The Big Fix

Slick production value raises this one slightly. It still seems repetitive and disjointed at times. This whole situation is one of the biggest bullshit clusterfucks in our history.

In terms of proving that the American democracy is morally bankrupt, 'The Big Fix' is just another brick in the wall, retreating much of the analysis done by such documentaries as 'Inside Job' and 'Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story'. In terms of environmentalism, wait for the first documentary about the Fukushima power plant to surface, and watch this, that and 'Plastic world'. You'll see that we are excellent caretakers of the oceans. Double thumbs up, mankind.

Documentary about the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and the totally inadequate response to it. The scale of the environmental disaster is routinely hidden and obfuscated by BP and our own government agencies. The real story seems to point to corruption and disregard for the environment and human health. The true scope of the problem may never be fully understood.

Informative and well researched documentary in the Michael Moore vein is also very entertaining (for such a dire and frightening tale); lays out its information in straight forward, understandable terms and even uses its 'guest star' Fonda in an amusing and enjoyable way. Ultimate truth in what the documentary reveals is troubling to say the least.

"By staking out only one side of the issue, The Big Fix inadvertently calls into question virtually every one of its contentions." - Nick Schager
