President Ronald Reagan knew popular culture higher than his Republican predecessors. He lived it.
The veteran actor labored inside Hollywood for many years earlier than ditching sound levels for stump speeches.
President Donald Trump has an analogous benefit.
He embraced popular culture early and infrequently in his actual property heyday. He labored the discuss present circuit and appeared in TV reveals and movies (“Dwelling Alone 2: Misplaced in New York,” “The Little Rascals”) earlier than hanging it huge with NBC’s “The Apprentice.”
Not each Republican politician can say the identical. And it typically reveals. Sen. Ted Cruz is an exception to that rule.
Now, Trump is throwing his weight behind a strong new documentary ignored by nearly each movie critic within the nation.
“Screams Earlier than Silence,” obtainable for free on its website online and YouTube, lets the survivors of the Oct. 7 assaults share their tales. It’s a gut-wrenching expertise that eschews graphic imagery for uncooked testimonials.
Not solely did critics reflexively ignore the movie, Hollywood generally has pretended it doesn’t exist. No starry testimonials demanding audiences give it a glance. No pleas from feminist starlets pleading with audiences to study what occurred on that tragic day.
The Documentary, “Screams earlier than Silence,” is extremely troublesome to look at as a result of, sadly, it graphicly portrays the Dying and Destruction that Hamas has unleashed. I urge individuals to help the Documentary and watch, if in a position. We demand that each one Hostages taken October seventh from Israel, and being held in Gaza, be launched instantly, together with eight People, and Residents from over twenty different Nations, in order that the struggle can come to an finish.
This isn’t a typical movie advice.
The film’s content material belies the pro-Palestinian protesters wreaking havoc throughout the nation. A few of these protesters, like Susan Sarandon, deny Hamas raped numerous girls throughout the terrorist strike.
Others insisted simply days after Oct. 7 that Israel stand down somewhat than retaliate for essentially the most savage assault in trendy reminiscence.
There’s extra.
The movie has the ability to alter individuals’s minds concerning the ongoing Israel/Hamas struggle. Even these alarmed on the civilian casualties mounting in Gaza would possibly change their thoughts after watching “Screams.”
Trump might even see a political benefit in selling “Screams Earlier than Silence.” True? False? Both means, it’s the fitting factor to do.
