I'ts the end of the world as we know it and i feel fine! China 5000 years to U.S.A.'s229 years.WAKE THROW OUT RATS IN WASHINGTON AND PUT THEM IN CHINESES JAILS.

madratz4/18/08

Brilliant.... and to quote the poster....."mesmerizing, hysterical and humiliating"Some of you patriotic US commenters need to have a look at yourselves.... you're not living the dream... you're living in a dream.

CleverMonkey3/19/08

CaptainClouds gets it. Watch carefully... it is not an endorsement of China, it is a criticism of the US. Is it wrong to call Americans stupid for allowing this? Are they not, after all, living the American ideal? Get what you can. Jheylin, wait 10 years and see if the US isn't also a mismanaged, overpopulated disease pile. How is your healthcare and education? And Chuckb35, you are right but you miss the point that in this film they are agreeing with you. This film is brilliant.

captaincloud3/16/08

Don’t you people get it? This prolific film is about the fact that we are going down. Our law makers should do something about it but hey, we voted for them. Twice.Wake up America. We won’t be # 1 for long.Ship our good jobs over sea. Thats how we pay such low prices at walmart. This film is in your face and you dont seem to get it from the other comments I have read.

Mellianne1/28/08

It's quite interesting how this video keeps bragging about how many jobs they have, but they don't even get the chance to enjoy life at a theme park. Why would anyone brag about spending time all day in a sweat shop laboring over tedious work that nobody wants to do, with no time to do anything but work at that crappy job all day?

i am so smart s-m-r-t1/28/08

I enjoyed it. It's all very clearly true.He neglects to mention the fact that every city has a china town and they move to North America all the time and own a lot of the powerful business here too.madnessman- I don't think you should be talking about the authors bad use of grammar when clearly you have no grasp of it yourself.

Uberalek1/6/08

Oh, and by the way, I'd like to see you translate a film into Chinese. The Chinese would probably laugh at YOU for having bad "gramer"!!!

Uberalek1/6/08

Oh my god!!!! Hahaha you pretty much sum up why people don't like America. You're being hypocritical, using bad grammar in a comment attacking the maker of this film for using bad grammar!! You're also being quite disrespectful to the Chinese people. Shame on you.

dohlink11/24/07

Stunning, could not stop watching it, opened my eyes even more. Excellent!! Thanks.

theobabe11/5/07

wow, it shows how, in the not to distant future china will rule the world. and the west give it to them on a plate

CHUNKIE10/31/07

For the first time in my life, I actually think too much damage has been done by the ***** Machine. There is far too much loss of blood and treasure, too much money has been spent, too many quagmires have been created by fat cats like Cheney who will just fly off to Dubai and retire with our money. Passport to China anyone? Might as well go live where my money is at work and my job went to.

kemaxiu9/9/07

The one-dimensional and antagonistic nature of China's "Second Great Leap Forward" needs to be recognized in the developed world so that it can be balanced with a more complete picture of what modernity offers. This movie effectively illustrates to the uninitiated current nationalistic sentiments in China.

billhunter8/15/07

Thoughtful movie. I thought it was a mistake when the Clinton administration was working so hard on "Fair Trade" agreements worldwide. The Republicans should have put a stop to giving away American jobs to the Chinese when they took over power in Washinton. Unfortunately, neither the Democrats or the Republicans seem to notice, or even care, about what is going on in the world. Keep American jobs in the USA.

Putnik19148/11/07

Though it's a difficult film to watch (because it is so close to the bone), it is correct in what it states. One wonders why our 'leaders' can't seem to see the reality.

katmed8/6/07

HELLO AMERICA!!! this is not a funny film a devastatingly true fim wake up ! Well done and a little scary I might add!

marlinmiller7/28/07

Just goes to show the direction we're heading....WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

dontneed7/16/07

!!!what a video!!!, finally somebody speaks and spits out the true about the future of and the past of america. because to have all those "made in china" 99cent stores ranning, all these years, you need sobody slave somewhere in the world. face it america your days are couted as super power. move like this can help americans stopp being so busy with thenselves and look after the world that actually help them became what they are now. for better or worse.

Is it too late to learn Mandarin at age 60?

dawnjames576/5/07

absolutely brilliant! anyone giving a thumbs down must be dumb american hillbilly too busy plotting drive to nearest wendy's to notice what is happening in the world. that's the point of this film. oh and by the way, it is NOT supposed to be FUNNY!! there is nothing funny about what more than just a 'couple of politicians' have done to the economy and the american middle class. if this film doesn't open your eyes then i am afraid nothing will.

paul7555/26/07

too loooooooooooooong!

Elhany5/14/07

interesting, clever, makes you think

rumbler6294/27/07

Republican Hillybilly elected to office, and gives all the jobs away--good film parody of how it really is!!

MartiJune4/24/07

This needs to be seen by all of our self righteous citizens who have their heads stuck in the sand (SouthPark) needs to parity this oneWAKE UP PEOPLE

timbershell3/24/07

this one ROCKS!!! the only americans who won't like it are the ones who voted for *****...if you look closely, you'll see the truth is really there...wake up america!

bradnutcher3/17/07

By the way, Atom Films' web site is BLOCKED by the China national firewall. In China, be careful NOT to use Yahoo e-mail to correspond with anyone about democracy. Otherwise, Yahoo will turn you over to the authorities, they will storm your home and drag you away, and you will get a 10 year prison sentence. (Alternatively, one of their many fleet of mobile execution buses will show up to dispatch you, after which your organs will be sold). Nice country, China.

AmericanHacker3/14/07

good ending though could have got to the point faster kindo lost me in the middle but very good

DamienXYZ3/11/07

We Americans need to wake up, become responsible WORLD citizens, demonstrate values that place the wellbeing of humanity and the planet as a whole (including non-human life) above our venerating of our petty materialistic wants. Especially with the bad example which America has been setting in terms of being materialistic bullies on an international scale, and with the economic truths as evinced in this video, the planet is heading for a very bad place.

bradnutcher2/20/07

In the country of China there are many things that areparodied to make fun of the English language. This hasbeen going on for years. IBM had to figure out the translation for the computer age because their languageis not computer compatible. Could you imagine a computer infiltration of their country and the damage the US could do to this "Floppy Tiger." (Ha Ha) - Brad

lostnovel2/5/07

Criticism is always a large pill to swallow. Unusual presentation, yet effective. As long as a reaction has been elicited, then the director has acheived his/her goal.

northerncomfort2/4/07

I like this film, it is truer than you think. Sad thing is canada is following your footsteps, and using China's cheap labour force, and we are our manufacturing also to china. Oh wait we never did own our Industries they are all US owned. The ones that were canadian owned are now sold to the United states.

drscannon1/25/07

Wow, I move to china and like it. love it.

JanGoldberg1/22/07

Excellent. The sorry future

Hey Montansky look up immigrate in the dictionary and see if you can figure out why they think we're stupid

Montansky8412/24/06

Ha Ha Ha.... This is trully GREAT! We should all immigrate to China!

bobg372312/20/06

There are many lessons to be gleaned here, and the underlying theme is competitiveness with a capital "C". In regards to trade policy, the U.S. needs to take a closer look at the side effects of a global economy, in particular as to how it affects Americans for better or worse. Japan was a good student of U.S. Capitalism. Too good, in fact. Deja-Vu all over again. Plenty of insightful, biting sarcasm in a psuedo documentary by a Sino-ranconteur "Ha Ha Ha" jive-***** mofo no less. Me rikey.

BlackPope12/20/06

Chinese witty, very laugh at catastro***** US politico-economic *****-droop.America u need snowballs of smack prozac, thats next big import, don't worry, China make deal with Afghanistan supply heroin, CIA transport ***** thru military camps for usual 10ò0cut, happy to keep you dumb ignorant slaves in capitalist dictatorship - so enjoy SmakZak, only €50 /shot (soon we dont take you funny munney Dollar)

pameladay*****gmail*****12/19/06

Cuts to the chase in an visually riviting fashion. GOOD stuff, more please sir.

noteevee12/17/06

indeed, china could squash us like a fortune cookie if they so desired. don't know why that's so effin' funny to me. i loved this film.

EngrishTeacher12/4/06

I think the response from Jacob on 11/15/06 sums up the current state of the average American worker. His sentence structure, spelling, grammar and form are right on the mark with why I don't own a Chevrolet. Thank you Jacob for proving the whole point of the movie so succinctly.

Anonymous9/5/06

Absolutely brilliant and sad! Big foam thumb up!

Vinny8/1/06

Devastatingly accurate. Welcome to your future. I'm happy it is China taking over and not someone else. As a film, a little heavy on the Shanghai imagery (sure, Pudong is irresistible) and the Chinglish connects about 3 times out of 5. Some plodding parts and denouement a letdown but essential viewing and compelling story.

Anonymous7/21/06

I saw this first at the Sundance website. It's a brilliant harangue of a letter to the US, with love, from China. Biting, scary, humorous, poignant. Best thing on the atomfilms website.

Anonymous7/13/06

scary isnt it? think they may have hit the nail on the head with this one? can you decide for yourself?

D. Often7/5/06

This is one of the most important pieces of film I've seen in a LONG time. An amusing dialogue on the trade deficit between America and China - why it's here and why it's here to STAY. I give this two thumbs up. If you disagree, you can chase MY fragrant monkey tail!

ura6/30/06

I want to know, simplly

Anonymous6/22/06

I'm ashamed to say it's so true. . . I'd leave the USA in a second if I had more money. I didn't elect the hillbilly.

Great fun, very well-done, kept my interest. Could've been recited in broken English as well, may have made it better.

awesome vid...i can see how it can offend but if u think about what the vid shows....and learn... we can make the USA stronger.

JC5/31/06

This should be a wake up call for America. We are well on our way to a glorious #2! We have to get back on track again!!! Refocus

bill5/28/06

Very good and thought provoking. The facts given are all too true. I would have liked the subtitles to have stayed on screen a little longer.

Phidippus5/27/06

Some compelling factoids are presented, however, the text narration is a bit overbearing at times.

curiousgemini5/26/06

I think it was a bit more anit-China than Anti-American. A pretty good wake up call. Apparently terrorism isn't the only thing we in the US should fear.

Zukowski5/26/06

i feel shame. I am only a rounding error.

Anonymous5/24/06

As i am also of mixrd origin and since that far of being patriotic of any country. I wanna understand this little as critique on both countries. what we see is where hahahaamerica is now and what china has learned from america. both countries won´t get us very far in developing an overall perspective of men, women and nature since life isn´t all about economy.

Anonymous5/24/06

Pretty funny nice beats! on the socio political commentary it's kinda like Imperial Britain and Imperial Germany rivalry 100 years ago ... but "Gott Mit Uns" as Kaiser Wilhelm used to say ; )

paul5/24/06

Hats off to the editor and sound designer. The creative copywriting deserves a mention too.

Anonymous5/24/06

Entertaining video. The irony is that the Chinese appear to have picked up the Puritan ethic. Ha Ha, China. Work yourself to death.

G.I. Joe5/23/06

I guess you really pulled a fast one on America. You managed to consume $34.7 billion worth of our resources, and only gave up $210.5 billion of your own resources in the process. Pretty damn sneaky. Wanna do it again?

zhicheng wang5/23/06

i hope that world must be pease and love

JonnyBimmer5/23/06

It's true, as saddening as it is, and I'm not saying that because I'm half-Chinese. The war isn't just killing us literally. China is bound to pass the US, just like Toyota is bound to pass GM. Us Americans have just taken too much for granted and figured things will happen by osmosis or that things will never change. I really oughta learn more Chinese...

Anonymous5/22/06

Shocking...truly shocking. It really sends a message to all Americans. It woke me up. Praise to the people who took the time to do this.

RAVEDAVE5/22/06

The film is an alarming piece and so truthful it hurts. Face it, we are a country run by fat cats who don't care if it's run in the ground as long as they have their golden parachute. I challenge the factoid that there are more people employed by American companies in China than there are in the US. That's just too painful to be true. Say it aint so. Hats off to this brilliant, truthfully cruel short.

Andie5/22/06

Not tough to figure out, most Americans are fat and lazy...claim no responsibility for anything....and how do we buy american? Everytime I'm shopping....i can't find "Made in America". We need to do something but where to begin....

Morgan5/21/06

Brilliant (though excruciating) commentary on what our country is coming to. Though I suppose the counterpoint would be that the average American worker is still exponentially better off than the average worker in the PRC. I could go on, but it's really a war of ideology.

sat5/21/06

Genius! But poor Engrish too hard understanding.

Anonymous5/20/06

Hmmm... I think a lot of you don't get it. I think it's a really sarcastic way of criticizing China -- how it had abandoned its communist idealogy and embraced American style capitalism, ignoring everything else for the almighty dollar. Look at the pictures and read between the lines.

Jacqueline5/20/06

The general perceptions and reactions to this short are pretty interesting. That says something in and of itself.
