A Good Effort, Perhaps Too Late
22 March 2014
I have become so cynical politically. I watched this and began to think, "OK. Another dose of reality for the powerless to absorb. I agree with Robert Reich but wonder where it will all end. The Koch brothers are down there buying political candidates (as are some of the liberal moneybags) and the middle class is being sold down the river. Instead of engaging the government, the Tea Party wants to end big government (ain't gonna happen) and there is more fragmentation all the time. We see those who oppose us (whatever side we're on) as our enemies. Do people realize that we are kind of set up for the new French Revolution? It probably doesn't matter because in about a hundred years we will deplete our resources and half the populated parts of our country will be flooded. Most interesting in this film was the shift of the 70's where women began to "have" to work, the extension of the workday (as well as second jobs) and the borrowing (second mortgages, etc.) have led us down this road. I see there are some single star reviews. This is the ridiculous effort to somehow diminish the rating of a film like this. The film makes many valid points and whether your in the pocket of the plutocrats or not, there is a lot to learn before it is too late.
