Reagan movie

Post by Grayling813 »

Wife and I saw it yesterday. Excellent movie. The critics hate it, so you know you must go see it.

We were sitting in the next to last row in back of theater, no one got up and left until all the credits were completed. If you go to see it, don't leave until the credits have completed.

Thoughts after the movie:
1. What would President Reagan have to say about the state of the country and the communist march through our institutions since his departure?
2. We (USA via Reagan policies) defeated the Soviet Union, only to be on the brink of becoming a communist country if the Democrats and their Republican allies are successful.

I will admit to being a bit misty eyed watching the end and credits, thinking about all that Mr. Reagan accomplished and how it has all been squandered.

It is an excellent film. I too got a little misty eyed. I will be buying the DVD or some form of the movie when it's available.

He is the only elected person that mentioned the word tax and actually lowered them.

It was an excellent movie. Dennis Quaid was able to get many of Reagan's mannerisms and voice down. But, there is only one Ronald Reagan. I agree with what I have seen several state about the movie

You come away with a love for Reagan, but you also come away with a love for our country which he so clearly personified. He was such a great story teller too. For those of us old enough to remember his presidency, the movie brought back that "Morning in America" feeling.

I also liked how they used Jon Voight to narrate the story. Very well done.

Just to show you how the liberals feel about Regan or any conservative.

I presume this was posted because of the new movie.

This added nothing to the discussion of the movie. Please respect Mr. Reagan by removing this picture. We all know how the left feels.
