Capitalism: A Love Story examines the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). The film moves from Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan. With both humor and outrage, the film explores the question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore goes into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal...and 14,000 jobs being lost every day. Capitalism: A Love Story also presents what a more hopeful future could look like. Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do? (from imdb.com)
happy valentine's day, anyone?
Michael Moore's documentaries tend to be up and down for me. Great opening, lags somewhere in the middle and I'd wake up during the credits.
ReplyDeleteAt least, that's what happened when I watched the Columbine High shooting film.
*sigh*
it does require concentration. i've watched bowling for columbine and the thing that stayed with me after the documentary was, canadians apparently do not lock their doors. if someone break into their homes and stuff are missing, they think people who steal them must have need it more than them. how great is that?
