Synopsis
Almost forty years after its first appearance in You The Better, the house returns as a character in Beckmanβs new work Reach Capacity, now symbolising real estate. The economic and political elements and the structure of the film are closely associated with the most famous of all board games dealing with real estate, Monopoly. Its origins go back to the early 1900s, when Elizabeth Magie created a first version of what she called The Landlordβs Game. Magieβs game had two sets of rules, a Prosperity set and a Monopolist set (only the latter was kept by Parker Brothers when they further developed the game without her). Magieβs aim was to illustrate how society as a whole thrives when monopolies are banished and income is distributed equally. Beckman takes over Magieβs dual game structure by having her screen flip over when a monopoly is reached.
