An ancient conspiracy goes on living in our time
11 August 2019
"God's chosen one", this ancient conspiracy has been around since the beginning of monarchy. Legend of Camelot is one great example. When we could not construe the inequality and unjust in our society , theory of God's chosen one could be well versed. It serves as a vessel to allow tyranny and dictatorship to exist since God's chosen one could do no wrong. It purely exonerates someone's wrong doings without justified consequences. This film tended to overlook manipulations of voters and flaws of electoral college contributed to today's politics. It is idiotic, idealistic and also too simple to convince me the least.

This country is governed by laws not God. Of course, too many people believing in possessing power among human beings tends not to be an easy task. Yet, there were plenty of social studies already proving that human behaviors could be predicable if preying on and exploiting right angles will often lead to results in your favors. That's why there are marketing research companies providing consumer data for companies launching new products. Similar information is also provided for political purposes. This film overly credited religious influences and the tall tale of God's chosen one contributing today's political scenes. It intended not to inquire audience to see the full view of political processes. Anyone could claim to be God's chosen one once he or she became elected but not the other way around.

Freedom of speech allows appalling statements and behaviors less disgusting and criticizing since everyone is entitled to express his or her own opinions no matter how dark they are. The only way to combat such declining civilities is through education which probably is far from where we like it to be now. Presenting such conspiracy of God's chosen one for people in power to explain today's political surroundings might just be well served to those semi under-educated crowd.

Nevertheless, I think it is still an interesting documentary just not neutral and journalistic enough.
