    So many snowflakes to trigger. So little time. No need to thank me, it's all part of the service.

    The liars - who were sufficiently convincing that Ballard shot the vid he was advised would run on American planes - were fired. So sorry that pound of flesh doesn't sate your cannibalism. It's fun to watch, though. Keep it coming!

    I googled the West movies of all time and got "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly", "True Grit,", "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid", and "High Noon".

    There are many more false tales from him. With that said it’s why the movie is “based”. It’s movies. That’s to be expected.

    No, it doesn't.

    It's exactly the same thing as the guardian article. It literally doesn't in any way connect this movie to the far right....it just hurls insults.

    The left has, quite literally, decided their outrage based on, apparently, who is in the movie....maybe. It's really hard to pinpoint what exactly their mad at. The rollingstone article complains some about some things being unrealistic....dear god stop the press a movie isn't 100% realistic.

    Before throwing a fit about something, could people at least try to figure out why they're about to throw said fit instead of just assuming they're supposed to react a certain way.

    I'm guessing it's going to do great.....that series of movies hasn't catered to the far left so they haven't alienated their fan base.

    I don't keep up with movies anymore. They lost me with the 647th superhero movie.

    Are you a supporter of The Orange Stain? If so, please keep your comments about “defend anything” to yourself…

    In the meantime, what do you think of ACTUAL underage human trafficking that is ACTUALLY happening because of your political choices?

    Seems to me if you have the AUDACITY to go on a PUBLIC forum and make a JOKE about it you either have no idea or couldn’t care less.

    So what is it Yulee?

    It seems I have touched a nerve. lol Are you a supporter of pedophilia and child trafficking? Maybe try putting your Trump obsession on hold for a minute and comment on the topic. And I will comment on whatever I want to. Thanks!

    Highly offensive to insinuate I would ever support such criminal and inhuman behavior. It’s vile and shows me what kind of human being YOU are. All I said is the movie is embellished for entertainment. You owe an apology, which, no doubt you will not offer. So I won’t expect it. This ends our discourse for good because I don’t associate with folks who behave like you.

    Sound of Freedom, starring Jim Caviezel as the main protagonist, is based on the true story of Tim Ballard – how much does the film get right?

    The issue for me, that scares the hell out of me, is that those supporting the critiques of the movie writing things like, "What? A movie has never been criticised before?" are deflecting. Those critiques are at their most outrageous, and what we are objecting to here, not when they say something bad about the film making itself, but are objecting to its content. They do not want us know of the child trafficking that is going on. I suspect the reason has less to do with the child rapist desire's themselves (though that no doubt is a factor) but that it makes it obvious of the further need to secure our Southern border. Shut off the money spigot and crimes like this go down. They don't want that money spigot shut and a secure border to be a thing that happens.

    This is hardly, say, "The Woman King" about black people fighting white people to resist slavery. In reality the white people were trying to end slavery, the black people trying to preserve it.
    In this case from your link:
    True: Tim Ballard Quit His Job To Rescue Children
    He did that job for 12 years and, as Caviezel's character says in the film, captured 288 criminals.
    ME: good to know.

    False: Katherine Ballard Convinced Her Husband To Stay In Colombia In Sound Of Freedom's True Story
    Me: No relevant in material part. In the Queen biopic, the brass is hesitent to record Bohemian Rhapsody. In reality they were eager to do so. Yawn.

    True: The Little Boy Asked Tim Ballard To Save His Sister
    Me: OK

    False: Tim Ballard Had To Get Funding To Complete His Mission In Real Life
    In reality, Glenn Beck, a conservative political commentator and entrepreneur, gave Ballard the money he needed to complete his mission
    Me: IE he had to be funded by someone else: he quit is job and couldn't afford to do this on his own.

    True: How The Traffickers Lured Children
    Me: OK

    False: The Number Of Kids Rescued Was Greater In The True Story
    Me: Confusing. Dunno why they down played their success.

    True: Tim Ballard Founded A Non-Profit To Combat Child Trafficking
    Me: Good on him.

    See posts 14 & 54. Yulee has been thoroughly debunked, but is hell bent on beating this horse after it's dead. At worst, Ballard is guilty of poor management and/or oversight by using the PR firm who made the mistake. The firm was immediately fired, but it's what Yulee & his ilk are hanging their hat on. They got nothin'.
