The vast majority of people just won't understand this film as they can't see that they themselves are slaves.

As the famous quote from The Matrix so effectively put it 'You have to understand. Most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.'

The Jones Plantation is an excellent film that articulates the illusion of democracy and the desire of most people to abdicate responsibility for their own lives to someone else.

Given the tiny budget, I thought the quality of the film was still good and some of the acting, in particular Mr Smith, was excellent.

The importance of the message that this film is trying to convey is profound. It is the root source of most wars, poverty and corruption that we see in the world today. Sadly most people just don't get it or even want to get it. They are blissfully living their comfortable lie.

The Jones Plantation Credits (JPCs) is a nice touch and demonstrates in a very simple way how all fiat currencies are worthless pieces of paper that can be created at will and in unlimited quantities by the powerful. Also the creation of debt as a method of control is cleverly incorporated.

Finally the use of fear as an effective method of coercion is demonstrated multiple times throughout the film. There is always some bogeyman just around the corner who is going to get you and so you need the plantation owner to protect you.

Well done to the producers of this film. Let's hope that in some small way it moves us towards a more free and peaceful world.

Considering its tight budget, the film turned out to be not so bad, after all. I still prefer the animated version, it is more powerful in delivering the message. The feature film delivers a different message - that wage slavery is better than chattel slavery. Yes, there are hints of government with the flag waiving, pledging of allegiance, the whole elections circus... but no explicit mention of it. On the other hand, it is a no-brainer that a plantation is a privately owned company.

What no one is talking about, and hardly anyone even noticed, is that Noah was actually promoting socialist ideas in his one-minute speech. So there's the irony: a bunch of capitalist simps, in an attempt to expose government, unwittingly exposed capitalism for what it is. They claim, or so they were taught, that capitalism is "voluntary" and stands for "freedom". And they are right - you can choose your master AND pay the bills all by yourself instead of being at his mercy. And if you work very hard, one day you can become a slave master too.

There is trouble on the plantation. The slaves are becoming restless. The jig is up and the owners are fearing they will lose the farm, or worse. So, with the help of Mr. Smith, the owners forge stronger, more diabolical, chains.

It is hard to tell people about things they cant see. This movie makes it crystal clear. If those without eyes still cant see what is enslaving them after this film, then they are blind by choice. At the very least, THE VERY LEAST, this film is a conversation starter. Not many movies are even that nowadays. I recommend watching this film at least once. Its awesome to see what can be done with a $50,000 budget.
