Capitalism: A Love Story review

Posted : 9 years, 8 months ago on 20 August 2014 05:33

Moore’s smartarse style can be irritating but here his full frontal polemic hits the nail bang on the head; the US brand of Capitalism, as practised since Ronald Reagan and his croney Donald Regan set the bull loose, is a rotten system.

I was particularly pleased that along the way Moore skewered the Right’s ridiculous appropriation of Christianity; the public have been well and truly hoodwinked on that line. The corruption of privatised criminal justice, with profits made from the incarceration of youngsters for trivial offences, was both telling and troubling. Of course the media continues its dirty brainwashing on behalf of the corporate exploiters. It’ll take a lot more than Michael Moore for the necessary change, but the film does show the potential of a united stand and that even in the US it hasn’t always been this way; Franklin D Roosevelt’s intended Bill of Rights a poignant missed opportunity and an alternative that should still be aimed for.

Better than 9/11

Yeah I will say that because it is. I do like Fahrenheit 9/11, but there some flaws I didn't really believe. This movie made sense a lot. All this stuff seems true, and when he goes to the banks to protests it really cracked me up, not because there's a chubby guy outside the bank but because of he approaches it. I would do the same, just saying. What I really liked is that he really took it out on both sides. He blamed both sides for making mistakes. Its not just democrats, and its not just republicans, that's why I really liked this movie because he really look into everything and really looked at both sides.
