HW 9 - Freakonomics Response

After watching the movie I have to say I wasn't as amazed as I was made to believe to by everybody else. It was interesting to watch but I was not shocked or left in aha. There was nothing to me to profound about the movie. Tho the abortion crime link was quite outstanding and the insight made me want to drive deeper in this very "weird" connection.

I did enjoy the movies overall message, i think to often we put more importance into ideology then the hard data . This economics approach is actually understandable, even for me. I found the movie itself to be to scattered .Each chapter, taken on its own, is at times informative and entertaining. But when combined it’s hard to know to understand why these chapters were chosen. I was left kinda left puzzled . I think they should of focused on one chapter, flushing it out to illuminate the message which was very clear in the book.
