Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)
Shows an extreme example of corruption in big business.
"Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" is a highly informative and detailed example of how corrupt a business can become when it is not being regulated or watched over. Although the film is lengthy (and at times tedious), it covered large subject areas effectively. The way the film ends is slightly vague and some of the diction and terminology used was difficult for me to understand personally, which could be because I have never taken an economics class or any variation of such before but still. I learned a lot from the film and, if the films purpose is to inform and not so much entertain, then I consider it to be well put together.
Vegucated (2011)
Informative documentary on vegan-ism
I have always been skeptical of vegan-ism and vegetarianism, but "Vegucated" opened my eyes to what these lifestyles/diets really were. I thought that to be a vegan you weren't allowed to eat basically anything except raw vegetables. It turns out that, shown in the film, there are so many products that are vegan edible, like Oreos for an example! "Vegucated" changed my mind in thinking that being a vegan or a vegetarian is basically impossible to wanting to try it in college. Not only does the film show how easy it can be to become a vegan, but it also gives reasons as to why someone would. These random people discover how healthy, logical and easy it is to be vegan. I recommend anyone who has questions about or is interested in vegan-ism to watch "Vegucated"!
