I thoroughly enjoyed this mock-documentary. I have chosen to review it after reading some of the reviews that completely missed the point.
The movie truly shows how the incredibly rich and powerful people rule the United States. All of the acting is staged, and shown to be this way throughout the movie.
I wish it was a satire about how the U.S.A. is run, but it is one of the truest accounts out there.
I watched Oprah the other day, and the topic involved Class structure and rule in society...and I told my wife about this film, since it does a far better job explaining what the different class structures are.
It truly comes down to the super-rich, and the rest of us. I have a very good job, and make a fantastic living financially, and can pretty much do whatever I please without money being any type of issue. However, I am much closer to the bottom of the ladder than the top, no matter how much designer crap I buy...or vacations I take...or homes I own. On the surface it may look like I have a lot more, but in reality I am in the same boat as everyone else.
This movie shows how dramatically different the 99% of us live to the 1%...so different most people are completely clueless, and will miss the point of this movie entirely.
As far as the quote Lapham gives...he's not the perfect actor, but people can use those quotes to understand what America's ruling Class truly thinks and believes.
This movie is well worth seeing.
