As always with Michael Moore I always learn something from his films that the mass media chooses to not explore. Why is he so hated? I have liked all of his films and he is smart to use the same format (old commercials and footage form the 50’s, 60’s, & 70’s, confronting politicians on the street, and trying to see CEO's of major companies). Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? It’s called a love story because as with all love affairs that have gone wrong it involves lies, betrayal, and deceit. In this case Capitalism has been feeding America the propaganda that everyone has an opportunity to be rich in America but we don’t and the intent is to divide the country into 2 groups the rich and the poor.
Some of you may not agree with Moore’s movies but he did Roger & Me about General Motors 20 years ago and predicted their downfall. He was also right about Geroge Bush in Fahrenheit 9/11, most of America didn’t like the movie until America’s love affair with Bush was over.
Moore’s movie’s give his opinion without the feeling that you are being preached to. If you liked his previous films you will like Capitalism
Verdict: To be honest it was a scary movie.
