The Pursuit (2019)
50% agree because one-sided
I can agree only 50% with Arthur Brooks because he did not talk about any issues of capitalism in the current USA. But it is a nice documentary to show why capitalist thinks capitalism is the best. It is too one-sided to good things about capitalism and problems of democratic socialism. So, it is better to watch together with Michael Moore's documentary "capitalism" to learn problems of capitalism and good things about democratic socialism.
Arthur Brooks says, "capitalism removes poverty, but capitalism fails without ethics when people always put themselves before other's needs. Real evil is not capitalism but selfishness for the love of money and discrimination which divides citizens. Handout of welfare does not make people happy. What makes people happy is the sense of "needed" by society. To be happy, people need to work for something to contribute to society. And also, people need to give back other people opportunities to contribute to society. That is how citizens can make a great country together. Poverty is when young people have no ambition."
Arthur criticizes Scandinavian's welfare, racism, and no-individualism culture by citing their words and "The Law of Jante": "over-ambition is bad," "don't think you are special."
Arthur praises current India and old America's economic growth, and he thinks people are happy in such a situation.
Will America be great if every American stop admiring democratic socialism? Will America be great if every American becomes an entrepreneur and works hard and gives back to others individually without government's regulation as Authur suggests? Can all current American have such chances without the government's intervention?
Didn't old America have a much smaller gap between the middle class and the top 2%?
Sometimes he seemed to be confused and contradicted to his ideology when he praises capitalism and criticizes democratic socialism. Dalai lama looked confused, talking with him too.
First Man (2018)
Disappointed
I loved Apollo 13 which gave me a lot of respect to astronauts in apollo13.
Considering Neil Armstrong is "the first man" to land on the moon, this movie had to be as good as or better than apollo13 :(
This movie did not introduce Neil Armstrong's great achievement for humankind we know. But it focused on his personal life which may not be accurate. Neil is dead and can not defend himself from that.
Je ne suis pas un homme facile (2018)
Simple and very powerful movie
As others wrote, I am also amazed how I did not notice that women are not equally respected as men, adjusting their life, thinking and behavior to male dominated world even in 2018 until I see the world by simply switching the gender in this movie. In this movie, women does look terrible treating men without equal respect, like an object, and dominating their life; which is quite normal in this world by just switching gender. In this movie, men have to worry about their looks than women, because men are valued mostly by their looks. It looks frightening and oppressed to live as a man in a female dominated world in this movie. It is also refreshing to see women live with their full potential and lead the world without social pressure and worrying about how men look at them in this movie. This movie is simple but an amazing eye opener and can put both women and men in each other's shoes to see the world.
