Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

carsteniq I found this documentary quite good even it touches or addresses only the symptoms of the monetary system.For sure it demonstrates a true state of how things go in the world and the dangerous mind sets some people have develop. They went through a dramatic value shift and they want more and more to control without any consideration to humans and nature. I live in a third world country and see for sure the parallel occurrences.Most people do not confront them sufficiently with the monetary system, especially if they benefit greatly from it like North Americans and Europeans do. It always comes as a surprise to see such a movie coming from those camps.People aren't aware that money isn't created by Governments; it comes from private banks. Worse! They do not understand that all money is dept money and don't see the direct relationship between wealth and dept creation. Most people aren't even aware of the destructive dynamics of interests and compound interests. They are very important topics to be understood and addresses, especially the consequences they have. They have been hidden and declared taboo topics for the public and this for generations.

er_monnezza If you expect a serious documentary this film will greatly disappoint. The film is mainly composed of a series of out of context comments from different people and of how the western world exploits developing countries.I have never seen a more populistic film than this one made after 1945. All it does is try to make people feel bad about the third world and announce the end of capitalism. Anybody with a basic understanding of economics will see through this 'documentary' and recognize the film's left wing agenda.It's too bad. This film could have been good. With sticking to facts relevant to the banking system and thorough research and knowledge of the economic sector they could have made a great documentary. Instead, all they do is try to scare the 'small man' who doesn't know much about economics.And come on, bashing capitalism in these times of recession is sooo original...

maurice_anemaat Excellent documentary without any disturbing biases. Although not unravelling the question where the bank-money goes to, the used examples are diverse and relevant to the gap issue between the west and the 'emerging countries'.I got to agree though this might be a movie hard to watch, as moderate knowledge of economic terms are needed in order to enjoy and keep up with the story. Also, the connections between the different scenes weren't obvious. Although it all had to do with money and investors, the link between them were vague and not chronological. This tended to be dragging down the movie: you could sense people were waiting for the final scene, as they couldn't figure out which one would be it.I liked the way how globalisation as subject was captured by filming in all these locations, showing how it applies to all these people.

borkoboardo It isn't a good idea to send ahead that i fell asleep twice while being at the movies watching this film.The good things first: Yes, this movie explains the unfairness of modern international trading policies. It shows up the direct contrast between rich and poor countries and how this condition is perceived from both sides. Those who make money almost seem to apologize for their actions but on the other hand don't really feel guilty because "that's the way it is".In a very simple and direct way the foundations of the current financial crisis are explained, and even I "kinda" understood how this disaster was made possible now. Yes, it is very frustrating and it just shows how irresponsibly our money is being treated by the banks or whoever else we negotiate about our money with. Unfortunately there is something wrong with the flow of this movie. I don't understand a lot of segments, particularly the "impression scenes". This seems to have become typical for Austrian documentary filmers - to just let the camera roll, catch whatever just happens (which is mostly nothing) and edit it together as an "eternal misery scene". Whereas in documentaries of the last years the statements are edited together so obviously to save time, "Let's make money" takes its time to let people talk, and THIS can be nerve wrecking. Some interviewees are very old and therefore talk VERY slow, so it might take some time until the full sentence is over and when it's said it's very likely that you forgot how it began. As much as I treasure the content of the film I must admit that I found it extraordinarily boring and hard to watch. I don't know why directors or editors want to test their audience by presenting a film that appears "half done". But I am sure that this one will earn tons of prizes for the very hot topic and the "unconventional film-making". I for myself have seen way more accessible documentaries that are more informative and don't appear like they would try to be a piece of art.Conclusion: Great topic/content, very poor presentation!
