Synopsis

Alex Gibney (Enron:The Smartest Guys in the Room, Casino Jack and the United States of Money) delivers a visually arresting look at the crumbling façade of Sumo wrestling and exposes searing and violent truths about this ancient and revered sport. Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) offers up a buoyant and revealing angle on the repercussions of baby names. Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp) balance levity and candor with their eye-opening profile of underachieving kids incentivized to learn with cold hard cash. Finally, Eugene Jarecki, who brought us the unforgettably powerful Why We Fight, investigates an unsettling theory to explain why crime rates dramatically dropped in the early '90s. Seth Gordon (The King of Kong) weaves the pieces together with brisk interludes, providing context and commentary from the authors. Freakonomics exposes the hidden side of everything, debunking conventional wisdom, and revealing what answers may come if one just asks the right questions.

    Money can indeed buy happiness if you know what to spend it on. Sure a ton of toys buys false happiness, but having enough money to spend quality time with your children instead of working a multitude of jobs and coming home drained . With enough money to circle the globe together to learn & experience other cultures can indeed buy happiness. Having enough money to live in a house filled with books & enough money to provide your kids with quality food can make one very happy indeed

    I was surprised at the general view of this movie, it wasn’t meant to be earthshattering. It was just promoting the idea of thinking differently and I loved it. How many people would have viewed the topics covered it the way they were viewed. Open up your minds :)

    I don't think that ayu is confusing these terms. I think you misunderstood the point that she was trying to make. Ayu was not saying that happiness is not dependant on perception, as it seems you are incinuating. Ayu was just giving hypothetical examples of situations where money, really can bring someone happiness.
