|
||||
On the eve of 2016 election, a filmmaker decides to make a point about the |
||||
republican candidate for the USA presidency, Donald Trump, focusing on the |
||||
struggles of an old lady in Scotland, whose water have been cut with the |
||||
constructor of Trump gold course. |
||||
|
||||
For the plot, you can imagine how it would go: focusing on the "don't care |
||||
about others" from Donald, which failed to recognize he (and his business) |
||||
harmed some other folk. Also, you can imagine that his whole family -- |
||||
specially Donald Trump Jr -- would *also* not give a shit about their actions |
||||
affecting someone else. And you can expect that there is a lot of speculation |
||||
that the Trump family is actually using politics to force people out of their |
||||
homes so they can built a bigger golf course. |
||||
|
||||
Where the movie falls short, though, is the feeling that the filmmakers thought |
||||
they could actually make a dent on Trump's campaign for presidency using just |
||||
one story. Sure, a 92-year-old lady that gets cut from her water supply, have |
||||
to have her children bring bottled water so she can have water to drink and |
||||
only wishes to have a real shower, all that while Trump Corporation (and his |
||||
son) keep saying that they will fix the problem, do absolutely nothing and, |
||||
when a neighbor takes the matter in his own hand and gets sue for it, it is |
||||
infuriating, but you don't expect that voters in the USA -- voters that would |
||||
(and did) vote for Trump -- would care about some old lady in Scotland, do you? |
||||
|
||||
In this line of "trying to make you furious", there are some selected quotes |
||||
from voters, like "Maybe she shouldn't have water anyway" from a man, and two |
||||
Trump supporters saying they they understand the neighbor going after a power |
||||
"bigger than him", 'cause they are also going after a power bigger than them, |
||||
which is Hillary Clinton. Oh, sure you understand, but *you're supporting the |
||||
power bigger than him, you dumb fucks*! |
||||
|
||||
(See, it works, sometimes.) |
||||
|
||||
If they have picked up more stories, shown more people affected by the lack of |
||||
sympathy of the Trump Corporation and such, maybe it would feel more like a |
||||
real contender, as sad as it is a 92-year-old woman having no water to shower |
||||
or even drink. |
