Once you convince an entire population to stop having children, it's really easy to implode their economy. All you have to do is prey on the most vulnerable people, and use the most desperate and manipulative people to prey on them, making money in the process only the money isn't worth anything anymore, because their entire culture began imploding and not producing anything when it stopped making children.

But yeah, wah men alphabet soup!

Nothing is real, so my consequences have no actions but just because the world is fake and created doesn't mean there's a creator, or consequences to my life choices, so everybody stop caring and just let it all burn.

OR FIND TRUTH AND GOD. AND GET OFF THE SINKING SHIP.

Great film. Performance from Sheen was fantastic, all the cast did a great job.

Love the artistic feel of using different types of cameras and framing / post processing to give 'era' feels to different scenes.

Comparable to the scrooge story, about making changes today and the different tomorrows they can lead you to. Makes you consider priorities, what you call family and that some things are thicker than blood.

I guess since the ghosts 'christmases past and christmases to come' are more metaphorical it's hard to see the connection, but every time he time travelled he arrived at the same time of year in the other eras. Renaming the film to the age of Tony was probably a good call so viewers who don't appreciate the subtle can see it more clearly, and I agree it's not really a christmas themed movie if you're not looking for it.

But it is a great movie just the same!

I don't say this a lot about titles of the current times because I don't enjoy politicization of film and prefer film to focus on storytelling rather than message sending.

This film delivers on story telling 10 / 10 and there is no political undertones present at all in the character arcs or themes. The themes are purely human and focus on the challenges all mortal beings face; the bigger questions about ourselves.

It is a great break from "the usual", uses broad strokes but isn't too artsy. Probably could have done it in 90 minutes, but I consider it time well spent (and I'm picky)
