Generation Zero (2010)

SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Sadly Over-hyped

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The pentagon "lost" 6.5 trillion, that's right, with a 't' dollars. Never been accounted for. Know where it went? I saw it happen. For decades, the pentagon handed out DoD credit cards like they were a broken candy machine. The money went for furniture, entertainment, kegs of beer, pros, etc. Lots of small charges spread around tend to inflate that deficit you seem so worried about. We get the idea.Did you just "forget" about that government expenditure, Steve, or were you on that gravy train also? Did you use any DoD money to produce this piece of fiscal documentary?So, your new boss seems all interested in blowing trillions more on defense. Why is that, exactly?Just get out, you Marxist wannabe. "Breitbart" = "wide beard", and Karl Marx had the widest beard ever. We get it. Did you tell your new pal your political secret? Go polish Andrew's tombstone or get a job on Fox News or something more constructive than what you are doing, because you really haven't got a half a clue about anything remotely political or economic.

Disclaimer: I'm a former hedge fund guy.Did I see the crash coming? Yes, but barely. My fund, and a fund I represented, had mucho skin in game tied to domestic interest rates and LIBOR. So, I wanted...willed...all to be fine.Didn't work. 1/6 of all hedge funds crashed, and didn't cost the tax payers a penny. Like a noncompetitive mom&pop restaurant, they were correctly left to fail.Core of crash was three-pronged:1: Federal Reserve: They've created boom/busts for 100 years. How? Just as Soviets couldn't centrally plan the price of a pencil, wheat, or gold, no one on earth can correctly centrally plan the price of money.2: Federal Government: Goes back to the Community Reinvestment Act, forcing banks to lend to people, regardless of credit rating. Hey, I want ALL people to be rich. But, selectively punishing banks for not lending "enough" to certain racial groups is evil, anti-market, and proved to be, destructive. Banks love to lend...love it, and care not of one's race, gender, or sexual orientation. They absolutely do care if one can pay back a loan. Think I cared the race of my clients investing $5 million, $1 million, or even in my entry level fund, $250K? 3: Wall Street(creation of CDOs etc), rating agencies (rated garbage as "A"), and Fannie and Freddie (bought garbage mortgages,and therefore, encouraged them) played huge role in this mess too. But, without items 1 and 2, 3 would have been impossible.

I can tell by the above reviewers that this film made them angry. The fact that this film succeeded in making people angry, alone, lends it credence on at least SOME level. The claims made that this documentary is propaganda are common to pretty much all documentaries. All documentaries are propaganda even as they are almost never presented as such. This piece of filmmaking takes an approach that is both effective and entertaining while pushing its narrative down a track that is most interesting, indeed. I highly suggest you give it a look.After all, if folks are outraged by it, you can be sure that it has merit. Or, you could be as closed minded as some and use words of the false LEFT/RIGHT paradigm such as "right-wing" or "neocon" or "socialist" or "left-wing".The other option is for you to give the film a look and take from it what you believe to be truthful. That's what I did and I was very entertained. I even learned a little bit.

This is a right wing attack ad disguised as a documentary.There are no real facts presented, just the normal right wing rants about how everyone who doesn't agree with their view point is ruining the country.Democrats = communists,all regulations are strangling the business world,social programs are bleeding us dry, etc. At least they could have tried to make this interesting but no the constant attacks on everyone but Wall Street and so self righteous that after less than a quarter of the documentary it starts to grate on your nerves. Hippies, Godlessness, 50's mothers (women), Community Reinvestment Act, ACORN, too much regulation caused the 2008 crash! REALLY?!! If you don't think but follow along and believe all the right wing crap this film will appeal to you, otherwise don't bother watching this.
