I believe the critics are very dumb for giving this movie a "thumbs down." In fact they are "jerks!" This was a very inspiring... movie. It is not for the normal movie goer; but it is true and real. The people clapped when it ended. WHAT MORE CAN I SAY BUT SEE IT FOR YOURSELF Full Review

Saw it today, liked it a lot, and will drag someone else with me when I go again, which I intend to. That the critics, whose opinions make or break... films, seem almost unaminously down on it is very curious indeed. I would urge anyone who wonders why the world is such a mess to see this film. It's not perfect, ********* way better than the reviews I've seen and chock full of stuff worth thinking about. Full Review

3-STARS CAN'T GIVE IT 5-STARS BECAUSE THE MOVIE WAS A 3 BUT THE SCRIPT IDEA/THE SUBJECT MATTER, IS DEFINITELY 5-STARS. I AGREE, A... uot; IS UNDERWAY; AMERICANS WILL CRITICIZE CAPITALISM (BUT NOT TO MAKE IT COMMUNISM OR EVEN SOCIALISM BUT MAYBE TO REDEFINE \"SOCIALISM\"), SOMETHING LIKE THAT. BUT PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF \"VULGAR (USELESS) WEALTH\". AMERICANS HAVE MORE THAN A HUNDRED BILLIONAIRES, IF MEMORY SERVES ME RIGHT, AND SOME OF THOSE BILLIONAIRES ARE SO BY HUGE NUMBERS LIKE 60 AND 90 BILLION. BUT AMERICANS MAY NOT HAVE SAID A WORD ABOUT THAT BUT TO BE VULGARLY RICH AND THEN STILL ABSCOMB WITH THE PEOPLE'SE MONEY; OH YEAH, IT IS TIME FOR A MOVEMENT IF NOT A FULL-BLOWN REVOLUTION. REMEMBER WHAT MR. OBAMA TOLD THE CORRUPT CEOs WHEN THEY CAME TO WASHINGTON: \"WE DO NOT MIND THAT YOU ARE RICH, WE MIND THAT YOU MAKE US POOR IN THE PROCESS.\" THIS MOVIE ADDRESSES THAT AND THE EXPERTS COME OUT WITH A CONCLUSION HERE THAT HUMAN ANATOMY HAS IT THAT HUMANS WILL WORSHIP KINGS AND BASICALLY GIVE THEM ALL OF THEIR MONEY...SOMETHING LIKE THAT. THIS IS TO SAY THAT SOME PEOPLE WANT MONEY AND WILL DO ALL THE THINGS NECESSARY TO GET IT... AND, BY FAR, ALL \"THE RICH-WANTING PEOPLE\" HAVE TO DO IS ASK THE WORKING CLASS FOR THEIR MONEY OR SELL THEM A SHINY TRINKET. THIS MOVIE SUGGEST THAT \"THE MIDDLE CLASS\", THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT WOULD, COULD AND DOES...WAS PROMPTED BY THE RICH TO SPEND, SPEND, SPEND AND THE PROFITS GO IN THEIR POCKETS NOT OUR ECONOMY. THIS MOVIE IS WORTH SEEING; I WILL SEE IT MORE THAN ONCE WITH DIFFERENT FRIENDS BUT A BETTER MOVIE HAS TO COME OUT ON THIS SUBJECT. [LET IT BE KNOWN] OFTEN...A RICH AND SUCCESSFUL PERSON WILL DO A \"MEDIA BLITZ\" ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS AFTER THEY'VE HAD A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE. SO, HIS DESIRE TO DO THIS SUBJECT MATTER IS NOT STRANGE. IT IS COMMON. I FOUND THERE WAS JUST TOO MUCH IDEALISM IN THE OPINIONS OF THESE EXPERTS AND ICONS; NATURE WAS MADE WITH EVIL IN IT, NEGATIVE POLARIZED ENERGY, BUT THE EXPERTS AND ICONS SEEM TO BE CLEARLY SAYING THAT \"LOVE\" WILL CONQUOR ALL BUT I DON'T AGREE; EVIL IS A PART OF NATURE, A PART OF LIFE, BUT HOW YOU DEAL WITH EVIL SEEMS TO BE THE POINT. EVIL AGAINST EVIL...TO SOLVE AN EVIL PROBLEM: WELL NOW, A BIT OF EVIL,YEAH, BUT THEN MORE PEACE, A HANDSHAKE AND BROTHERHOOD....SEEMS TO BE THE FORMULA. (DON'T FORGET THE EVIL ATROCITIES OUR COUNTRY BEARED TO \"RISE\": GENOCIDE HOLOCAUST OF THE nATIVE aMERICANS, SLAVERY WITH MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS FROM THE AFRICAN POPULATION AND A CIVIL WAR THAT TOOK 600,000 EURO=-WHITES AND SOME MORE PEOPLE. YES, IT IS TIME FOR US TO TALK. THE PEOPLE IS THE POWER IN OUR COUNTRY. LET'S MAKE THAT SO. MARGARET OPINE Full Review
