To bad they couldn't have found an actor to play that part that was more like that. Pratt, perhaps?

Gun toting? Maybe I'm confused about what you are saying, but the movie was based " loosely" on Amanda Knox trial. Aka murder trial. Relating to or not relating to Oklahoma has nothing to do with gun toting. I apologize if I misunderstood what you were saying.

Jacob Green...knock off the true christian crap.

No reason to to be snide. We should admire successful people. We should all strive to be successful regardless of our field of work. You can only become better that way. On the other hand, constantly looking at what others have and ridiculing them for it helps no one, least of all yourself.

@@rasputin7633 Are you talking about those, that you consider successful, as those who come from a dynasty, wealthy by inheritance, those wealthy who are given more privilege, and opportunity for gain, those famous for being famous, because of their connections to wealth, and those wealthy by taking it off their workers backs, those who use their wealth to buy politicians to change laws in their favor in order to continue accumulating more and more wealth without ever earning it, or those who are wealthy because of grifting and manipulation, those who do nothing but sit around, as money continues flowing their way? etc.etc. I.e. most of the Walton family, Big Pharma and creators of the Opiod Crisis the "Sackler" Family, and Manipulators of the Stock Market thru their connections, and skirting the law; Politician's who are handed large amounts of money to do their bidding, as the "for profit" policians are now put in position to invest for their personal gain, Yeah, that's right...most of those did not come by their wealth honestly with their kickbacks, government subsides, and paying their workers peanuts for faithfully making the products in order to reward the wealthiest with humongous bonuses, and outrageous profits, while feeding workers chicken feed for their gain, thus stepping on people to get there. And all of it is driven by Greed, and Power, and the smug arrogant Notoriety that comes with it. As an American, I cannot, nor will not look up to any of these so-called successful people. These people represent the modern day Gilded Age of the "Robber Barons" that led our country into a Depression in the late 1800's, and returned again in 1921-1933 and leading to the crash of 1929, and followed by the Great Depression. Yep, Trickle down has never worked, but they are back again, and this time with a better plan, which will destroy our Country, if we let them. The only successful people are those who contribute to the betterment of mankind for instance the Doctor who discovered Penicillin, and its use... who never took a penny for his discovery, and many many more...those people had integrity, which is more honorable, than any of the Billionaire Class today...Who are crooks, and wolves in sheep's clothing and leading America (they came back this time with a better plan) down the road to destruction. And they do not care, and when it gets bad enough in America, they will simply escape on their Jets to their Private Islands, and their Secluded and Gated Mansions all over the World leaving the rest of us here to implode, as they continue to live comfortably in their bubble. These people actually are cheated by never knowing or having the real experiences in life. Therefore without developing a conscious these people are subhuman, and out of touch with the real world.

Exactly 💯

so, who do you vote for?

Well said 💯🙏💪

I agree but I think Damon grew a bit himself. He grew up in Cambridge Mass, I lived for a few years on Beacon Hill in downtown Boston. He lives in Beverly Hills, I worked for several years at Wilshire and North Beverly Drive in the epicenter of that burb, lived in Santa Monica. I know how people think in both places. I I didn't go to Stillwater; I went to Norman after my first 18 years of life in Oklahoma. Having said that, I think Damon caught enough of a glimpse of us to understand that this "red" culture is more plain spoken, which means they are more honest, they value their faith that says do unto others as you'd have them do to you. Despite the smear job that John Steinbeck did on the Joads in the Grapes of Wrath, people here are salt of the earth in the most literal way. Oklahoma is just a few generations away from a self-reliant life where you depended on your neighbors. If someone's barn burned down, everybody within shouting distance would come help rebuild one. Not for money, but because there might be a day ahead when you need their help. Interdependence on a personal level, community, a uniting of effort, a people with common goals. Not as diverse, but still appreciating the differences between people, showing respect and to be tolerant of those that don't see things the way you see them. It's a wisdom born of hardship where life is a struggle enough without complicating it with phobias and imaginative self trouble-making. I think Damon saw some of that and I think he liked it. He said the "people there treated us wonderfully." That's about right. The welcome mat is always outside the door.

@@gmb858 Nice comment. I had only one upvote that I could give.

@@MM-Iconoclast Appreciate your acknowledgement. Even after watching the film only a few days ago it still "hangs" with me. Matt Damon really did a great job in that part. He captured the spirit we treasure. There is talk of multiple Oscars for him as best actor and the movie as best film. Well deserved in my humble opinion. I might be persuaded to watch the Oscars because of it. I haven't seen it for at least 10 years.

@@gmb858 I live in NYC, but my dad was from South Dakota and was well-travelled. I am as well (internationally). So I'm able to see things through the prism of various cultures, both domestically (right/left, rural/urban) and globally (various countries). I appreciate when a film can transcend those boundaries - showing something essential about humanity - rather than being locked into them (esp in a superficial, negative or biased way).

Yes, it’s crazy! And most of the replies do not even relate to the video! 🥴

Exactly right....thanks for your insight sweetheart.

Terrible movie lol, I can't believe I paid money to watch 😅

little miss sunshine is 15 years ago

Huh? Pretty sure I saw plenty of fists being thrown on Jan 6th

@@jdhowell916 were you there?

@@theowl4715 nope.... I was not a supporter of 45. Why would I have been there?

@@jdhowell916 Then why are you speaking as you know?

@@theowl4715 hm.... I wonder how I could have seen what happened on Jan 6th in DC without actually being there. If only there was technology to capture events, and then another technology to display those captured events to other people.... if only.

Yeah, not everyone in the midwest is a "rough neck" or lives that church on Sunday, conservative lifestyle. People are people, and they are different and the same no matter where you go in the world. The United States is a big place as well. So labeling people doesn't really make any sense, anyway. Blindly labeling millions of people as ignorant "rough necks" like they aren't even human, when in reality that culture is very specific, is its own kind of ignorance.

@@LC-fx2lo No one called anyone ignorant, and some would proudly call themselves rough necks. It's not meant to be an insult.

Matt said it was obvious that his character did support Trump; he just wasn’t allowed to vote because of his criminal record. They just said it wasn’t necessary to explicitly state it because his political views played no factor in the story itself.

If you are a logical person, the explanation would not make sense. Most of the comments have nothing to do with the panel discussion for this movie.

Roommate 700 dollars. I move, new yorkers, august

Nearly this entire comment section appears fake. Seems to be a bunch of people saying things they think Trump supporters would say with intentional misspellings. A number of times the exact same comment is repeated by different people. A ton of accounts with foreign names. I checked out a couple and they have random 30 second uploads from this interview. Guess Hollywood thinks this is their way of advertising so Trump supporters watch the movie after only receiving 15,000 or so views for this video. Thanks for your input. If it's a fake review, you at least put in a little more effort.

Calm down your tds is peaking

Most liberals are but not all.

TRUE YOU SAID VERY WELL!!!

I had the same thought as you at the movies outset. But that's how some movies are made. It just starts with no direction. But if you pay attention it subtly comes into focus. I'm disappointed anyone didn't like it. I thought it was great.

@@nealchampagne7548 if that's so, I respect your opinion.

No, I don't think he did.

Was that ten years ago?

Depends on what kind of trouble you're in... For example, you wouldn't want a Republican next door neighbour if: - You're black, a Crooked cop planted evidence on you -If your gay and caught HIV - You're a public school teacher, and you're not paid enough - You're homeless Etc etc But I get it, you were thinking about some bizarre zombie senator apocalypse scenario which you're desperate to solve with a .357 mag
