bladou I know, I know, that was a lame review title. Get over it.I could go on and on about these guys but the simple truth is : they are simply great people. As a regular dude, how many times do you find yourself watching TV filled with stuff you get sick of ? My lucky guess would be plenty and I'd be probably far off.Those two guys did funny pranks but the most brilliants ones are those you feel deserved by their targets. Some major company loose a ton of money because of a fake statement that would grant due money to workers in India. In the end, they hit where it hurts the most, money.And the beauty of this film isn't just the pranks, it's why it works in the world we live in. It doesn't mater if they bring a golden skeleton to describe profit over factory workers deaths, you realize that whatever they would bring, someone will be interested as long as it means money.They might be crazy but the people they meet during fake presentations are sick, and they are powerful people. Thats world business grotesque at it's best for you.I'd definitively put this on "must watch" list if you happen to wonder our state of evolution sometimes, just to be sure.
alpha balla No Spoilers in this Review, because its a Must-watch & worth watching film.Some people calling the film consists of pranks, hoaxes! Then what u call something like the Great WMDs in Iraq, man landing on Moon!, Stock markets!....Since a long time I have been following all the GREAT news channels, all their Breaking News etc... In the Hope that may be one day I may be able to hear a GOOD Breaking News.But, I realized that it will never happen. The Media is a Stage for Jokers called Politicians and all the Hypocrites, to engage the People in their worthless bulletins saying the they will Save Mother Nature, Planet Earth and Make the entire Universe a Great Place to live in with All Smiling faces around!! People, wake up to Reality.I watched many Documentaries on Capitalism, Environmental, Political issues & many Conspiracy theories! But, The Yes Men Fix the World (2009) is Above all of them.... Its the Truth.I was on the edge of my seat watching this film. It is very Informative, thought provoking & Entertaining.
Niklas Pivic Despite the fact that some people seem to feel that it is cruel to state that Dow Chemical accepts full responsibility for the Bhopal catastrophe, or that HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) wants to give former inhabitants of houses in New Orleans back their apartments, the affected people don't seem to think so. They're happy that people bring attention to their problem, and doing so by adding humor to it is often what is needed in a dour political climate such as these examples show, when multi-national corporations rule international business and - indeed - politics for most part.Much like Bill Hicks showed us, adding humor as spice often brings attention to the facts. The Yes Men were sharper in their previous film, but this one is still very valid as they continue to show the dangers of a free market taking over interests only to make as much money for their shareholders as is possible, not existing in the interest for the state at all.
Rindiana The Yes Men are back... and this time, their leftist guerrilla tactics prove much more effective than the first time around: The cinematic presentation is more professional, the pace is much livelier, the pranks are more elaborate and there is more additional background information and emotional resonance.Still, some of the hoaxes remain childish and some new aspects on globalization bashing would be welcome, but all in all it's more than watchable stuff. (And the final stunt involving a famous newspaper is wonderful.) 7 out of 10 gilded skeletons
