I wonder why people are ripping on it so much? My grandfather fled germany before WW2, joined the army and met the same crap after he came back from fighting Nazis that the muslims are facing now. He would sit and tell stories of how people would break into his house, try to kill him in the middle of the street and how he felt like his children weren’t safe in public.
You don’t agree with it thats fine, but they came here for the same reasons our grandfathers and their fathers did. To escape something something terrible and make a life that is both safe and prosperous.
*Now onto the movie*
So I went to see it and HOLY CRAP boring. It tries to be CRASH, the movie where a bunch of people get in a car crash and find out that they all have a predisposition towards flagrant racism even though they swear their colorblind through the whole movie.
The difference is that CRASH is entertaining. AmericanEAST gets an A for effort but my god it was boring. I feel asleep about 20 minutes in and woke up at home. My boyfriend said I was starting to snore (yes holy crap a gay conservative, I’m waiting for at least one persons head to pop).
All in all it has a great concept but fails horribly in execution. I hope they try again just without the suck.
