Corporate Knights Magazine contributor, Claudia Stoicescu, reviewed the recent generation of Hollywood films and rated their social consciousness. Here are some of Claudia’s bottom-line comments:

The Constant Gardener
“. . . The film is a political treatise with the hopeful message that although it’s hard to know who to blame these days, it’s worth it to fight.”

Syriana
“We are all in deep trouble and the horizon looks bleak.”

North Country
“. . . The struggle for women’s labour rights is sweaty, lonely, and far from over.”

Crash
“. . . Crash nods to the possibility that hateful behaviour can be altered if we at least admit to it.”

Capote
“Beware the fame and success-at-any-cost trend which began with capote and now parasitically contaminates the literary and journalistic world.”

Good Night, Good Luck
“In showcasing an extraordinary and courageous turning point in the role of the media as defender of true freedom of expression, the film implicitly charges its flabbier, contemporary counterpart for falling in line too easily.”

Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room
“Regardless of your political stripe, this film will make you furious.”
