Capitalism: A Love Story 2009
On the twentieth anniversary of Michael Moore's groundbreaking masterpiece, Roger and Me, Michael Moore's documentary Capitalism: A Love Story returns to a theme the producer has pondered throughout his career: corporate dominance over Americans (and natural its devastating effect on people in other countries). ). Peace). This time, however, the defendant is much larger than General Motors and the crime scene covers a much larger area than the city of Flint, Michigan. From Central America to the halls of power in Washington DC and the world financial center in Manhattan, Michael Moore once again takes moviegoers into uncharted territory. With humor and anger, Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story explores a taboo question: What is the price America has paid for its love of capitalism? Years ago this love seemed so innocent. Today, however, the American dream seems more of a nightmare as families continue to pay with their jobs, housing, and savings. Moore takes his audiences to the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down and seeks explanations in Washington DC and elsewhere. The consequences are exactly the same as the symptoms of crazy love: lies, violence, betrayal... and 14,000 jobs are lost every day. Capitalism: A Love Story is both the culmination of Moore's previous work and a look at what a more hopeful future might look like. This documentary is the ultimate search for the answer to the question Michael Moore posed throughout his brilliant film career: Who are we and why do we act the way we do now?
