@GoldenGateNum9 The entire film is impossible to upload because of copyright issues. I'll have links to the missing parts back up again in two days.

An awesome movie! I think any person can learn something from this movie. Pity I couldn't watch part 10 &15. I tried everything. The links open, but they just won't load. I really think that's a crap video sharing site.

I love these kind of films where the plot starts off suggesting quite a narrow theme, and then the scope just gets bigger and bigger until the scope of the ideas expand way beyond what we started with.

So here the film starts off about how a tobacco industry is really just like any other intimidating drug pusher. But then the story becomes about the battle for the soul of CBS and how the capitalist structure favouring huge corporations, even infects journalistic integrity.

@TheLecheMilk I agree. The movie has a definate bent towards demonizing companies and totally misses the underlying issue of personel responsibility. I am all for free speech, but this movie is progressive propaganda.

@doobersmanster What does this movie have to do with the Government? It's about a decent person J.Wigand who wanted to talk to 60 Minutes, which is his legal right, and the Tobacco company threatened his family. They left a bullet in his mail box. So someone should have been charged. I agree the Government should not get involved in this issue. But what about freedom of speech? J.Wigand is entitled to go on 60 Minutes and give his opinion. And people need to know more about nicotine.

@TheLecheMilk Personal responsibility...is anyone that stupid to think smoking is not addictive after you have smoked? It is obvious...you will be happy in your Brave New World..The government was never supposed to intervene this way..it is a Personal responsibility issue. Buyer Beware..only eat and use things you know are safe..people like you want Mommy Government to protect you from everything..pathetic.we are going to lose all of our freedoms becasue of people like you.

@doobersmanster Get your mouth out of the toilet. Nicotine is addictive and the tobacco companies tried to hide this information from the public. That's what this film was all about. And when J.Wigand tried to talk to 60 minutes about it, they gave his family a death threat. People like you should go back to elementary school and learn how to read and write. You're dumb. At 1:48 L.Bergman states that the damage to Wigand's life is done...What got broken here doesn't go back together again.

[doobersmanster]

How about letting people choose what they do with their own bodies..Buyer beware...just another example of Socialistic social engeneering..."We have to punish the people that we don't like what they are doing" Propaganda a disgrace that anyone was sued and that the legal system was used in such a horrible way to manipulate and control peoples behaviors..what next? Are they going to make everything bad for you litigatable. IT is the smokers responsibility to know what they are doing to themselves

It blows my mind how this movie never won Best Adapted Screenplay. The dialogue was IMHO the inspiration for The Social Network, where just like TSN, The dialogue is crisp, deep, meaningful, very intelligent and sharper than a knife.

Blow me Academy for fucking up ONCE AGAIN!!!
