Born Rich

A filmről

The heir to the Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical empire, Jamie Johnson, points his documentary lens in the direction of some privileged children who stand to inherit millions in the not-so-distant future. Johnson manages to pry revelations from heirs with some famous last names - Trump, Bloomberg and Vanderbilt, to name a few. They speak frankly about money, family pressure and their often extravagant lifestyle.

OK. So it's cool to learn something new, and it makes Jamie Johnson (the author) look like he wants to do more than just the self tax cutting donations that his family gives. But come on man, if you REALLY wanted to make a difference and be about something more than money, then we wouldn't have to pay $6 for a bottle of bug spray any longer and single mother's would be able to afford your childcare products. gimme a break.

I feel I actually learned a lot from this movie! Normally when I think of movies I think of cool graphics, stupid story lines, and the feeling of emptiness and frustration because 2 hours just went down the drain. This was different; I felt each moment of the movie was well spent- I really got to know about the billionaires in person, and that would have been very difficult without Jamie Johnson's production! I commend his effort, and I commend how truthful everything is about his production. Sharing vulnerabilities is not a easy thing, nor is publicizing yourself (which can only happen so successfully given the special status). I tip my hat to everyone for their honesty

Well this certainly didn't make the 1% look like they know what life is like for the 99%. Although the film maker and the Vanderbuilt heir impressed me and both offer hope that blue bloods aren't all self-centered brats. Luke Weil and the Italian model d bag are both doomed in life I think, regardless of what they can buy.
