From the very beginning Michael Moore asks the question - Is Capitalism evil , a host of life experiences after , general considerations of the administrators in the game and testimonies from Religious authorities later he comes up with the obvious answer that the original question is a rhetorical one.And whats more , there is not much counter-argument you can make to his premise.
This moving film is based mainly on the experience of capitalism as it affects People within in United States , it does not even begin to explore what keeping the only world superpower at the top of the tree means in terms of overseas interference and military actions , apart from a telling reminder that capitalism needs to completely obliterate other rivals industrial base once in a while to keep up differentials.
The Guardian Newspaper has an excellent and highly thoughtful review from the opening night at the Venice Film Festival.
Michael Moore also gave a deep and interesting interview on the film and its themes for the alternative internet news channel Democracy Now.It comes in five parts and is very worthwhile to watch and learn..In it he gives out harrowing figures such as a repossession notice goes out every 7 seconds in the US today , and the vast majority of repossessions are due to People being unable to make medical care payments.He also discusses his deeply held religious faith and principles.
And below is a trailer which only skims the very surface of a brilliantly crafted and deeply searching film.
