The Yes Men Fix the World

在这部尖锐而搞笑的纪录片中，“没问题侠客”冒充大公司发言人发表言论。
　　
　　 两个40岁左右、长相帅气的男子，把自己打扮得夸张古怪。他们是左翼积极分子，但他们时常冒充大公司发言人发表言论。就这样，他们通过各种恶作剧制造了一次又一次的新闻。他们成功地扮成陶氏化学的发言人，接受BBC新闻台的访问，声明陶氏化学愿意为印度波帕化学泄露的成千上万的受害者进行赔偿。这条环球新闻播放了一个小时，直到陶氏化学出面否认该项声明。他们的恶作剧并非毫无作用，通过努力，他们向人们证明，有志者事竟成。在这部富有娱乐性的纪录片中，导演运用了大量快进镜头和睿智的评论（颇有迈克尔•摩尔的风范），经济学家米尔顿•弗里德曼提出的自由市场是他们的目标。片中还穿插了曾经提出自律市场的里根和克林顿的镜头。片尾，奥巴马的讲话或许代表了一个新纪元的开始：“自由市场并不意味着为所欲为。
　　 n this penetrating and entertaining documentary, the Yes Men impersonate spokesmen of large companies.

Two good-looking men around 40 years old, dressed to the nines. They are left-wing activists, but they impersonate spokesmen of large companies. In that capacity, they succeed in making the news time and again with their hoaxes, such as when they appear on the BBC on behalf of Dow Chemical to announce that the thousands of victims of the gas leak in Bophal, India will finally receive compensation. It is world news for an hour, until the report is denied by Dow Chemical itself. But their hoax was not all for nothing, for they succeeded in showing the world that where there's a will, there's a way. In this entertaining documentary full of fast-paced editing and sharp-witted comment (Michael Moore is never too far away), the Yes Men take aim at the free market of economist Milton Friedman. They show us footage of Reagan and Clinton as well, who both praise the self-regulating quality of the market. The Yes Men contend that unbridled capitalism takes human lives. Finally, Obama passes by with words that might just ring in a new era: "A free market was never meant to be a free license to get whatever you can get, however you can get it."
