This was my favorite film of SIFF. It will really give you perspective on the current economic crisis and shed some light on the disparity happening on Capitol Hill, in Seattle, and elsewhere.

I saw the trailer for the film. It’s laughable. It’s basically taking all the personal failures/responsibility of people not to invest well, or save enough money, or get a degree that lands a well-paying job and puts that blame on wealthy people and “society”, just anywhere but themselves. That’s just silly. The only people who will go see it are the choir as in preaching to the choir.

I have to disagree. The movie advocates equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. Anyone’s personal failings are their own, but when laws and regulations overwhelmingly favor those who already have amassed wealth and power, it takes away the average American’s chance at upward mobility. There are many jobs that are essential that don’t receive the kind of pay that people in finance and engineering do. How can we expect consumer demand to drive our economy when hard-working families don’t make enough to buy more than the absolute essentials, much less save or invest?

Actually the movie uses historical data and facts to point out the fact that we’re not working with a level playing field and the odds are stacked against the average person. You shouldn’t judge a whole movie just by a trailer, and Robert Reich is a well-respected economist who does his research. You should at least attempt to do the same by watching the whole thing before condemning his viewpoint.
