Watch: Generation Wealth 2018 123movies, Full Movie Online – A documentary that investigates the pathologies that have created the richest society the world has ever seen..
Plot: Over the past 25 years, Lauren Greenfield’s documentary photography and film projects have explored youth culture, gender, body image, and affluence. In this fascinating meld of career retrospective and film essay, Greenfield offers a meditation on her extensive body of work, structuring it through the lens of materialism and its increasing sway on culture and society in America and throughout the world. Underscoring the ever-increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots, her portraits reveal a focus on cultivating image over substance, where subjects unable to attain actual wealth instead settle for its trappings, no matter their ability to pay for it.

Less than stellar editing makes the completed film less than the sum of its (very compelling) parts
Most of it is really interesting, but the way subjects are strung together is a bit sloppy at times, most noticeably during a very jumbled second half.It’s frustrating, because there are few scenes on their own that are boring or poorly made- it just suffers when it comes to editing, because the whole ends up feeling less than the sum of its parts.
Still, if you can get past that, there’s some very interesting points raised, and it’ll probably get you thinking and/or feeling about how intensely some people fixate on wealth, and just how much damage can be caused as a result of such an obsession.
It’s a decent documentary, but with some better editing and more of a flow between scenes, could have been great or close to it…
Pre & Post Trumpisms
Film quotes or comments: 1. Roman, Egyptian and many other societies accrue their greatest wealth at the moment they face death. 2. The excesses of our culture: No matter how much you have you still want more. 3. Narcissism is full-blown in our culture now; more so since the ’70s or ’80s. 4. We are living in an end-of-the-world quality, a kind of ultra-decadence. 5. In the ’70s we shifted from an empire of production, to an empire of consumption. 6. Reagan cut the tax rates by 25% with the emphasis now on wealth. (Note: Trump in doing the same thing is leading us into a similar Reagan styled explosion in the national deficit & debt.) 7. Greed, for the lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. 8. Harvard Business School does not teach you to be a good person, but to rule the world. 9. You buy your first Vuitton bag; everybody now bows to your bag. Then you say to yourself, “What next?” Well, spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on more designer ($20,000+ each) bags. Does that say something about their mental health? 10. TV promotes a fictitious lifestyle (remember Paris H.) which fuels a sense of inadequacy in us. We probably know the names of the Kardashians better than our own neighbors. 11. Obsessed w/building big houses, etc. in some cases w/24-carat gold toilets. In our director’s previous doc “The Queen of Versailles” the Siegels who like Trump made billions, in part from land deals (they even appear in an event backing him), decide to build the biggest single family house (20+ bathrooms, 20+ car garage) in America. Up for auction (Nov. 15, ’18), shows us personal shallowness of such consumptive pursuits. 12. Girls, at a very young age, learn that their bodies have currency. Ex. “Toddlers & Tiaras”. 13. We’re evolving into a pornified culture. Ex. Exercise classes that teach cardio striptease w/poles. 14. Unregulated capitalism does what it is designed to to, commodify everything. Human beings become commodities that you exploit for profit.
