Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) Review
Tags: Michael Moore
This time around, Michael Moore takes on Capitalism in the United States, Wall Street and how the financial instruments in the US are destroying the social fabric of the country.
The Truth
Capitalism: A Love Story brings up some myths, discussions and alternate ideas to the Capitalist system. While you may disagree with Moore’s view on Capitalism, he certainly brings up some fun, valid points that make you rethink the American dream.
Whether it’s the bailing out of the banks, the huge scandals on Wall St or the mistreatment of unionized workers, Michael Moore delivers an entertaining look at our social fabric.
I was very interested in the secret memos Moore brought to light, especially the most damaging by Citigroup. His uncovering of the finance committee scandals, and the people who are pulling the strings, is brilliant.
Moore has a way of delivering a point of view calmly and rationally, like he’s talking to a 10 yr old. Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism?
You’ll Like It If
Fans of Michael Moore will love this film, as much as Roger and Me. If you are enticed by scandal, conspiracies and bailouts you’ll really enjoy this film.
What I learned
I’ll never invest a dime in Citigroup, and I had planned to this week.
The Verdict
Moore has a way of delivering a point of view calmly and rationally, like he’s talking to a 10 yr old. Capitalism: A Love Story brings a lot of very interesting, yet disturbing, details about the corrupt system in place, and it makes you think.
Capitalism: A Love Story is a winner, check it out on DVD, I highly recommend it.
