Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei

I've watched several films recently, newest and old ones. 'Die Fetten Jahre sind vorbei' (also known as 'The Edukators') from Germany impressed me the most. I rented this DVD becasue of Daniel Brühl, on the left in the picture. He's also the one in 'Good Bye Lenin!', a really great film.

Okay, what is it about? The German title is translated into "your days of plenty are numbered." Hey, do you hate Capitalism somtimes? The rich are rich, and the poor are poor. Have you ever thought about having a revolution and change the world?

"Sure, things need improvement...Environmental protection, raising producer prices... But the system won't change."

"Why not? Yes, why not?"

"The nature of man is to want to be better than others. In every group, a leader emerges quickly. Plus, most people are happy only when buying something new."

"Happy? Think they're happy, Hardenberg? Look around. Get out of that company car... Walk on the street! Anyone look happy? Or more like scared animals? Look into their living rooms. All glued to the TV... Listening to chic zombies... Speaking of a happiness long gone.
Drive around town. You'll see all the filth, the overcrowding... The masses in department stores... Up and down, like robots on escalators. Nobody knows anybody. They think happiness is an inch away. But it's unreachable, because you stole it. That's how it is. You know perfectly well.
But I have news for you, executive... The system is overheated. We're just the forerunners. Your time is almost over. Swim in your shit technology, but others are full of rage. The rage of children living in slums, watching American action films. That's one part. Let's see... Mental illness is rising. Serial killers, shattered souls, senseless violence... You can't sedate them with game shows and shopping. The antidepressants won't work forever either. The people have had enough of your shit system."
