documentary
Sometimes amusing but ultimately sad story of a couple of nouveau riche bozos in Florida who were building the largest house in America before the great bust of 2008. The laughter was all condescending...the sadness was for the value system in this country that produces people who think stuff and its accumulation are what it's all about.
A bit long...I got really sick of these people after 45 minutes or so...but the piling up of the details of their extreme cluelessness held my attention. The 'queen' with her rigid posture, botox face and fake boobs was grotesque...a modern day freak show deluded into thinking she was the embodiment of the American dream. And the taste on display was a scream. But I ended up feeling sorry for their kids who will have received such a distorted sense of what matters in life.
This would work as a propaganda piece for the Occupy movement.
