I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The documentation really highlights how coperate america has taken over the politcal system in the last 20 years. However, it is sometimes rather superficial. For example, there are no case examples on how the lobbying is done and his solution: what we need is active citizens is certainly true, but he could have pointed how it would be best to get involded. For anyone who doubts that the system is borken, this movie is a must.

This is not a documentary. It was labeled as documentary for the lack of a better term. It is a long advertorial. And if you are convinced you can buy, of course. A short white old man talking about his short white old point of view. Of course, this is not Al Gore or Leo DiCaprio, but he still has a good life with his sermons. A white bearded Mighty Mouse to save his flavor of capitalism. At least putting his underwear over his custom made pants would have made him more interesting.Contact me with Questions, Comments or Suggestions ryitfork @ bitmail.ch

He acts as though our country is in the greatest crisis since the Great Depression, but it isn't. He left out the Vietnam War, the recession of 1978 to 1982, the S&L bailout of the late 1980's, the dot com bubble burst of the 1990's, the nonstop wars after 911, up until 2007 meltdown of the housing bubble. He did manage to mention that last crisis and how, as always, the rich got richer. He also had the balls to badmouth the Clintons, even though he introduced them to each other and was their Secretary of Labor during Bill's administration. He compared Sanders to Trump as being to only 2 options, but without any clear path he expected from either. One thing he did say that I liked was "How will today's kids, who become leaders, know how to run the country without the experience of a better era to gauge it by?" He not only forgets 90% of what is wrong with this country (crime?/riots?/Cop Killings?), but offers NO SOLUTIONS. Then he tells us he thinks we will somehow come out smelling like a rose and does a happy dance. Not worth the watch.

How our government and our economy work have a profound impact on every American family. Over the past 40 years, we've gone from being a society in which our gains were broadly shared, to being one in which a few privileged elites get the lion's share of any progress we make.We're producing twice as much wealth -- PER PERSON -- as we were in the mid 1970's. Sadly, much of this wealth has been hijacked and redirected to the wealthiest and most powerful among us. In this film, Robert Reich explains, pretty clearly, how and why this has happened.If you don't understand exactly what's happened -- and what's CONTINUING to happen -- then you need to see this film. Yes, it's a documentary. Documentaries aren't as exciting as the latest big box-office smash hit. But even if you need to watch it in pieces, watch it. Because our very future is at stake, and understanding where we are at is key to preserving or regaining it.Others have rightly noted that Reich doesn't present a lot of solutions here. "Get involved" is a bit simplistic, but still, it's the first step. And a very necessary one.One step forward that I would recommend would be to connect with an organization called "Represent Us" (you can find them on the web.) In spite of the lack of "action steps," I give this a 10 out of 10 for the importance of raising people's awareness of how our system is rigged. We can't move forward if we don't know what the game is.
