the Hollywood reporter published a review by frank scheck regarding the film, 'Pay 2 Play,' albeit unflattering.
ADD (attention deficit disorder) approach?
really?
1. there is no deficit disorder in the film. 2. the film is not multiple thought impaired.
advice to that publication and mr. scheck:
a. do not go past go. b. do not collect $200.00. c. go directly to jail.
perhaps "they," as the media elite, are so accustomed to red medicine, mr. chow, spago's, boa, the polo lounge, scarpetta at montage, etc. the reviewer cannot comprehend the seemingly, insidious insurmountable inequality due to our elected employees serving in jobs to serve we the people yet they serve wall street.
"democracy's high stakes," indeed, is the underlying theme by director/writer/producer John Wellington Ennis.
regardless of how many times the cancer of our democracy is written about, i. e., money in politics, the vast majority of we the people still do not truly grasp the underlying horror of how little democracy remains in actuality vs. principle.
the constituency is primarily clueless as to how to connect the dots due to the systematic dismantling of the middle class under ronnie the rotten commencing 01.20.1981 {read: 'sleepwalking through history: America in the reagan years}.
the inherent value of Pay 2 Play is that it provides a broad overview of what happens when a person is a statesman vs. a politician.
tragically, Mr. Ennis, shows that we now have one political party entrenched with two (2) different names as this film details.
the film demonstrates how our elections are nothing more than "insiders" vs. "outsiders" vs. we the people.
do the math:
315,000,000+ Americans vs. 545 elected/appointed employees:
- SCOTUS = 9 - WH = 1 - Senate = 100 - House of Representatives = 435
to serve at our pleasure since, in theory, it is a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
to the credit of Mr. Ennis, he has two women as executive producers: Holly Mosher and Rebecca Lynn Minkin.
please attend a screening and/or watch this film. watch it again to take notes. then:
- spread the word – far and wide. - host this film - take action.
please recall that the civil rights movement changed the course of our nation in ten [10] short years AND they did it with nothing more technological than:
1. a mimeograph machine and 2.a rotary phone.
