Capitalism: A Love Story

Post by Harlowe »

It was actually pretty good. I think it was equally tough on members of both parties and had very little of his forced drama (just a little towards the end with the crime scene tape around Wall Street and asking for our money back). It received a 72% fresh overall.
So think these covered my take as well...
In a movie long on symbols, dead peasants are the most egregious, but a close second would be the rah-rah "confidential" Citibank memo about the United States having become a "plutonomy."
It's not ... that he's entirely opposed to capitalism; what he's really going after is the corporatism that has made profit a goal beyond all ethical considerations.
...unlike the manipulation of facts and imagery used to make his cases in "Bowling for Columbine" and "Fahrenheit 9/11," here a more restrained Moore comes across as more fair and even handed than he has in years

According to Mr. Moore's LKL interview, you should download/steal this movie.
