Reclaim Your Brain [Free Rainer] (2007)
Director: Hans Weingartner
Cast: Moritz Bleibtreu,Elsa Schulz Gambard
The protagonist Rainer is introduced as a coke addicted egotistical maniac, whom seems to have a fascination with the tallying system of television ratings. Where one house is monitored and is counted an estimated 1,500 homes, there is a suspected miscalculation in what audiences might be primarily watching.
Rainer revolts from the superficial and ignorant bliss achieved as producer and results to quitting his job, and enlists the help of his former colleagues granddaughter Pegah, to try to figure out a way to gain the majority of the set top boxes in order to greatly affect what television shows are seen as popular and control the ratings.
I applaud the topic of reality TV as dreadful mindless propaganda,that is a tool for entertainment but is a tool of deflection. Conspiracies are mentioned in the film with references to the book 'Brave New World' and The Freemasons.
An unnecessary amount of scenes are preoccupied with subplots with the group of oddball characters helping with their plan. Whilst the most enjoyable nuggets of the film relied on the impact of television viewing and the adverse reactions on everyday leisure (resorting to reading books for entertainment).
