Well now that its been 2-3 days since I watched the move I appreciate it and I like it! I think it was very good and very beautifully filmed. Seriously at some points in the movie I was mesmerized by how beautiful the scene in front of me was. My problem with it originally was that after watching the trailer I thought the movie was going to be all about Keira Knightleys character and her lover living together and they life and all. i expected to SPPPPOOOIIILLLEEERRRRSSS see them together after the war and see how the rest of their lives truned out but all of a sudden we get that huge secret revealed and its like BAM! its over...thats it...nothing else lol but besides that it was really good but very different than what I expected. What did you think about it?
The movie was incredibly beautiful indeed. The score and scenery matched to perfection. But -SPOILER ALERT- that is what happens in the book after all. Both lovers meet untimely ends, unfortunately. :(Yeah thst the reason why I can accept the ending and be satisfied because I know that they cant just go completely against the book.
I agree, it's hard to accept the fact that they have to stick with the novel.The movie was incredibly beautiful indeed. The score and scenery matched to perfection.

[QUOTE="edisni_edistuo"][QUOTE="danwallacefan"] excuse me, who the hell is "we"? I'm not a monetarist like Greenspan or Bernanke
And I'm talking about his economic theories in particular, namely keynesianism. One has to stand and wonder if Obama is even remotely aware of the devastating Austrian critiques of Keyensian economics.
Excuse me, "we" as in the public. Okay, one should also stand and wonder about OUR economics, not Austrian ones. Obama has his focus right where it needs to be. I really hope you didn't have any beliefs one way or another about the american recovery and reinvestment act of 2009 (the stimulus bill that passed 3 months ago), because you've demonstrated a basic ignorance of economics that could be easily cured with an incredibly cursory survey of the introductory literature. I'd recommend that you pick up a few books by Woods, Hayek, Murphy, or Rothbard.Now, that being said, "Austrian economics" isn't the economics of Austria. It means "of or pertaining to the Austrian school of economics". The Austrian school was founded by Ludwig Von Mises and his student Friedrich Hayek, who later recieved a nobel prize in economics.
Now Barack Obama's plans are based upon the theory of John Maynard Keynes. However, as the Austrian economists pointed out, there are 2 major problems with Keynesian economics which severly undercut Keynesian economics, and Barack Obama's plans (of course its not limited to these 2, but I find these 2 austrian critiques to be the most devastating of the austrian critiques. The Monetarists have some novel critiques)
1: The myth of deflationary spiral
2: The fact that the economy needs to reset itself.
The Keynesian and Monetarist solutions to our current crisis are based upon the premise that Deflation is bad for the economy. Au Contraire, Deflation is a normal and healthy process which only helps the economy reset itself and start trade once again. Pumping more money into the economy (as Bernenke, Hoover, and Roosevelt tried to do with Wage controls and large public works projects) only delays this reset. Truth is unemployment must happen, so wage rates can go down and unprofitable firms and industries can go by the wayside, and so profitable industries can hire the excess. Once the economy has returned to high or full employment, wage rates will go up. This, unlike the inflationary booms that the Monetarists and Keynesians seek to create, is sustainable.
Wow, I salute you (no sarcasm intended). You're well-researched on the subject.
