Silenced

While yes i do indeed agree that the camerawork, lighting, audio, and most other things are quite poor in this documentary, the content of the documentary is where this thing really shines. I agree with everything these people said, it is so important that we don't fall into a pit of restricting our rights to free speech. This movie isn't just a bunch of white men complaining, there are people of different backgrounds here who genuinely fear for the future of our country. If we allow people like SJW's and people like that to destroy the wonderful free speech of this country, ultimately Orwell's dystopian future of political censors and totalitarianism will become a reality here, maybe not to as much as an extent as 1984, but enough to where it will be a massive decline for this country. Please share this with as many people as you can, this message of protecting our free speech is too important to go unnoticed.

This is a movie cashing in on the desire for privileged people to feel like victims. 0 intellectual value. Watching this is an exercise in masochisism. 2 stars for hate-watchability.

Its no secret that free speech is under attack using the dtupid guise of 'hate speech' because sensitive people fall for it.

I rated this a 10. In reality its abbout a 6 or a 7 because the production value is kind of low. Despite that, the message is very important. Also the other people rating it a 1 are the exact people I refer to above. You can tell they didnt even watch it. They came here to rate it low to promote their agenda. Sickening.

I have no ideological opposition to this documentary and I think that's important to state. I agree with free speech and actively support it. It's why I watched this documentary. If you're looking for a documentary on that subject though, I cannot recommend this.

This documentary feels like a freshman film student project than something profession. It makes me question how easy it is to get your film on Amazon. There are bad audio levels, the framing is terrible, the lighting is worse, sometimes the shots are blurry, do I need to go on? That's just the technical issues. The editing is awful. It's just one long unbroken monologue after another. There is little to no structure. There is no pacing. There is nothing visually interesting unless you find there use of poorly edited stock photos amusing.

This really is one of the worst documentaries I've ever seen and I took a doc class at film school.

The really ironic part of this movie is it frames all these people who have been censored as being "anti-free speech". And that's not true. Free speech isn't actually protected under the constitution of the United States. Or at least it is but not in the way these people go on about it.

Free Speech, better known as the First Amendment, doesn't say you can say whatever you like and not get in trouble. It says the government can't tell you what you can say and what you can't. And the meaning of it was clear at least back in the day when it was written. Namely the government couldn't put you in jail for speaking poorly about the government itself. You could criticize the President or Congress or anybody in government and you wouldn't then be hauled before a judge and thrown in jail. It makes no mention of what you can and can't say to another person and it makes no mention that you can't be prosecuted or fired from a position for saying something that goes against what your employer says or does.

And that's what this movie is about. A bunch of people that have gotten in trouble for saying things that their employers or people in general got angry at and they were fired, fined or blasted by the general population.

Remember, free speech isn't truly free. Try shouting "fire" in a crowded theater and see how well it goes. And an employer is well within their rights to fire somebody that criticizes their business practices.
