My point was: if you say that "Streets of Plenty" is about a rich kid mocking homless people, you need to pay better attention to the second half of the movie.

Perhaps - I couldn't make it through watching the entire thing after I saw him take donated gifts for the homeless, fake a mental illness and in general act like a total dick towards the situation of homelessness, I skimmed through the rest to see him smoke crack and inject heroin, at which point I determined that this guy was an idiot. I didn't really get the impression that he understood the impact of mental illness on many issues including drug addiction... it might be the only case I have ever seen of anyone doing heroin for no reason at all...
