Miscellaneous Movie Musings

The moral of the movie as I saw it:

Poor people will be content with their lot (while being absolute ****s to each other) so long as there is a (almost literally) one shot in a billion of becoming suddenly wealthy. Also, love makes misery ok.

The movie is well made and not bad at all. But it didn't work for me and I don't think it a great movie. There was an article at Slate a couple weeks back that perfectly captured my feelings about the movie. My answer to the question in the subtitle of the article is D.
