‘Straight Up Propaganda’: Audience Reviews Chastise Fauci Documentary

‘Straight Up Propaganda’: Audience Reviews Chastise Fauci Documentary

The elite will never ever learn that the regular people they hate will never bow or worship Fauci.

There is a reason why I look at audience reviews more than critic reviews for movies and TV shows.

I am totally shocked that movie critics loved and gushed over the Fauci documentary on Disney+. A few gave the movie a negative review because it did a “disservice” to him.

“A documentary that merits a place in classrooms as well as theaters, as a preventative against the virus of cynicism,” drooled Variety’s Chris Willman.

“Fauci is a refreshing figure and a standard-bearer for the truth,” cried The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw.

“An admiring film that still ends up doing him a disservice. Fauci is smarter than Fauci,” cried The Financial Times’ Danny Leigh.

Let’s look at the audience reviews at IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes.

Are you laughing? I’m in stitches!

One person reviewed Fauci on Rotten Tomatoes. Justin B. wrote:

While the film had some interesting back story regarding Fauci’s career and family history, as a documentary it is severely lacking. While it is a challenge to give a truly analytical and unbiased assessment, the producers here don’t even try. They have some background noise of people saying mean things about Fauci and then make clear those are unfair and go about interviewing only people who fawn all over him. There are no interviews of anyone who question the quality of the job he has done. There is no real assessment of the quality his tenure during the pandemic.

I see people saying no one can leave a review for the movie. I logged into Rotten Tomatoes and could leave a review if I wanted to write one. I refuse to watch it.

The documentary has 66 reviews on IMDb.

“This is straight up propaganda. Have to give it the worst rating unfortunately,” wrote user etiennemol.

A lot of the reviews have a political angle, which doesn’t surprise me. But this one from sunwarrior13 is well-thought-out and coherent (emphasis mine):

“Fauci” is a documentary that presents the career of the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the current Chief Medical Advisor to the Presidenand [sic] amidst the COVID-19 pandemic,Anthony Fauci. His accomplishments as the top infection disease expert are discussed since working from the NIAID in 1968 until he became its director in 1984 and which he holds until today. Evidently, it tries to elevate him when to the greatest heights at a time with a lot of controversies going on during the pandemic.

The documentary presents a one-side view of Fauci. It does not present a fair view of the man. Also, we get to see numerous people provide feedback about working with him like George W. Bush, Susan Rice, Bono and Bill Gates. His family members like his wife Christine and daughter Jenny,who both feel the disappointment and lack of appreciation towards the man who has done decades of service or better yet “service” to the government for almost 40 years in reference [sic] to the threats that the latter is getting. But he was a disappointment with the HIV epidemic and the COVID-19 pandemic.

No question that the pandemic has resulted a big loss to many people around the globe. But evidently, many are disappointed and feel the emotion of fear of what is ahead in the future. Also,many are frustrated with him especially when he is not providing concrete guidance towards the public.

The New York Times called Fauci a movie star at the review of this film. Why not? He requested Brad Pitt to play him on Saturday Night Live (SNL) and actor gladly did. Too bad that people demand better from Fauci as the top infectious expert. Expertise is needed rather than glamor. We need a health expert and not a cultural phenomenon.

God I dislike this man

No mention of his potential role on creating the Chinese virus?

There is no science but “The Science” and Dr. Fauci is its Arbiter. Consensus be upon him.

What is the attraction with this elf-oaf?
Is he tall, dark and handsome? No, no and no.
Is he smart? No.
Is he right? No.
Is he rich? No.
Is it because he is a control freak who’s gotten away with it? I guess.

It boggles my mind how many people kiss this jerk’s rear end.

    He is, however, Italian.

    He’s a boon to Biden. Imagine what Joe’s numbers would look like without Fauci playing lightning rod to the public’s ire.

    Every fascist/communist regieme has its manufactured heroes: this clown Fauci has been around for a long time, has been bribed up the wazoo for years, and now his b.s. story has been made ready for consumption by other clowns.

    If Disney (or Goebbels, or Jen Psaki for that matter) took a freshly eliminated dog turd, and coated it with sugar then baked it, then made an animated special about it, they’d call it “Obama the Great”.

    The useful idiots of the left (the Hollywood idiots in particular) would jump on Zoom calls extolling its’ delicous taste’ (their staffs would have to eat it and report in)).

    What’s the mystery?

    Speaking of turds: Gavin Newsom’s daughter has been spared the Covid injection!

Intended audience is 6 years old and ate it up as intended.

Anime is the way to fight back, and if it gets your kids interested in Japanese congratulations you have a project of both learning the language together there are thousands of years of culture to love with Japan.

    The way to fight back is to sit your children down and educate them, warning them not to discuss what is discussed in your home outside your home.

    We’re much further along on the fascist route than we realize:

    The Soviet Cult of Childhood:

      Not so sure how anything you said is relevant but

      1. You can’t teach kids to keep secrets they are children

      2. Good you saw from Russian example what the left wants with America’s children. The world outside of the United States could among other things provide a lot more than alternative ways to entertain our kids but only if we look beyond our borders with an open mind.

      3. Back to point two we need to tone down jingoistic rhetoric, it discourages conservatives from looking at the competitors of the woke in the entertainment industry.

Colonel – we don’t know if he is rich, but I would wager he has his hands in several financial pies, patents, etc.

“Fauci is a refreshing figure and a standard-bearer for the truth,”

Fauxchi is a repugnant slimy little worm.

    There’s a perfect word for this schmuck: it’s “Quisling”.

    “Vidkun Quisling was put on trial during the legal purge in Norway after World War II. He was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was sentenced to death. He was executed by firing squad at Akershus Fortress, Oslo, on 24 October 1945.

    “The term “quisling” has become a byword for “collaborator” or “traitor” in several languages and reflects the contempt with which Quisling’s conduct has been regarded both at the time and later. ”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vidkun_Quisling

      We are not at war with China right now.

      The word for Fauci is fraud, evil, horrible, funded the gain of function research that caused the pandemic, puppy killing on unnecessary procedures (literally) arrogant beyond belief etc.

      But stop with the treason rhetoric America isn’t at war with China or anyone else we Americans are in a cold war with one another. Face up to that if you want our side to win this cold war if you would rather the American flag be replaced by the pride flag continue as is,

One must remember — Disney’s forte is fantasy.

Fauci’s credibility has nosedived since last year. Fauci who spent millions of dollars with respect to investigating heterosexuals and AIDS when the evidence was compelling that unprotected sexual activity between homosexuals and drug addicts were the cause of AIDS has veered with the political winds and has no awareness of the mental health issues especially on school children and deprivation of civil liberties caused by the shutdown and was skeptical as to the efficacy of vaccines.

This guy murdered millions. He got with the Chinese and conducted gain of function on a virus. That is called weaponization. And the Chinese are our enemy. Then he gives a heads up that Trump is going to have to contend with an epidemic. And just like that, an epidemic.

Fauci should be fired for funding and advocating for refunding of the “research” that led to the development and release of the virus
