Product Description

Product Description

Ray Sharkey, Lisa Hartman. After he's released from jail, an ex-cop plunges right back into the drugs and violence that sent him up the river in the first place. 1990/color/91 min/R.

Review

Vitally important...a deeply moving and informative film. Its purpose is to inspire further battles just like the one it portrays-not violent revolution, but small-scale, incremental political progress, the kind that doesn't make news, but does make real change. --Cinema Scope

Excellent! A classic victory for the little guy... If it were shown in U.S. cities hit by factory closures, it might give unemployed Americans ideas. --New York Daily News

EDITOR'S CHOICE! Highly Recommended! Unfolds like a genuine thriller in the Costa-Gavras vein. Compelling! --Video Librarian

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Take
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    Scripted by activist-author Naomi Klein ("No Logo") and directed by Avi Lewis, "The Take" is a probing look at the ugly underside of globalization and its discontents, as well as a compelling portrait of blue-collar pride and self-esteem. We get to know the workers and their families, hearing about the hardships so many have endured since an ill-advised International Monetary Fund bailout plunged Argentina deeper into debt and disarray. Urgent and damning in its implications, "The Take" is a David and Goliath story with real-world reverberations.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Compelling story and theory ruined by lefty hype.
    Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2008
    I like the story that this film tells about the workers of the closed factories trying to bring Argentina back from the brink by getting back to work. I believe that recuperation is a fair way to settle owed wages, satisfy the other creditors and provide productive work. I think its a shame that the politicians would do anything but fully support the workers' endeavors in getting the economy moving again.

    Despite this, the film is ruined by half-baked ideas about the IMF and the Multi-nationals causing the ruin of the Argentine economy. The IMF is the only organization in the world that continued to provide hard currency to the Argentine government after the economic crisis. The Multinational corporations only did what they could to try to mitigate their losses caused by the collapse by getting the hell out of Dodge.

    The true culprits in the plot are the corrupt politicians and the nefarious bigwigs running the local enterprises like Forja San Martin. (Am I the only one who noticed that the film includes no examples of Multinationals abandoning a factory?) Argentina had crappy fiscal and monetary policies, including bloated subsidies to companies like Zanon (before the take-over), and a pegged currency. The references to IMF policy prescriptions (El Modelo) never mention that Argentina ignored the most basic reforms that are supposed to ensure stability and solvency of the government and support economic development while helping those hurt by the attendant dislocations that development will cause (i.e.: job loss, etc.) I don't know why they were so timid about calling out these scoundrels, other than that they'd have to pass up taking cheaps shots at the IMF, Multinational corporations, and other globalization bogeymen.

    I would have appreciated this film much more if it were more honest about the true circumstances that lead to the sad state of affairs that it documents. I would have rated it at least four stars had it done so.

    12-28-2008:
    If you disagree with my review, I'd appreciate some feedback in a comment. Since I posted this review, I've only gotten "unhelpful" votes, but no constructive feedback. It's rather frustrating, as I feel I gave this film and its argument quite a bit of thought and additional research before giving it a marginally unfavorable rating.

    The Take is a must see movie for anyone interested in social justice, co-ops, anarcho-syndicalism, the plight of the working class, the IMF or World Bank, capitalism, or South American culture. Well made, this documentary has great pacing, clear and concise information, and a lot of heart.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Reflection on "The Take"
    Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2009
    Reflections on "The Take" J. Alexander

    I've seen this film a few times now and it remains inspiring on repeated viewings, as do the bonus features included on the disc. Not just a microcosm of the effects of globalization in Latin America, this film is a microcosm of globalism everywhere in the world and how ordinary people can overcome the extraordinary corruption and exploitation institutionalized throughout the world economy of, by, and for the corporate elitist bankers, investors, and politicians. As is said toward the end of the film, "We [Argentina] are the mirror to look into, the mistake to avoid. Argentina is the waste that remains of a globalized country. We are where the rest of the world is going."

    In the 1990s under President Menem and the direction of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), social services in Argentina were reduced, whole industries were sold off to foreign firms, and backroom deals were made, guaranteed to benefit the international elites and corrupt politicians when the well ran dry from being over bled by `pigs on the wing'. No other outcome was possible, and no other outcome has ever ultimately resulted. To profit under capitalism, corporations must create scarcity (by limiting supply) on the one hand, and an unlimited supply of cheap labor on the other. So when they were unable to do this in Argentina (due to worker demands and depressed global demand), they decided to remove all liquid capital from the Argentine economy and liquidate factories and equipment as quickly as possible.

    Many workers, however, though `free to starve,' chose, rather, to take their right-to-life seriously by seizing their means of earning a living. Though non-ideological, they naturally and un-self-consciously embarked on an anarcho-syndicalist adventure not unlike the kibbutzim (collective farms) of Israel.

    To succeed, they had to work with the corrupt system and politicians still entrenched in their country. But most of them apparently could see that putting the factories back to work was in the interests of the whole country. Where the workers have had the toughest time is in securing any sort of credit or loans from financial institutions, and the worker-owned factories that have found lasting success have done so by nurturing strong connections with, and support from their local communities.

    To answer a few of the `guiding questions', socialism and capitalism are both state-run on behalf of corrupt elites; their just two models for exploiting the people. What the enlightened workers realize is that they cannot depend on any leader of any party, because the entire system, including the so-called democratic process, is entirely corrupt and controlling. No one, for instance, should be at all surprised that Barack Obama is giving the bankers billions and billions of dollars, after the millions they contributed to his election campaign. What we all need is a truly democratic process not for sale to the highest bidder.

    When the workers find themselves in control of their own remunerative destinies they learn the greatest lesson of all: (political/economic) freedom = (moral) responsibility and vigilance. Most people are secretly afraid of freedom and the responsibility it demands, and this is why most people have allowed themselves to be enslaved, in one form or another, around the world and throughout human history.

    The would-be owners and rulers, like Menem and "Mr. Zanon", are forever watching and waiting for their moment. They are leaches with the heart of compulsive gamblers. Their ideal world is a casino and a pair of loaded dice; and any `system' with rules can and will be rigged to benefit them--once they get in. This is why Thomas Jefferson said that every generation needs a revolution to "renew the blood of freedom".

    Not only is such a anti- or counter-globalist revolution possible in the United States today, it is absolutely necessary if we value our lives and our future. Furthermore, given the current `take' by Wall Street, I believe it is imminent. Our economy is being swallowed whole, and we are headed for an unavoidable cataclysm. But this time, although the revolution will probably not be televised by Murdoch and friends, it will happen on a global scale and succeed in the industrialized cities with universities, where workers can most easily and effectively organize, and where idealistic student activists are a short march away from campus to CBD (Central Business District).

    Given current science and technology, a worker-controlled resource based economy will provide an unlimited supply of renewable energy for the cheap production and transportation of food and medicine to every corner of the world. But there's nothing in that for the profiteers -so they'll have to go.

    ¡Viva la revolucion!

    3.0 out of 5 stars It's good - but not an objective source of information; just an alternative source
    Reviewed in Canada on June 29, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    I enjoyed this documentary very much as it was high quality and examined a topic that is difficult to examine without delving into various alternative information sources. I was incensed, however, with the one-sidedness of the documentary and the fact that it takes a prototypical anti-globalization tone. Lewis and Klein are intelligent individuals and are highly respected in the anti-globalization movement; they can't make the claim, in my opinion, to be objective and any more insightful than typical journalists however. They didn't give much background on the myriad of economic crises that Argentina has experienced during the past century; or its multiple forays into military dictatorship and how that history undoubtedly contributed to the economic dysfunction that has become indicative of Argentina in the past decade or two.

    Lewis and Klein should have provided better explanations about a lot of things that went on in Argentina rather than spewing the "Globalization is awful" diatribe that has become characteristic of leftist movements in the past decade or so. There is more to be explored, analyzed and explained if people are really going to start thinking differently and using alternative models of development. I honestly expected more of Lewis and Klein - something beyond one-sidedness; I expected a lot more analysis, discussion and explanation from intellectuals of their calibre. That being said, it's hard to include a great deal of analysis and different views in a short documentary, perhaps they were simply trying to share the story of the people in the film.

    The movie does a good job of telling the story of several Argentineans struggling in an economy that's teetering on the brink of absolute ruin. The movie is effective in communicating the hardships faced by many of the featured individuals, as well as how empowered they feel by the actions they take to improve their lot. The story telling is good, however, in that the viewer really comes to understand the struggles, efforts and goals of the individuals who are basically case-studied in the film.
