I saw America after my Atlas Shrugged book club meeting today. It was excellent with a lot of information to help refute many of the common lies being told and taught these days. It was a 4pm movie, so there were about 30 people in the theater, non under the age of at least 50. After the movie there was dead silence and no one even moved. I started clapping and everyone joined in. They seemed relieved to be lead. I was disappointed that I didn't see the ASIII trailer on the 50' screen, although they have several postits in the ladies room now.

    When 2016: Obama's America came out I was the youngest one in the theatre by 20 years. I'm disgusted at how younger people allowed themselves to be hoodwinked.

    Chomsky was treated with respect during the interview, and then Chomsky's ideas and Zinn's ideas were eventually shredded later.

    D'Souza is a producer. In every sense of the word. The looters hate him because he won't fake reality.

    There was an AS III ad of the sand drawing in the preview... Cool... I commented that we would have to see that movie :-)

    We went to the 11:15am showing and there were about 15 people in attendance and we are over 50 and the youngest one's there. The movie was very informative as you described it Pirate but he was wrong about the reason we fought the Civil War.. it was about state's rights...not slavery..as it is portrayed by people today. Hillary's college days were very interesting also... And they played Madison Rising's Star-Spangled Banner at the end and the band was on a Pirate Ship...Love that part also...

    My wife and I went to the movie on the 5th of July at a 1:35 PM showing. Small crowd, but no one left until all the credits were completed, and spontaneously broke out in clapping at the end of it. No ASIII either. We are going to buy the book as well. We thought that we would invite a Democrat “friend” of ours to the movie to see how he would react!!

    I'm glad to see that some people were educated by the film, and at our 7:15pm showing in Boca Raton we had nearly 100 in attendance. Still, I can't believe people are still worshiping Lincoln and misrepresenting the War of Northern Aggression as a means to end slavery. Other than that, the movie was pretty much a rehash of stuff most of us libertarian/objectivist types already knew.

    That's what I heard from the one lady I was able to talk to afterward. She and her husband a active in the local Tea Party, but they were totally overloaded with information. I think that maybe be why people seemed stunned at the end of the movie. No one moved. No one spoke. Dead silence until I started clapping.

    No AS3 trailer for my showing at the Carmike Cinema in Viera, FL - a total of 10 people at our 10:30 AM showing on 7/4.

    Friends of ours went on 7/5 to the same morning showing. There were only 7 people, including the 5 of them.

    D'Souza's America was a very good expose, very informative. My son, thank God, learned a bit about our land that he's been too stubborn to believe coming from me.

    The audience applauded twice - once at the movies end and again AFTER the hard rock revision of the Star Spangled banner. My wife suffered information overload (her words not mine).

    My family no longer thinks I'm crazy or overzealous.

    My folks saw it in upstate NY and they enjoyed the AS3 trailer. They have not read the book but are enjoying the movies. They also thought the film America was pretty good, and encouraged me to go. Way to lead!

    I look forward to seeing the movie. Sad that the young people, who really need to hear what is going on did not attend but it is no surprise either.
