To this day I'm still uncertain which of the couples interviewed was brighter.

Idiocracy is a very interesting documentary but I do wonder why the Portuguese wikipedia article was posted here.

As an American, this is an upbeat film that shows me what we could aspire to as a country.

I particularly enjoyed the role of President Camacho who refreshingly portrayed a rational, somewhat sensible leader, who, at the end of the day, listens to reason.

I would have never guessed that Idiocracy was an optimistic look at our future...

Correct, most people don’t realize that Idiocracy is actually a utopia

People rally to find the smartest person to help them with a real problem, give him the resources necessary to solve it and then he solved it and life improves

That’s a utopian fantasy if I’ve ever heard of it

Wrong link the OP, sorry

Mildly funny but also I think representative of the kind of smart(arse) and unwise attitude that wealthy, educated people have been using to dig their own grave for some time: people understand when you have contempt for them and they won't listen to you any more.

Kornbluth who wrote the story it's largely based on (The Marching Morons) had the excuse of extreme youth and alienation for his intellectual elitism. His story is much more explicit about the solution: fire all the dummies into space. It's much more obvious in the story that Dysgenics is Eugenics.

I think there's not a good heart in this kind of art.

I saw it in the theater! I had to drive a couple of hours because fox was distributing it to only a handful of theaters. There were I think only three other peilen watching it with me. No distribution, no advertising. I wonder why? Makes you think...
