6. The Edukators
"See? No matter what we do, change can't happen," your friend frowned inconsolably as he was profoundly crushed at the end of The Edukators. "Actually," you pointed out, "The true cut of the film shows a completely different ending" "You just can't outsmart the system. Capitalism by nature absorbs protest and dissent and can't change. Guys like Hardenberg protested when they were younger but now work for the system, the very system they fought against when they were younger. Because protest and dissent can be commoditized as styles or products to sell within the current system in stores like Hot Topic, the First World just can't improve, only add to itself. Even the fact that this movie got made is a paradox, because it had to use capitalist methods to be produced and distributed." But thankfully, within a day The Edukators made your friend think about the Ocean's Trilogy which cleared all of that inner turmoil right up.
