The movie Roger and Me portrays a good view on how the human mind works and how fast society can spread a simply Idea or thought into reality. The idea that the American dream is so unachievable has become a reality for the people in Flint. The people have tweaked and altered the very nature of what the American dream actually is so much that it has become nothing more then a pot of gold that resides at the end of a rainbow. The people of Flint Michigan have locked the American dream up and lost the key. The thing that in cages their dreams is their very own mind and nothing more.

Roger Ebert’s response to the film would be anything but unoriginal. Most people in watching the film would say its more sad and depressing, the settings and events that take place make it relavent and true that this film is depressing but Roger thinks its more hilarious and more of a game in which one side looses but rises from their own ashes. He finds it ironic in a sense.
