Subject: Mandatory Viewing
I can't get across how important this film is.
Well researched, entertaining use of archive footage and the cold hard facts about why it's right to be cycnical about capitalism. The marketeers are fighting an anti-humanitarian dis-information war. This is a good place to start for people who want to build their defences.
Be warned, if you live in a bubble, prepare yourself for a wake up call.

Talk about peeling the onion.

Curtis slowly and methodically shows us how
the teachings of Freud and his theories influenced
and then were employed by corporations and
governments to manage society.

A stunning revelation that makes you wonder
how really free we are.

Subject: Good documentary/questionable quality
Anyone have a better-quality version of this series? Like "The Power of Nightmares," this is a history lesson that every American should see.

Subject: Mr. Curtis - Best Writer and Poducer!
As a marketing professional in the 21st Century and a political watcher, I thought this was one of the best documentaries I've ever watched. I loved pychology in high school and college, and believe I learned more about America, People and Politics with this documentary than I have in 45 years of education and growing up in this society. GREAT JOB!

What will our next controlling party do to control our society? Better yet what will they be able to accomplish for our country. If I were President, I'd first stick my fist down GM, Ford and other American automakers throat and ask them what the @%$#*& they've been doing for the last 50 years to develop a car that gets 98 mpg? And how come? Then I'd tell the Saudi's, Iran that my beliefs are based on turning my cheak, motivated by Global Peace and individual freedom and the persuit of happiness, but my motto is "Lock and Load!"
