Born Rich (2003) Full Movie

It was pretty good- for a first time feature by a rich kid and heir to the Johnson and Johnson pharmaceutical company . There were good interviews because he had access to an elite circle of wealth. i didn't know too many of these people at first but of course i've got Wikipedia so that helped. The most interesting point that resinated with me was how these kids were encouraged just to do something. Just because they were born rich- didn't them a license to do nothing. Most of them go on to major universities to pursue their interests and then of course some of them carry on the family business. So overall i liked it.

although the documentary is aimed to change the public's view of the upperclass with pity, it instead makes me feel multiple emotions for these people, including sadness, envy and pity all together. these kids never get to experience a real childhood and are always seen differently than others. just imagining not living my childhood the way i did makes me feel sorry for them, along with the fact that more money means more problems. these kids face a whole new level of problems in their line of business. from proving your worth to your parents to avoiding the paparzzi, these are problems that most of us will never face. even though they are covered for life, this does not insure happiness. i envy the fact that they can spend their lives doing whatever they please, sad that their lives are portrayed as snobby and arrogant when really they are people and have feelings and pity that they will never live a normal average life and that is the only life they know. overall, the concept of this documentary is intresting and he did a great job making it.

Really insightful. We have recently become more facinated with young hollywood and the likes of Paris Hilton types. I think everyone has wondered what it would be like to be born rich. More money more problems... Children of wealth strugle with living up to expectations and fighting the prejuduce of peers growing up. Surpisingly most don't just enjoy the free money but try to do something meaningful. One man even realizes that hard work makes him happy. It may be easy to hate these people but maybe we shouldn't.

The documentary, Born Rich, by Jamie Johnson is an exquisite film that shows a view of the social elite that no one else knew about. The 23 year old, who is worth millions because he is in the heir of Johnson and Johnson wealth, made his film about children who grew up with old and new money. The film explains what it is like to grow up knowing you don't have to work for anything and at some point you will become very wealthy because you were, well, born. As you watch the film you see yourself being envious, angry, and then sad for these kids. Most don't know what to make of themselves.They continue to try and figure out there life like they rest of us, but they have the entire world watching. I would definitely recommend this movie to a friend.
