What can I say; it's another Michael Moore documentary. It has style, it has flare, if it were a Jewish woman with big hair, a nasal cavity issue, and a mother who eats too much, I'd say we'd have the Nanny. Only its not, it's far beyond the American laborer euphemism, it delves directly into the very issue that this country faces today.
Let's face it, our country, our economy, and our morals, are in the dumpster. With 10+% nationwide unemployment, people being ripped out of their homes and put out on the streets, there is no wonder to the depravity that exists. Michael Moore's film touches on all of this and then some. You'll be surprised by the tactics and horrors that this "capitalist" system has unleashed upon the majority populace at large.
I would dare to compare Capitalism: A love Story to Moore's early works, of Sicko and Bowling for Columbine, but there is no comparison. Where Sicko enlightened its viewers on the problems of health care in the US, and Bowling enlightened us to the demise of social morality in our schools and the lengths to which some kids feel they must go to be heard. Capitalism does something more, it tears a gaping hole into the very fabric of the US social system. Children can be ignored, the uninsured can be ignored, but when our economy is being flattened by greedy upper echelon scrooges who'd rather watch the country crumble before their feet instead of doing the right thing that is when a documentary like this is necessary.
No doubt there will be nay sayers; there will be those who denounce it as another docudrama that has no real merit. Let me say this to you who will with out a doubt argue this Devil's Advocate POV, watch it, look at the people who are affected, do the research and find the truth out. If it corroborate with what Moore said, then say that it did and be truthful to the facts. If it doesn't also be truthful to the facts and make your voice heard, but do not right this documentary off like you have done so in the past.
For those of you new to Michael Moore films, see this documentary, learn about the state of our country and ask questions. Ask and ask and ask and ask again until you get the right answer, the best answer, and above all else the most truthful answer. So you can make right what the past has most certainly done so wrong.
