Beautiful piece of propaganda. It gave me the feels.

But something I'm most interested in is the way they "did up" Hillary for her on-camera interviews that were woven into the narrative. They gave Hillary a look I don't think we've ever seen her have. Extremely casual, not very much makeup, very homey... I'm wondering how it might have played with the wider electorate and whether y'all think we'll be seeing more clips from that interview session. I know it's problematic to talk about a woman's "look" in politics, but obviously she'll be scrutinized for it, and obviously it does subconsciously affect the way people think of her, so I'm curious.

For my part, I think it was the most human she's ever seemed. Even the way she answered questions... it was just so personable.

Are you talking about the Morgan Freeman one?

Yep.

That and Chelsea's speech did a lot to humanize her, I think, which may have been the most important thing to happen at the convention -- making someone who's a tad stiff and seen as untrustworthy come off as warm and caring. I think they did a pretty good job of that.

The fact that it was narrated by the voice of God didn't hurt either.

Chelsea's speech wasn't great but I think it did present a perspective most of us aren't familiar with of Hillary Clinton; that of a a woman who is a mother, and apparently a pretty good one.

I thought it was good. Maybe I had a different impression from inside the stadium.

Wow, you're just as much a creepy cultist as the Trumpistas are!  Neither of these candidates are good people, and it's SAD! that some people can be so easily fooled by a celebrity narrated video.

She's literally been fighting for the same selfless causes since she was a teenager. Try again.
