No one in their right mind would suggest war as moral way out of an economic downturn.  (But it could easily be argued that productivity stimulated by World War II brought the U.S. out of the depression that FDR's New Deal just prolonged.)

[quote=mario72]You wrote some many above, but about the movie just these words ?[/quote]
Responding to a film's message is as valid as responding to a film's technical aspects which in this case had already been commented on plenty.

[quote=Night Owl][quote=HarrisWhistles]There seems little hope amongst people who are savvy about finances that the "stimulus" bill will do much good at all, probably even do more long-term harm than good.[/quote]
I haven't gotten that impression at all. I agree that it's imperfect, but I disagree that there is widespread opposition to it. [/quote]
If financial analysts were at all optimistic about the real, long-term benefits of the stimulus bill, the market slides would not be picking up speed after its passage as they currently are.

[quote=Night Owl][quote=HarrisWhistles]Hints in the news today of Obama wanting to raise taxes on the wealthiest will further discourage the entrepreneurial spirit and as a result, hinder job creation.[/quote]
That's odd; I heard on the radio this morning that he intends to keep the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy until they naturally expire in 2010. [/quote]
That's only 1 year away, and letting them expire amounts to a tax hike on those who would be most likely to start a business and employ people.  I also saw a news story that threatened more tax increases on the wealthiest for the purpose of reducing the deficit.

[quote=Night Owl]IMO, what's happening right now is nothing more than an indication that the trickle-down economic policies of the last administration have been a failure.[/quote]
I'm afraid I don't see the connection between trickle-down economics and the current corruption of our economic system by junk mortgages.  If anything, Clinton policies forced banks to write risky mortgages for applicants who normally wouldn't have gotten such mortgages by promising Federal backing of those bad loans through Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae.  Gov't interference in the market (forcing banks to make bad loans) caused the crash.  The moral of the story is that the gov't cannot really change the market, it can only delay and thereby intensify the pain of the inevitable corrections to the market that will follow.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Sadly for most of our parents' and grandparents' retirement funds, the Dow Jones and other markets have done the opposite from what this film hopes since Obama was elected and inaugurated.  There seems little hope amongst people who are savvy about finances that the "stimulus" bill will do much good at all, probably even do more long-term harm than good.   Hints in the news today of Obama wanting to raise taxes on the wealthiest will further discourage the entrepreneurial spirit and as a result, hinder job creation.  With Obama's first faltering steps, my only remaining hope is that he will face economic and market realities, learn from what's worked in the past and become pragmatic so as to overwhelm his ideological commitments to higher taxes, bigger government and more gov't hand-outs. 

But really cool film, well made and VERY impressive for a 24-hour production.]]></content>

together,

i just go by train 
to the steinekuMpels of nichtgedreht
early in the morning ... and have no idea, 
what is coming in the next hours.
but after we get the theme and we discuss,
what we will filM, yes, there was a feeling,
we are on the right way, nothing more.
i leave them before the filM was ready,
and just sort all there bricks ...,
but i know, they will do it well,
all pictures has been shot
and only the music must be taken to them.

a few days later i watch on youtube
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsyLqS31Pqg[/url]
ok, 1.000 visitors ... but in a few ours,
there are 4.000.
well, the filM go arround the world,
without being on the frontpage of youtube
and whereever i find our filM,
the people like this way.

in france they like our short aniMation,
they steal it
[url]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x82q6p_lego-yes-we-can_news[/url]
and show it in the breakfeast tv show
without asking us ...
[url]http://telematin.france2.fr/index-fr.php?page=vod&dateVOD=20090120[/url]
after 1h and 26 minutes.

we make a small list,
where they posted our filM
[url]http://brickboard.de/viewtopic.php?p=23343#23343[/url]
and i think, that is great.

today there are more than 30.000 views
and a lot of feedback without a question to us.

it s very interesting to read,
what they all see in a filM
with no story,
but the audience tell.

i like
the w3.

fun and sun

[quote=Schlockading] I'm not sure if you noticed, but you spelled it "Dow Jonas" on the stock market scene[/quote]

Actually we wanted to make sure that there is a mod element everywhere, so we decided to change it. I know, there is already the yellow and the red brick connected, but it's safer this way. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!
