Requiem for the American Dream

The movie, a documentary featuring Noam Chomsky, primarily evokes strong negative emotional responses such as Sadness and Anger due to its focus on the deliberate concentration of wealth and power leading to the 'death of the middle class' and a 'swan song for democracy.' Viewers are likely to feel Anxiety about the future implications of unprecedented inequality and Disgust at the policies favoring the wealthy. However, Chomsky's profound insights also stimulate Curiosity and, coupled with the reminder that 'power ultimately rests in the hands of the governed,' instill a degree of Inspiration and Hope for potential change.
