Reviews for "Tears in Heaven"

Ah... The Innocence of Youth

It's great that you're concerned about the suffering in the world. However, your views presented here show a great deal of naivete about how the world actually plays out. If you are a communist, then you should be well aware of the consistent historical end result of communist government. Everywhere it is implemented, communism results in a privileged and wealthy ruling class that keeps everyone else in a state of equal impoverishment--by the use of military force! Kind of like the situation you're complaining about in the world, eh? Personal freedoms are taken away, incentive to work is taken away, laziness is encouraged, and the majority of people are essentially slaves to their government! Hooray for the Workers' Paradise! However, where people are allowed to, and required to, truly make their own way, things are generally prosperous, people are productive, and the average quality of life soars. It's easy to be a communist in a democratic nation, but you'll find that those who live under such regimes share quite a different view. I'm all for communism in theory, but it requires everyone to be completely loving, humble, hard-working, and self-sacrificing for it to work. That's the problem. Until people are fixed internally, communism can never function according to theory. In the meantime, capitalism seems to best offset the evil tendencies in people by requiring them to do good for the community through economic pressures, i.e. do things people consider valuable, or starve.

Also, where are the complaints against the military spending of communist regimes? Shouldn't they have disarmed by now if communism really plays out so rosily? Or is military spending essential to the integrity of ANY nation?

Don't forget that the UN is politically driven... How many of millions of dollars did Kofi Annan make in kickbacks from the Oil for Food "Program"?

By the way, there is a system that calls for providing for the needs of people while requiring that those who are able to pull their own weight, though it is not consistently practiced--And it's almost always practiced at the individual, not the state, level. It's called Christianity,

This movie has got to have the most essays as reviews, ever.

Excellent.

I see a lot of people complaining about the sound/video quality, but it looks fine to me. The message is a very powerful one, and I congratulate you on your desire to express your opinions.

The quality of life in America is much higher than it should be given the average quality of life in the world. By being born an American, I was given a much bigger handout than any US Foreign Aid policy has ever given anyone -- I got to live in a house, with my own room, eat three square meals a day, attend school, receive adequate medical care, etc. This all comes basically for free -- sure, my parents worked, but they worked in an air-conditioned office where they sat at desks; most residents of third world countries would consider such a thing a vacation. I certainly don't deserve any of this; I'm not just some really great person who earned the right to drink clean water by the size of my heart or my academic performance.

To the gentleman who blamed terrorism on "kooky religions," I reply that with the past few decades there have been prominent Muslim terrorists, Christian terrorists, Jewish terrorist, Atheist terrorists, and terrorist groups made up of people of mixed religions. Terrorism isn't driven by religion, per se, but by an intense, shared hatred. As America has lead the world into corporate globalism, it has in many was turned its back on its founding principles, leading to justified hatred of America by many foreigners. As an American, I hope that we will be able to help turn this around and become once again a country standing for liberty, justice, and the pursuit of happiness.

I don't care if this didn't deserve all 10's. It had Eric Clapton, so in my book, it does deserve all 10's. These amps go up to 11!
