Review

one of the best documentaries of the last 10 years. it’s sprawling and ambitious, which means it’s on the long side, but it’s entertaining and highly informative. when the worst thing about a documentary is the fact that it’s packed with almost too much information, you know it can’t be bad. it gives the libertarian view and we hear from many former and current corporate slaves, instead of just academics or intellectuals; though there are plenty of those as well. the film uses a shit load of stock footage from instructional videos and old films to visually illustrate terms like externalities or make a point more humorous. i also liked the narrator and the music.
