'Planned obsoletion' was the film that was most striking film for me. The cuts were fantastic, I noted the professional feel of them.The topic was also shown from an interesting POV as well. Usually documentaries about waste and the enviornment aren't applicable to audiences at large, but this one reached all people. the first half of the film focussed on how government regulation and control was what initially brought about planned obsoletion. Both political parties, Republicans and Democrats, can relate to this film. Republicans, opposed to government intervention, would argue that the constitution protects the freedom to use your products for as long as you like. On the other hand, the second half of the film appeals to the left side and Democratic party by stressing environmental issues that have come about due to planned obsoletion. The environmental impacts are upsetting to say the least and Democrats would be outraged to know that so much electronic waste is being shipped to third world countries. I commend the film makers.
