Watch Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth For Free

hyped garbage

Good concept, poorly executed.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Horrible self loathing hypocritical socialist movie assigned by self righteous egomaniac university professor, proving that those that can do, those that can't teach. Self proclaimed experts who question everything and stand for nothing. Arrogantly claiming self righteousness as they enjoy the freedoms that I fought for. Disgusting! OK I need 10 lines for a review so let me add that anyone who is interested in how the world economy really works should read Atlas Shrugged or Road to Serfdom If you are ignorant enough to enjoy this may I suggest Idiocracy and some very serious self examination. Seriously this is a really stupid movie. Grinding America down would be a much better use of your time.

Two hours of my life I can never get back. Almost feel bad for these self-important people who are trying to justify their own success. Would almost be funny if I wasn't fully aware that many will buy into the crap in this movie. Trying to make people who have less or have nothing feel that it is okay, it wasn't their fault. They had no control over the outcome of life. These are obviously people with out faith in a creator and are to self absorbed to even consider that there is a God. While there are a few moments of truth in the movie ( the fact that we often create the "stories" of our history to portray what we want) those moments are few and far between. Don't waste your time.

Just when I think the right wing has a corner on the market on silliness, I run across a movie like this that reminds me that silliness knows no political affiliation. This is truly one of the funniest (unintentionally) movies I have watched in some time. I am proud I had the stomach to see it through. Howard Zinn asserting that he is proudly biased, then claiming objectivity. Assertions that Britain has participated in the deaths of 10 million people and that it is in the same league as Stalin, but we just don't recognized it because we are blinded by patriotism. These academics and journalists are a testament to the tolerance of western democracies, God bless them (as they say in the southern US). Please watch this and be reassured that we are all crazy.

Made me think and use my brain for a second. What I got out of this is that I need to Question more. Why? I think we question a lot of things as a child, and then we just STOP questioning. I don't know why that happens? We need to still question. Just because we are taught something doesn't mean it is right. I will question myself and others more often. I will be more patient answering my children's questions, but encourage them to seek out their own answers. I want to explore so much more. I guess I can say I'm blessed with being a female and being raised in the United States of America. I've been trained to think that way. I don't think the documentary will save the world or the human race, but it will make people think. Sometimes that is a step in the right direction.
