Money is everything

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2007)

I loved it because you can really engross yourself in the film... but also look at it as an outsider. The story acts as a litmus for an atypical couple that get wound up in the emerging American status anxieties. This sort of thing reminds me of my English projects in high school.
It also accounts for an economical discussion about taxes versus safety nets.
For all those commerce people out there, I'd rate it as economics on an emotional scale. Love economics. i.e. The consequence when the increase in work does not reflect in a greater marginal increase in 'utility'. This movie is a must watch for people like me who do believe in the power of money.
