Dreamers dreaming: Dream on. Not a good job and way too leftist to work.

Beautiful, beautiful...

A capitalism returning to the social, aiming at social assistance and not just profit, the best of all worlds, the kind of documentary that leaves our hearts warm, and the certainty of better days, and that hope and every struggle for the sake of others will not it will be in vain... I even got in touch with Banco Pearl to get information on how to invest in them to help them, beautiful, beautiful... For more kind souls and spirits of light on earth...

Contemporary neo-liberal propaganda film

[guisreis · 2/10 · 17 June 2021]

I was naive to think, while watching the first part on blind surgery in India, that it could be a serious documentary on welfare state. It is not. It is an unconsistent mix of independent and unrelated segments composing a sly propaganda film. The idea here is to convince that it is possible to have a capitalism that is not destructive: a capitalism that may make rich people have profit by making something that help the poor without really caring about them. There is a general speech, which only becomes clear as the film advances, in favour of market and against the state. There is no real concern about changing society, but only in making capitalism less vulnerable to be easily criticized and open to New ways of making money. The main interviewee in the second segment, about homeless in Brazil, has the most hateful quotes.
