I knew when I got to this site there would be the typical backlash of jealousy. I'm way poor next to the subjects of this documentary, but they are human beings and not "the other half" by any means. They are actually a minority and do have a hard time relating to the majority and I think not only is that fine to address, it's fine to address no matter which side of it you are on. Free speech and all that good stuff.
I thought it was a good first timer for Johnson, it was original and he worked with what he knows. I would have liked it to be a bit longer with some more in-depth questions, but I think there were some unforeseen circumstances preventing that. Regardless, for such a young age he did pretty good and I think as he gets past his own guilt/fear/confusion about his wealth, he'll do even better next time. Money doesn't buy intelligence(look at G.W. Bush) and Johnson clearly is a smart guy in many ways for his age. He's interesting and I think if you did really think about what life is like for him and the others in the film, you'd see it took some guts to do a documentary like this.
