The message and the intentions behind this documentary are good. This could have been a much better documentary with more impact had they not added what sounds like an AI voice throughout. The AI voice in combination with the special effects took me out of it. The message and information is something that needs to be out there and people should watch this documentary for that alone but it was a struggle for me to sit through it as the aforementioned choices consistently took me out of the story. I just think they missed the mark with how they delivered the message. But it is definitely a message that many need to hear.
Yes there is a consumption crisis. Yes corporations should hold themselves to a higher ethical standard. Yes it's admirable when people who participate in the exploitation of humanity, walk away and speak their truths. Yes we are pleased there is a top 10 documentary on a major streaming platform addressing sad facts of the matter. No we did not like sasha. No we did not find the lightbulb story relevant considering everything is LED now. No we did not appreciate the flashing lights. This 1 and done short doc is great for elementary aged children and maybe a few grown adults who are still oblivious. Not sure why there was only a few corporations mentioned over and over. Apple products still last on average about 5 years before you either trade up or sell. I have never thrown out an apple product and the landfill shots showed non apple products. An average microsoft products lasts maybe 2 years if your lucky and there is no resale or trade in value on them. I would have liked to see more on Shein and H&M. I wanted to hear more about the sports products. If your going to do a documentary like this at least provide a well needed 10 part series. The waste investigation was really cool and that alone would be a great ongoing series to watch. More needed to be said about the origin of the products when made and the environmental devastation upon inception of a product and the shipments of product. Nothing on electric cars and batteries? All around a decent watch but took forever to get to the point. I almost stopped watching after 5 minutes and kept waiting for the "ah-ha!" moment but it never transpired. Well deserved 7.
Full disclosure, unless you're in complete denial of the consumption culture of today - not much of the information presented in this film will surprise you. If you've decided to watch it, chances are you will already be aware of some of the information presented. It's such an important and relevant topic, which deserves space for intelligent discussion, so it was disappointing that it was presented in such a cheesy and infantilising way. The female robot voice narrating intermittently throughout was particularly annoying that I almost turned it off - fortunately the parts between were interesting and had value. The interviews with key ex-employees of big corps was compelling enough to hold up on it's own, without the bizarre additions which seemed to serve only to fill airtime, which could have otherwise been used to further the message. It's a shame because we need more of this kind of messaging as mass consumption becomes ever more prevalent, I am just hoping the next effort delivers better.
The holidays were the perfect time to watch the documentary, "Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy", which was a timely reminder of the unsustainable consumerism fueling this late stage of capitalism, a system at odds with the health of our planet. This educational and entertaining documentary doesn't break much new ground, but effectively underscores a sobering reality: from floating islands of plastic rubbish in the Pacific to beaches in Ghana choked with discarded fast fashion, our buying habits have dire consequences. While not the most comprehensive take on the issue, its brevity works in its favor, driving home a clear message: we don't need most of the stuff we accumulate. Is it really necessary to rent storage for things we barely use? The new year is a good time to declutter, shop thoughtfully, and embrace small, sustainable changes. If you're looking for a quick dose of inspiration to consume less and live more intentionally, this is worth a watch.
As "Buy Now! The Shopping Experience" (2024 release; 84 min) opens, we get to know Maren Costa, a former Amazon "used experience designer" and inventor of the "one buy click". She details the enormous amount of science that goes into the Amazon buyer experience leading to super easy and quick (impulse?) purchases. But what happens after all that stuff has been purchased? At this point we are less than 10 minutes into the documentary.
Couple of comments: this is the latest from documentarian Nic Stacey ("Codebreaker"). Here he examines two separate but related issues: the first is how big companies like Amazon, Apple, and Adidas (all featured in the documentary) perfect the art of inducing consumers to buy, buy, buy, and then buy some more. The second is what happens with all of the unwanted or expired products afterwards. IT is the second one that is by far the more urgent issue, and the movie is in that sense a natural companion to "An Inconvenient Truth". To give just one example: we learn in this documentary that every day13 million mobile phones get thrown out around the world. Some of the footage in the documentary regarding waste and landfills shocks the conscience.
"Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy" recently started streaming on Netflix. Netflix recommended it to me based on my viewing habits. This documentary is currently rated 81% Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. If you have any interest in the buying experience and what happens with stuff after that, I'd readily suggest you check this out and draw your own conclusion.
