Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
dallasryan A documentary that shows some other alternatives rather than completely trashing the system(which it does and it should). As someone who knows how the system works on a general delineation level, pretty informative and more disheartening to learn more of the specifics within that outline.Almost any situation one asks him/herself 'why did they do this or that, or they should do this or that'(the government on any topic), you can almost always have the answer, "For the money and/or follow the money/and they won't do anything if there is no profit in it for them".It's true where the corporations run the system. If it were different, we would all get a little bit more of a slice, but the market research in the United States is very clever. I mean that in the sense where people are given just enough to be satisfied, given any less, and we might have a revolution on our hands.Other countries have never quite understood that concept ergo they have the struggles that they have. It would take years with chaos, perhaps revolution and struggle to turn it around to where the Corporations don't have their power. It might be impossible though as well. So if it's impossible, why not work the system then. That's what I like about this documentary in which it's stating it may not be possible to turn it around but if we work the system, then the system will have to take notice. That working the system in being an escape fire.Getting Wellness, and prevention of illness programs as a part of our health care/our insurance policies. Advocating at workplaces(as it's starting to become now more)wellness and incentives on insurance for staying healthy. Bringing yoga and meditation into our daily lives as it truly helps ones health and soul. Getting acupuncture on our plans at a reasonable rate as acupuncture truly is a great benefit. Giving the alternative health care to all people(as is starting to be the case). All in all, basically changing the way our system is which our system is to medicate the problem but not to get to the root of the problem.As on the war on drugs, billions of dollars have been spent putting people in jail for drug crimes, yet to this day, drugs are still being sold and used at the same rate as they were years ago before the billions of dollars were spent. Why is that? Because they don't do anything for the prevention of the problem, they just hide it away. Same with the health care system, medicating us just temporarily hides the wound, but does nothing for it to ultimately get better. Why is all this done you ask, 'for the money'.If we fight for these alternative preventions in health care and anything else that needs dealt with, and turn the tide around showing there is money to be made for the corporations in doing these alternatives, then they will do it. They don't care about us or our health or who gets thrown in jail, but they care about money, so if money is in it for them, they will do it.This is a good documentary to see for bringing all of this to a head.
ChetXBuck An interesting and compelling documentary about the state of healthcare in our country. This fast-paced and well-crafted film helps explain how the incentives in our system have derailed healthcare to become "disease-care." It also shows a few very personal stories about the importance of focusing on true "health care" and not medications or quick fixes. It's a smart film that is neither preachy nor political. Unlike so many documentaries by film makers like Michael Moore, this film presents expert information and real-life stories without injecting partisan messages. The focus of the film is to be informative, but not to hang political messages on the facts. The pace if the film is crisp and the pace keeps you engaged. This is an important film for anyone who is curious about the healthcare industry and it should be watched by anyone in the healthcare industry, policy-making or political office.
caeevans I think this film will work well in the high school system, but for those who already have a good knowledge of the problems in the US health-care system, they won't learn anything new.The film is short on facts and figures, which was disappointing for me, though for those who like to emotionally connect to a film, they will no doubt enjoy. Also, there were no real solutions offered in the film, which was an obvious frustration of the audience that I was a part of.Overall, good as an introduction to some of the problems in the US health-care system and if you prefer a narrative over facts and figures.
bertgurg I saw Escape Fire at Full Frame Film Festival in Durham. Every viewer I spoke to after the showing was moved and excited by Escape Fire.As someone who is working on health care reform in the context of Single Payer/Medicare for All I have recommended Escape Fire to all of my friends, family, and to my cohorts in the health care reform effort. Our group is hoping to have a showing in our area soon.I'm a veteran and was deeply touched by the way the soldiers in the movie were portrayed. It's a sad commentary that our health care system is so far behind in recognizing so-called alternative healing practices. This movie highlights their value in a very positive way.Escape Fire has the potential to change the debate on health care reform. We need for it to be seen at mainstream theaters across the nation.
