see at a political convention that hypes you up to see the candidate. This does not work as a documentary released to the public. On the other hand it is not deserving of all the negative politically biased reviews that it got. In hopes of staying out of a debate, and due to the fact that there is really nothing of substance in this I will not give it a grade.Would I watch again? Most likely no.
