Canada Movie Reviews of Biography - Barack ObamaMovie Review: Lite and thin. A few of the basics, but little more.
I can't imagine buying this lightweight biography of Barack Obama. I was interested to learn about the man's childhood and his rise to power, but found myself wanting a good deal more. For one thing, there's little critique at all. I'm an ardent Obama supporter, but I would have appreciated a more well-rounded discussion. Furthermore, the producers might have bothered to discuss his legislation, his political philosophy, and his place with regard to the major issues of the day. But no mention of 9/11, fiscal policies, war, or health care. Very little is offered other than some biography about the man's family. In a sense, this video exempflifies the deplorably shallow state of US journali$m today. Afraid to ask questions of power, US info-tainment ends up only serving power. |
