kosmasp I would think that the people in the system are the ones that need saving - but that is more or less what the maker of this is suggesting anyway. It's not about saving "money" or just generally the system. It's about how people suffer under the current system. Now you could argue that this is politically motivated, even propaganda. It's a fair point to make. The good thing is, you can make up your mind and maybe have a couple more view points on certain things that are happening in your economy.It's interesting but it might not be the most thorough. It still is an interesting documentary and it does work as an insight look in what works or rather does not work at times. If it's an interesting subject to you, you will find something to hold onto and be excited about

billking6666 He acts as though our country is in the greatest crisis since the Great Depression, but it isn't. He left out the Vietnam War, the recession of 1978 to 1982, the S&L bailout of the late 1980's, the dot com bubble burst of the 1990's, the nonstop wars after 911, up until 2007 meltdown of the housing bubble. He did manage to mention that last crisis and how, as always, the rich got richer. He also had the balls to badmouth the Clintons, even though he introduced them to each other and was their Secretary of Labor during Bill's administration. He compared Sanders to Trump as being to only 2 options, but without any clear path he expected from either. One thing he did say that I liked was "How will today's kids, who become leaders, know how to run the country without the experience of a better era to gauge it by?" He not only forgets 90% of what is wrong with this country (crime?/riots?/Cop Killings?), but offers NO SOLUTIONS. Then he tells us he thinks we will somehow come out smelling like a rose and does a happy dance. Not worth the watch.

Hellmant 'SAVING CAPITALISM': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A documentary about capitalism in modern society, starring liberal politician Robert Reich. It was released by Netflix, through their streaming site, and it was directed by Sari Gilman and Jacob Kornbluth. The film title is also the name of Reich's new book, which he discusses continuously throughout the movie. I found the doc to be decently made, and somewhat informative. Reich speaks in front of multiple audiences (of all kinds of different people), about his book, and interviews several different individuals as well. He also speaks to several other politicians, addressing the major issues with capitalism today. He informs the viewers, through narration, about many of the corrupt ways our government does business too. The film also goes into Reich's history as a politician, professor and commentator. He served in President Gerald Ford's administration, as well as Jimmy Carter's, and he was also Secretary of Labor for Bill Clinton (from 1993 to 1997). So the guy is definitely an experienced politician.I usually agree with what Reich has to say, politically speaking, and I agree with most of what he says in this film. There are times I don't agree with him though, and I have a hard time respecting him after knowing how close he is to the Clintons. Still I think his views are mostly true, and seemingly come from passion and commitment to making the world a better place. So I did like this movie. It's a little like a Michael Moore film, but less funny, and not quite as effective or well made. You have to be a Robert Reich fan to enjoy it though, obviously.Watch a new episode of our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/xsOj7IhB5us

jellopuke Short and without any real ideas other than to say it's up to the young people to demand change, which is all well and good, but it would have been nice to have a few ideas beyond just saying "organize." If you aren't brainwashed or holding your head under the sand, then you should know the information presented about inequality and corporate control and the rise of authoritarianism so it's not going to blow anyone's mind, but it is welcome for those that might not know. His previous movie was more biting and hard hitting, this almost feels like a special feature follow up.
