I can't believe that some people reviewing this documentary focus on the visual and directorial aspects of it, rather than on the powerful, devastating message

By the way, I like the aestetic chosen, even the mock app, so similar to the ones we use every day.

The truth is that most people don't like this documentary because it undermines the very base of Western society, that is, capitalism.

The truth is not only devastating, but hard to accept.

Our society is based on buying, wasting, polluting. And some people on the other end of the planet will get sick when dealing with our waste, while a few other have shameful multimillionaire profits.

This is a real punch in the gut; everybody must see it and try to change the way we consume.

I was a young girl when this was broadcast in Italy (late 70s) and I hated this series. The very opening title song ("Rock Around the Clock" by Billie Haley) filled me with sadness. Why? The main point of the series was: goofy, clumsy men running after pretty girls and the divide between cool guys (Fonzie) and the rest (the losers). If you identified with the goofy or the non attractive girls it was really hard to appreciate.

I hated Fonzie. He was the typical bully who boasted about his love conquests, he was the good looking guy with the brain of a hamster. I loved shy, introvert Richie, instead, and I was happy to hear about the success of Ron Howard as a director later on.

I didn't like the rest of the family, with the exeption of Marion, the mother. She was a good actress and had a nice role.

I watched again "Happy Days" a few years ago, about 40 years later, and I found it even more stupid than the first time I saw it. The jokes and the plots were incredibly lame. I can't believe this series had such a huge success.
