I think Wikipedia has a halfway decent summary of the movie also just embellish that add some reworded comments from the movie on YouTube and you have your paper.

I disagree.. say the video was pretentious and those bunch of hippies talk nice and have a fine looking video.. but in the end the video doesn't give any details or financials how to accomplice the goals they want.. who is gonna pay for all the change they want.. in the end it will be average joe who picks up the bill.. but who is gonna "save our world" when your energy bill is 5 times as high..

But what's he doing this for? An english paper to show off his skills a lá high school in which mainstream in a way = good grades. Or is it a philosophical course?

I don't know. I just saw a lot of people tear up based on the comments and if I had to guess: I bet the teacher might've chosen that video because he/she loves it.
Think he'd score good if he shared that sentiment ;]

Or you know, it's actually a very good teacher that would grade fairly regardless. Those are rare nowadays from my experience. SUCKS2BEME

EDIT: Or wait, he claims he actually watched it twice. Well, if you can argue for your view then there's no problems at all to choose whichever. Why don't you just write that you didnt get the point because it was poorly told? XD

Well i  agree it's a bit of a trap video.. personally (part time teacher as my second job) I like my students that don't go with the easy flow and think for themselfs even when they are wrong.. i still grade them fairly..  anywat good luck to dsage!

25 critic reviews should be enough to figure out what it's about.
