    Daily reminder: The stereotype of the homeless vietnam vet in the 1980s was CREATED by Reagan, as he was instrumental in the closing of America's then-robust mental health services and asylums which were treating war vets who came home from that carnage completely broken inside. Once the mental health institutions were shut down, they had no where to go, and in classic American tradition, our country ignored them until they died off, often from hunger or exposure.

    Shortly after Reagan's death, I got "hired" as a research assistant for one of my dad's acquaintances, who was writing a book about Reagan's "leadership."
    Two things rapidly became obvious to me: one, that I was never going to see a dime for my efforts, and two, that the book was, if it ever actually got published, going to be 100% fiction. Surprisingly, despite still being a die-hard Reaganite, my dad was supportive of me quitting the project on the grounds that I wasn't being paid.

    As a note on Nancy Reagan, she was not just a person with agency; she was a person who used her agency for evil and was one of the greatest two villains of the Reagan presidency, after only her husband. She is one of the ones who pushed the war on drugs and the silencing on AIDS the hardest.
    Contrast this to Ladybird Johnson, who literally stepped in vociferously to STOP the firing of an outed gay man who worked for Lyndon, who caved to her, despite himself a homophobe. A tale in two different kinds of class acts.

Then, he was unforgivable for his mishandling of the AIDS crisis, forcing me to sign up for the draft (as if we'd send battalions to Moscow) and the fact that I was educated yet unemployed from 1982-1984 and the job I landed in '84 paid so little, I needed to work 2 additional part-time jobs just to make rent. Today, because of Ronnie, I cannot afford to send my kids to a good school. As we say here in NYC: F**k you, you f**king f**k! Great video as always, Pat. Reagan was the worst.

      This is NOT a defense of Reagan, but you are mis-remembering your history. Carter was the one who implemented the draft-registration requirement (Presidential order 4771, in July of 1980).
      Also, I'm not sure where the other commenter heard that we used to have a 35-hour work week prior to the 80s, but that has never been true. This might be confusion over the ATC strike (they were demanding a 32-hour work week and a pay raise, if I recall). The US work week has been 40 hours since the FDR years.

    Yeah, this sounds about right.
    Growing up, I only heard about Reagan from my die-hard conservative mom who only told us 2 stories. Thr first was that she first got into politics as a kid when her own mom (my grandma) said that she should cheer for Reagan instead of Carter and that she apparently hasn't changed her stance since then. The second was (now that I actually know the story) a bizarre retelling of the Star Wars debacle where he actually knew that it wouldn't work and that it was secretly a ploy to get the Soviet Union to blow their budget and collapse so that they could finally stop communism once and for all. She tells both like they were some reflections of his golden character, but they didn't appeal to me then, and they don't appeal to me now that I know how many other policies he bungled.
    Now we have a movie that does almost the same thing minus the space part? Not a snowflake's chance in Hell it would be a good movie.

    I snuck into it last night after a couple other movies, and the thing that stuck out to me was how deliberately it follows the tenants of fascist propaganda outlined by Umberto Eco. Reagan never has any personal struggles or significant failings throughout; he starts the film strong and ends the film even stronger. By contrast, the Soviets are framed simultaneously as an existential force that nearly took over the entire country, but also so weak that it could be stopped by one B-list actor running for office and giving some strongly-worded speeches.

The history of the Reagan years is genuinely interesting, like him or not he's one of the most influential characters in American history, he's responsible for the aids crisis that could be a movie on its own. its such a boring piece of propaganda.

    It's a shame this movie didn't have a competent team behind the production. A Reagan movie directed by Ron Howard, like Frost Nixon would have been amazing.
    Reagan wasn't the best president but he was unique and had a interesting personal story, and his presidency coincided with one of the most tension filled and jubilant times of American history. A director that can handle nuances could make a great movie with that material without making Reagan into the Hero he wasn't.

    6:24 I always find it funny that Conservatives refuse to acknowledge George H.W Bush when talking about the Cold War. He was the last president during the Cold War era and they still say Reagan was the last Cold War era president even if he was the second to last president in the Cold War era. No, Reagan didn’t let the Berlin Wall fell (The Germans demolished it from both sides) and no, Reagan did not end the USSR. The USSR was already slowly falling apart due to the many reforms by Gorbachev, the Soviet-Afghan War, and the many other nationalist movements inside the USSR.
    Also, the director of this movie directed a lot of kids and family films including the Infamous Bratz movie from 2007 and some straight to television Disney films like the Suite Life movie and the Even Stevens Movie.

    Obviously the movie downplayed how he banned open carry in California because of the Black Panthers, his first wife Jane Wyman who divorced him because of his views, how Margaret Thatcher was far more domineering in their relationship between the US and the UK, and how he rebuffed Israel from entering Beirut so Mossad withheld intelligence about a possible attack that lead to the Marine barracks bombing in 1983.

    I voted for the first time in 1980 (for John Anderson, actually) The night of the election was horrible. My roomates and I started drinking as the results rolled in. I then lived through the entire 8 year disaster of RR's presidency. I never understood his appeal, I never found him persuasive or charming or anything else his supporters called him.
    Did the movie even mention his first wife, Jane Wyman? I was disgusted by the hypocrisy of the "family values party" electing our first divorced president, after castigating Jimmy Carter over his "lusted in my heart" comment.
    In case it is not clear, I despised RR.

    It really bothers me that Dennis Quaid participated in a film that _venerates_ Reagan's indefensible promotion of the Hollywood Blacklist.
    How any actor in the modern age could enegage in Blacklist apologia is beyond me. Really disappointing.

    I'll never understand the constant praising of Reagan by conservatives. As a gay man myself, it absolutely disgusts me that he just completely ignored the AIDS epidemic. That along with his economic policy as well as funding the Mujahideen in Afghanistan makes him easily one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.

    • @dadever

      Funding comes from Congress, not the executive branch... and the biggest cheerleader for funding the Mujahideen was Charlie Wilson, a democrat house member from Texas who forced money down the throat of the CIA that they neither wanted nor asked for. Funny thing, facts are.
