What makes it different from others?

Some things I liked some I did not.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I watched this valuable piece of film many times. It isn't the usual type of documentary you see everyday. It mixes music (most electrical style) and short comments and speeches about the western consume nature and capitalism. It is somehow enjoyable to watch which makes the information easier to understand and remember. One peak is the satiric presentation of the "G8 World shop". You will see some video pieces of the worlds politicians remixed, edited and cut to a background comment. Very funny and very serious at the same time.Besides the documentary "The Corporation" from Michael Moore, it's the most accessible documentary regarding this Problem which affects us all. Do yourself a favor and watch it. 10/10

Yes, it tries to deliver its message of anti-capitalism. But it does it by repeating scenes over and over again (it makes you wonder if they didn't film enough or had to pad the movie to extend it's run time because of a lack of money/footage or both). It feels more like the film is trying to force its message onto you until you say uncle.Most of the scenes are un-narrated (and un-translated). This leaves the viewer lost and confused. Huh? What do these people in this segment have to do with anti-capitalism? The transitions between scenes could use some help here. The editing is horrible. The film goes from one scene to the next without any sort of explanation to the viewer. Okay, there are people rioting. Um, what is it that they're rioting over? Why are they rioting? In the end, the film's message of anti-capitalism is cluttered/muddled because of bad film editing/direction. The reason is never backed up by any sort of substance or fact. Thus, it makes this movie appear more like a propaganda film than a documentary about anti-capitalism.It's awful. Don't waste your time on this film. Go watch the corporation documentary; it's much more informative and well made. I only give it a 3 because it is somewhat thought provoking (if you can get over the constant repeated scenes and repeated dialogues).

After watching this, I am not quite sure what the real message of it is. On one hand they manage to show how we have absurdly huge amounts of stuff and we are very wasteful... while on the other they show the bad conditions in Cuba and the insanity of the guy preaching that we have to damage property to get our point across. So, are we supposed to be jealous of Cubans? I think not. Are we supposed to become criminals for the cause? I think not. There were a few entertaining clips like when the Microsoft guy is freaking out with his crazy jumping and screaming... what an ass! Anyway, if you like documentaries that look like MTV music videos (edited like one) with repetitive techno music and hardly any content, check this out.

This documentary was a bit disappointing. Very similar to "Lucky People Center International" from 1998, only more repetative and less imaginative. Maybe that is because Johan Söderberg was co-director on both of them?The movie deals with consumption, for me a very interesting subject. It was no suprise that this movie held a critical stance towards capitalism and consumerism, as that kind of view is very politically correct and trendy nowadays in Sweden. However, to my disappointment, the movie really doesn't contain much fact or discussion at all - some nice looking images with good-sounding music are shown, some of them repeated over and over again. While this was used in a good way in "LPCI", where it created a nice flow between the different scenes, here it just becomes... repetative.Conclusion: If you don't have much to say, better to shut up.4/10
