GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Alleytom I watched this for the first time today (Feb 2017) and it is a great movie, it gives an accurate accounting of why we are where we are here in America right now. This is why Trump got elected, both the Democrats and Republicans aligned themselves with the wall street bankers and sold us (the middle class) out. The press was involved by not reporting the truth about what was going on with sub prime mortgages because the banks were being forced to loan money to people who were not creditworthy. According to the movie the disintegration of our culture is the root cause of our current situation, I would take the spoiling of American children in the 1950s as the direct cause with a grain of salt, but the events portrayed in the movie from the 1970s to present are accurate. I highly recommend you take the time and watch it, too bad it is not shown in schools.
tcziifle For all those who felt this film is just more right wing propaganda based on zero facts, I would appreciate their individual explanations calling out who, what, when, where, how and why we are now facing our "fiscal cliff" and potential economic meltdown.It is one thing to scream "propaganda" from a shallow emotional perspective however; without providing some intelligent facts to reasonably explain your opposite viewpoint or perspective, you just appear to parroting back a completely uninformed response of "No, that's not it!" Please explain what you know factually - not emotionally - are the root causes of our fiscal cliff and potential economic meltdown.
Gary Smith I usually enjoy documentaries. I want to know what caused the financial crisis of 2008. Books like "When Genius Failed," "The Big Short," and "Liar's Poker," really shed light on Wall St's ugly side and the tricks they used to engineer the collapse of 2008. Unfortunately this garbage of a documentary largely fails at explaining anything but instead injects completely biased opinions ranging from Godlessness, to Saul Alinsky as reasons for our economic despair. REALLY?!! This film covers the usual right wing Kool Aid topics like, Hippies, Godlessness, 50's mothers (women), Community Reinvestment Act, ACORN, too much regulation, you've heard all this garbage before on Youtube commentaries but this movie lumps it them in one long propaganda film. The non stop music starts to grate on your nerves and is a shameless attempt to manipulate your emotions. Unfortunately morons will use this film as an echo chamber to their already warped sense of what is happening in this world.
radeckie Wow, i've never seen such a ridiculous piece of right-wing propaganda in my life. With a straight face, they actually try to make the case that the 2008 financial crash was the fault of...get this... 1960s hippies. Yes, you heard me correctly, it was The LIBRULS!!11!!!!!1 The crash didn't happen because of deregulation, corruption and financial deepening - no, it was because Americans lost their 'morals' and began consuming conspicuously. that's right. the consumer's fault. we did this. oh, and the democrats, of course.....and the Chinese for some reason.This is a sad attempt to say that this wasn't capitalism's fault - that it was a perversion of capitalism with too much government intervention.
