Michael Moore's latest documentary about the rise of capitalism and its influence on our society is another solid effort. While not as damning as Fahrenheit 9/11 or emotional as Sicko, it does get you thinking about our economic state and how we've gotten to where we are today. Moore traces how Wall Street has influenced our politics, thus influencing our capitalistic economy, and along the way he sprinkles in some real life examples of those who have been victims to capitalism. Nobody comes off looking very good in this film politics-wise, and you're likely to leave the theatre wondering just how we allowed our current state to happen. |

Michael Moore once again takes on the capitalist establishment and describes how a system that once worked for all was perverted and resulted in the dumbfounding bank bail out scandal of recent years. Personally I think that the citizens of the U.S. in particular need to stop thinking of "socialism" as a dirty word; they have basically been brainwashed by their fat cat overlords into thinking that socialism is the same thing as "totalitarian communism" which is utterly absurd. Watching ordinary working class Joes describing Obama as a "socialist" as if a vote for him was like voting for Chairman Mao is frankly astonishing to anyone outside the American borders. Socialism is a system that works perfectly well within a capitalist framework and is basically just a set of rules organised arou... |
