Not Exactly A Film Review: “Sound of Freedom”

I tried to watch “Sound of Freedom” on July 4 but the theater was sold out.

I caught a matinee on July 8.

People voiced the concern that the movie might be too graphic or too disturbing. I voiced the concern that I might get suckered into a docudrama.

Understand, I like fiction movies and I like documentaries but docudramas are another matter. Docudramas have their place and that place is television. People should not be charged to view a docudrama.

The movie is NOT a docudrama. It is entertaining with enough stealth, stunt, and chase to satisfy the popcorn eater. Hero. Resistance. Tension. Conflict. MacGuffin. Detailed sets. Great acting. Check all the boxes. 

James Caviezel performs a lecture as the credits roll. He addresses child trafficking and I found it unusual, but it was brief and viewers seem to like it. What seemed strange to me is that Caviezel complimented the audience for their bold action in viewing his movie.

Understand, I am a big, big fan of creative marketing even when I am the mark. “The Sound of Freedom” promoters sold us on “doing our part’ while sticking it to Disney and sticking it to Hollywood and sticking it to the Man, too, I guess.  Sit there for two hours, munch on some overpriced Jujyfruits,  and the official scorer will credit you with an assist in the battle against child exploitation. Not quite stolen valor but possibly the same zip code.

All in all, a great movie that will please both the tweed coat and the knuckle dragger, the righteous as well as the indifferent. One measure of a good movie is how much chatter it generates. By this standard, “Sound of Freedom” is a blockbuster.

A rule of thumb I have expressed before: Tell me what is suppressed and I will tell you what is probably true. I am tempted to put “vast, high-reaching child sex network” conspiracies in the same circular file that contains flat Earth or Biden clones or Quantum Financial System material. Counter that position with the content producers who were chased off of YouTube after discussing pedophile networks. Counter that with the Pizzagate pundits who have been banished from social media. Counter that with MSM hacks railing against “QANON conspiracies”.  I can’t prove the crime but I can prove the coverup. 

Proving the coverup does not prove the crime but it should prompt us to reexamine the alleged crime. This brings us to this interesting clip from the most trusted name in news.

On The Sound of Freedom, CNN says child sex trafficking is real, but "these films are created out of moral panics... it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings." Do you want more QAnon because this is how you get more QAnon. pic.twitter.com/IsIRWVp1X3

I should credit Patrick Gunnels with mentioning the absurdity of trotting out a guy named Rothschild to attack baseless conspiracy theories. And even though I usually do not rag on people’s looks, this Rothschild gives off a major creep vibe. Remember, this network is an ongoing confirmation of rampant pedophile master conspiracies.

Who could forget this CNN producer who was sentenced to 19 years in prison for crimes involving a 9-year-old? 

Whereas most of Rothschild’s verbiage is an effort to divert the viewer from both “SoF” and Q, there are two points that deserve our attention. One, the statistics tossed around involving the number of slaves, trafficked children, dollar value of human trafficking, etc. Two, I hate to agree with Rothschild but he nailed the audience participation angle that I referenced earlier. Rothschild:

These films are created out of moral panics. They’re created out of bogus statistics. They’re created out of fear. And with something like Sound of Freedom, it specifically is looking at QAnon concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high-level elites and only people like Tim Ballard and only people like Jim Caviezel, and by extension, only people like the ticket buyer can help bring these trafficking rings down. So, there’s a very participatory element. You’re not just going to see a movie, you’re just killing two hours on a hot day. You are helping bring down these pedophile rings and save children. Now, it’s not true, but it’s a very comforting and it’s a very warm feeling to have.

“Sound of Freedom” has succeeded in raising awareness but we should also credit CNN, Rolling Stone, et al.  What subject deserves closer inspection?

1. The existence of unicorns? Not suppressed. Not worth examining.
2.  Flat Earth? Not suppressed. Not worth examining.
3. Quantum Financial System? Not suppressed. Not worth examining.
4. 9/11 Counter Conspiracies? Not suppressed. Not worth examining.
5. Biden Clones (And every other story that involves the Xeroxing of a grown person)? Not suppressed. Not worth examining.

We could add to this list, but that is enough for now. What is currently being suppressed? Child sex trafficking.  Insert Academy Award acceptance speech here: “I want to thank my agent…my wife…my Aunt Sophie…the citizens of Cartenega…and most of all, I would like to thank the most trusted name in news who validates our claims with their actions, both onscreen and off…

“Sound of Freedom”  5 stars out of 5. 

Don’t miss it!

Postscript: I saw the movie at a strip mall anchored by a grocery store. I went to the 4:20 showing so I was in the store at about 6:45 on a Saturday night. This is not a high-volume period for grocers. 

In the smattering of customers, I spotted a middle-aged man wearing a MAGA hat and a  black t-shirt that read “Kill  All Pedophiles” in white lettering. Naturally, I walked across the bakery section to ask him if he had just seen “Sound of Freedom”. He confirmed that he had been in the audience with me and we agreed that it was a good movie and I moved on to the express line. 

My fellow viewer caught up with me at the checkout and we discussed the film further, inviting our cashier into our brief conversation.

Two things struck me about this guy. First, he slightly resembled one of the pedos in the movie. Second, he seemed like he should have been fitted with a peasant’s pitchfork. I thought to myself, this is the face of the angry mob in 2023. If someone would have shouted out “Let’s storm the castle!” my MAGA friend would have led the charge. Perhaps I had been given a sneak preview of a coming attraction.
