Pointless
In direct contrast to the subjects of the film, this movie presents nothing new worth presenting, and instead represents just another generation's all-star team of repetitive self righteousness. There's absolutely nothing new to be learned from this movie other than you're still not as smart as Aaron Sorkin. Imdb is forcing me to write more about this movie, even though there's absolutely nothing else to say about it. It's a bunch of people who have never solved and never will solve the problems of society calling you a jerk for not being the subject of a movie that knows the one way to solve the problems of society without ever actually solving any of society's problems. - browniesnack57 - 15 March 2023
I am wiser
I have never before seen a biopic that educates a broader scope of the world's population. Anyone who has experienced their country's government overstepping, will feel in good company with the people of the United States through this film. To call it a documentary isn't too far off. It is an exceptionally well-cast dramatisation, with a healthy dose of actual footage of these important events. The dissent sowed by the War in Vietnam came to a head in a confrontation between state and citizen fit for Orwell. The whole world is watching, indeed. To refute the significance would be tantamount to treason. - gibbs-18172 - 16 May 2022
As enjoyable as Netflix history gets
Very much liked this. Some great performances and some thought provoking moments for a generation and nation who knows little about this story. I'm sure some artistic liberty was taken but the raw footage inclusion is a great add .
I really learned something from this. - momomojojo - 31 January 2022
Great movie, a bit hollywood, good script, movie building, scenes but missing moral of the story a deeper meaning
Actions are very Hollywood and classic, dialogues also what is pitty because the actors are great, it feels like they got hold back.
Really great emotion interaction Love how different kind of party with different morals and values do stand up side by side for 1 kind of mission Script is really nicely done, The sound really supported the scenes The real clips really give a reality check not like other movies that only shows at the end Love how they made the twist in the movie, just like how Hollywood does timing almost precisely half of the movie.
Like the acting in combination of the script Love how the story is retold but also told to the audience The acting is done really greatly.
