Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I expected to love this book and also to recommend it to my daughter who is interested in filmmaking. Unfortunately, it was a little too much of a fevered love letter to Obama . . . and I say that as someone who voted for Obama twice! There were way too many comments about how "authentic" Obama is. Obama wears a White Sox hat and that's why people respect him, because they know he is being authentic and wearing the hat of the team he loves. Obama is easy to talk to, and that's why people like him, because he is authentic in his interactions. Obama is the same off-camera as on-camera, and that is why he will win (book written before Nov 2012), because people really get to know what he is like from the videos. etc. etc. How about telling me of a specific time the author videotaped Obama's wearing the White Sox hat, something that SHOWS the fans respect him rather than just asserting that they do. I would have liked more specific stories about things that actually happened, less starry-eyed mancrush on Obama. You might want to take this review with a grain of salt, because ultimately I couldn't finish the book. Maybe the last third was exactly what I was looking for. If I can force myself to finish reading it and discover that it gets way better at the end, I'll revise my review.… (meer)
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.I wanted - really wanted - to like this book. Obama was my candidate and I'm a political nerd. Unfortunately the author seems to be the type of person who is so wrapped up in his head that he has difficulty communicating effectively, and I doubt he was highly focused on the inside politics anyway. I would recommend this only for film students.
Deze bespreking is geschreven voor LibraryThing Vroege Recensenten.Absolutely delightful book! I found myself laughing at almost every page. The book gives some nice behind the scenes, but doesn't overdue it. There was a lot more info on film and videography and its changes regarding the presidency then I expected, but it fit perfectly and was truly interesting. I now have a completely different view whenever I see videos of the president and just a completely different view of this office in general.
