Synopsis

This fascinating narrative is based in part on 2 years of research, interviews, newly unearthed footage and photos, and the writings of Davis and Obama himself. Dreams from My Real Father weaves together the proven facts with reasoned logic and speculation in an attempt to fill-in the obvious gaps in Obama's history. Is this the story Barack Obama should have told, revealing his true agenda for "fundamentally transforming America?" Director Joel Gilbert concludes, "To understand Obama’s plans for America, the question is ’Who is the real father?’"

bruce-129 Scrolling through videos to watch in Amazon Prime I came across this one. After having watched President Barack Obama's last Media Correspondent's dinner, I thought before he leaves office I ought to find out a little more about him. Timely, huh? In 2008 I thought we did not know enough about him, but there is certainly more to Barack Obama than meets the eye, so why not learn more? Why not indeed ... but this movie has nothing.It is titled to sound like his autobiographical book introducing himself to the country for his run for the Presidency, but it is not that, it is a very dishonest attempt to pretend to sound like it was written about Obama.Well, it started out interestingly enough, spoken in an intimate first person tone as if it was written in Barack Obama's own voice it starts to talk about his father being a communist and how bringing communism to the US was his lifelong dream. OK ... what's wrong here. I took a closer look and this is nothing Obama did himself. In the reader's voice it says he knows he misled the American people and goes on more about communism.Well, I don't know how unintelligent someone has to be to watch this so-called documentary and believe it, but I knew right away it was nonsense. I am no expert in communism or Marxism, but I know enough to know that Obama is not a Marxist, or a communist or anything close to that. He is more of the 1% and American elitist with a casual laid back pragmatic attitude that allows him to interact with people with great social skills.I am not am Obama fan, though his care-taking of the US from 2008 to 2016 was a fairly good piece of work. He passed ObamaCare which was better than nothing, but certainly not communist or Marxist. I prefer a more New Deal approach of Single Payer Health care. He did not find a way to deal with the Republicans so he did allow the tax cuts to remain and the budget deficits to rise ... and that is sooner or later going to kill the country, or at least bankrupt the government. Who knows how far away that time is, so I think in the near future people will look back on the Obama years with nostalgia.Back to this fictitious attack on Obama ... it is so devious and underhanded that if it was true there would no need to soup it up and try to deceive viewers and push a bunch of lies into it. I am sad I wasted time on this and it is even more sad that there are so many Americans who would waste time, energy and money to attack a popular President who isn't perfect, but has done what he thinks he can do in office - agree or disagree with him.This movie is awful, to be avoided and warned against. 1/10
bsa1944 As a reformed leftist who participated in the turbulence of the 60's and 70's, I find this film has the ring of truth and deserves to be watched. Most people in this country are naive and simply don't recognize how the left operates and what their real goals are for this country. As a result they are blinded to the signs which are right in front of their eyes.However, that being said, I was somewhat put off by the tabloid style especially in the early part of the film. It almost made me feel that if one listens to jazz and likes poetry then they are suspect of being unAmerican which is a J. Edgar Hooveresque stereotype that I heartily reject. Sometimes things are more nuanced than what this film presents. Also, I don't know if many of the photographs of Obama's mother are real or not, however the assertion that Obama's real father was Frank Marshall Davis is very plausible to me and goes a long way toward explaining many things that I find troubling about the "official" account of Obama's upbringing.After watching the whole film my response was that the real Obama has finally been unmasked even though I was somewhat put off by it's tabloid style. I urge everyone to watch it and ponder its message. The future of the country is on the line.
charlieblues It is unclear whether this amateurish effort is meant to offend the political left or right. The left will find it generally offensive, and "Birthers" on the right will be frustrated by the undermining of their narrative.A curious Director's Note precedes the film, acknowledging that the contents are "based on actual events," of "probable events," and "approximated conversations." http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/805/dreamsfrommyrealfatherx.jpg/The whole of the film is presented in "Mockumentary" style (as are Director Joel Gilbert's other efforts, "Elvis Found Alive" and, "Paul McCartney Really is Dead-") with the first-person narrative meant to be the "true" voice of President Obama. The voice-over makes no real effort to sound similar to Barak Obama's tone or speech patterns, but continually presents fabricated emotional observations and descriptions as autobiographical.The film is entertaining. Although the narrative is pedantic, predictable, and clumsy in it's stereotypes; Jazz music, nude photography, college education, foreigners and minorities are presented as communist threats to America; The Federal Government of the United States is (curiously at odds with modern Conservative thinking) a font of righteous American morals, including McCarthyism, the CIA, Hoover's FBI and anything vaguely military.The writer is unable to reconcile his (again, Joel Gilbert) attempt at presenting Barak Obama's inner-voice with his own political agenda. The snide asides about Affirmative Action and habitual labeling of "Commies" are packed in with open attempts to paint President Obama as a race hater and devious subversive.It can be hoped that reactionary personalities on both sides of the contemporary American political divide will view this film as either a baseless Mockumentary, sarcastically intended to show the ridiculous ease of exaggeration and misdirection, or as an inept and markedly vicious effort at inflaming an already discordant political environment.For myself; I've seen plenty of this kind of garbage from both the liberal and conservative spectrum. If you find this kind of flailing and dishonest manipulation entertaining (as I do), I recommend Michael Moore's films, Glen Beck's books, and any commercial effort that purports to share a shocking and hidden truth. Think for yourself!
