Flash on Genius

Over the weekend I saw a movie called Flash on Genius.  Flash on Genius is about a man who invited the automatic windsheld wipper back in the middle 1960's.  The man was a private inventor and also worked as a college professor.  One day, his partner introduced him to Ford, the company.  Ford was interested in his idea and was about to buy it from him.  However, Ford declined the proposition and decided not to go with the idea, so it seemed.  About a year down the road, the inventor saw his invention on Ford models and decided to go after Ford corporation for stealing his pattens.  It was a very long and gruesome battle taking on one of the world's largest corporations especially when he did it by himself.  It took 12 years for the whole process to be completed when the jury found Ford was guilty and awarded the inventor with 28.9 million dollars. 

In my opinion, I believe that Ford was completely wrong.  Ford, like a lot of other major corporations who are big and powerful, think that they could just steal and bride their way through the world.  In this case Ford got caught for doing something very wrong and showing the world what kind of people there really are.  I am happy that the inventor in this case got what he deserved.  I choose to write about this because I believe that people show get credit when they deserve it and make the best of it.

The International

During this weekend, I went to see the movie The International.  The movie was about a bank in Europe that was doing illegal business to turn a profit.  The bank was using its client's money and purchasing weapons from arm dealers and selling them to the Middle East to control the war conflict.  You may wonder why a bank wants to control a war.  The reason is because war means debt and debt means money for the bank.  If the bank can control the war through the guns that it sells, the bank can make a phenomenal amount of money.
