I watched the movie "Thrive" last night. This is a documentary that came out November of last year. After watching it, I found it to be interesting, with it's mix of fact & fiction, and at the very least it is worthy of discussion. The movie includes some really hokey things such as UFOs, "free energy" machines, crop circles, and other idiotic nonsense - but on the more plausible sides, it goes on to explain the fractional reserve banking system, the interest of a few toward global domination, and other concepts worthy of thought and discussion. An interesting note is that it was made by a couple members of the Gamble family of Proctor & Gamble noteriety. Overall, I think everyone should see this movie for the plausible info it contains, even if you have to wade through the UFO, symbolism, and free energy nonsense. An interesting point of contradiction of the movie is it's pointing out the free energy devices, and toward the end of the movie it shows & promotes solar panels & other non-free energy devices. :). Anyway, I thought there was about 15-20 minutes of worthwhile info out of the 2 hours and 8 minutes feature length. The one thing I would suggest is trying to find the full length movie for free (it's out there), as you already "pay" for the potentially worthwhile info by watching the low-level entertainment of remedial symbolism nonsense and UFO crop circle crap. That's my basic review on the flick. If you've seen it before or watch it, please give your opinion about it - I'd like to hear your take.
