"Privileged" is based on the book by Zoey Dean by the name "How to teach filthy rich girls" and though the premise is the same, the characters don't have the same depth. What's alluring about the book is not just Megan's struggles to teach the girls but bond with them. After watching the pilot just days after finishing the book I was let down. I won't spoil the book for those who are thinking of reading it, but the back stories it provides are far more interesting then what the pilot provided us with. Yes, its ultimately a story of the wealthy and their drama... but the book is something more... If you were less then impressed with the series I still recommend the book. Seeing the promos prompted me to read it, and it was one of my favorite reads of the year.
The first time I saw the movie I deemed it "Philosophy w/ Guns". Then I bought the DVD, and felt the movie had even more merit. Despite the insane usage of the f-uch in the begining of the movie and extreme about of violence i would recommend it in a heart beat. The movie focuses on two men who realize they are either looking at a life of minimum wage or petty crime. They realize that thought one of those two choices is their future they decide to change their destiny. That's a revolutionary concept, that you acknowledge that your life is predetermined, but you decide to act on free will.
Anyways, they set off and the "anti-heros". you feel a need to hope they succeed because they deserve it, and at the same time you want them to pay for what they have done.. because they deserve it. You relate to them, specifically Parker. His revelations about absolution, G-d and life were philosophical to say the least.
I'm not going to ruin the plot, but the movie is based on twists and turns and character connections. It's compelling and in the end your brain will be reeling and you'll be better for seeing it.
This has to be one of my all time Favorite movies.

Shakespeare's "macbeth" is a must read, but the movie can be seen w/o first reading the book. You get a lot more out of the movie if you have read it though.
It's based off of "macbeth" but holds it own. the motive's for murder, comic relief and witty dialouge are very amusing.
It's really a good movie with a dark edge. the fact that it's set in the 1970's and focused around a fast food joint was original.
overall it was a well spent hour and a 1/2
