. . . since there was NO local publicity for what could have been a 50th Anniversary screening or something. My first shock came when I entered "Auditorium #8," and discovered that I WAS THE ONLY ONE THERE as the previews began (and I remained the sole viewer through DAY's closing credits). Nevertheless, I chalked up my unexpected privacy to the complete lack of marketing, and remained hopeful that the feature would star Sean Connery as Agent 007 (and not the smarmy Roger Moore). However, as DAY began it became clear that this talk fest was being foisted off on the Viewing Public (that is, ME) as a "documentary" about the 2008-09 U.S. Auto Industry "Bail-Out." The filmmakers rightly credit the United Auto Workers Union for creating the American Middle Class, but the next 100 minutes constitute an anti-Union rant by mostly fat financial bozos clad in $5,000 suits. It all looks and sounds like a board meeting of S.P.E.C.T.R.E., plotting to rub out the tiny remnant of U.S. Normal People making a decent living. Just ONE worker is included to balance the 29 One Per Centers chiming in here, including Obama's hatchet man named something like Steve Rat whom the closing credits state turned out to be a $150 million pension fund thief himself. Barack allowed him to X out the hallowed Pontiac car brand, among other atrocities. Another villain is a Mussolini type from Italy, Sergio Machiavelli, to whom Obama awarded Chrysler for ZERO dollars! When the lone ACTUAL American worker says that he MIGHT be able to afford to buy a home in a couple years if he scrimps and saves real hard, the filmmakers frame such an outcome as totally unacceptable to the Big Money Guys who have been appointed to run the lives of we 99-Per-Centers.
