achmoye In this movie, Michael Moore talks about several scandals, frauds but also modern-day legal briberies and immoral speculating and bets on life and death, like with life insurance. I will only write one review about Michael Moore's documentaries, because they are all the same, but in a good way. He made several documentaries about diverse problems of USA policies, and I like his vision of documentary. He doesn't try to be "real", he knows that it's cinema and you can't possibly be real. So he confronts you with USA problems, people crying, worst episodes of history, it's really manipulating your feelings, but not as much as propaganda, and we know he is on the right side, so we forgive him. There is no proper way to do documentaries. Michael Moore has its own opinion about it. He developed one method, his method. And you can see his consistency by watching his other movies. You might not like his methods, but he is coherent, his directing makes sense. Michael Moore tries to insert some humor in his work, and it provides an occasion to chill from the disturbing images.He also record himself seeking for the answers, which turns the documentary into an interesting and enjoyable adventure. He is not handsome though, he is kind of fat, but he doesn't care. And that is the whole thing about him : he doesn't care about being confronted with police, administrators, people trying to stop him. His work is useful and relevant because he does it like no one else.

aphrodisiaciix It's 2017, Obama is no longer president, Donald Trump has been in office for over 2 months now. We've seen nothing change since the time of this documentary. The biggest change (and most unpredictable) has got to be... Donald got elected. See the irony? What does that say about the mentality/desire of this nation?Obama's presidency did not do justice to his constituents; and he himself became just another helpless politician in the pockets of the rich of the corrupted Wall Street and corporations.The top 1% is still enjoying their taxes cut and the expansion of their wealth. The middle-class is shrinking both in size and spending power. The low-income class is expanding and continuing to suffer in their dark landscape of misery.Justice is still leaning onto the side of the rich and the privilege ones. The banking industry is still under-regulated and Wall Street is still operating the same way as before the bailout. No one (except maybe a few low-echelon people) in the financial sector get indicted let alone go to prison.The band plays on, the champagne corks pop, and the capitalism party dances all the way to the bank... until the next bailout...

Desertman84 Capitalism: A Love Story is a documentary that features Michael Moore,who also has written and directed the film. It centers on the late- 2000s financial crisis and the recovery stimulus, while putting forward an indictment of the current economic order in the United States and capitalism in general. Topics covered include Wall Street's "casino mentality", for-profit prisons, Goldman Sachs' influence in Washington, D.C., the poverty-level wages of many workers, the large wave of home foreclosures, corporate-owned life insurance, and the consequences of "runaway greed". It also features a religious component where Moore examines whether or not capitalism is a sin and if Jesus would be a capitalist. This theme is of course not serious but satirical, shining light on possible ideological contradictions among evangelical conservatives who support free market ideals.Twenty years after his influential debut, Roger & Me, Michael Moore returns to his roots by pulling back the curtain on capitalism to reveal the insidious role it has played in the destruction of the American dream for many people. Back in 1989, auto workers in Flint, Michigan were lamenting layoffs and wondering how they would support their families without jobs to pay the bills, or benefits to ensure their health. Flash forward two decades, when cities all across the country are feeling the same pressures that Flint residents were back when GM left them high and dry. With an average of 14,000 U.S. jobs lost every day and taxpayer money constantly being pumped into failing financial institutions, the question must be asked: how long can this go on before the entire system collapses? Is there really any hope for Americans who are losing their homes to foreclosure and seeing their savings get wiped out at an unprecedented rate? In order to seek out an answer to this question and many more, Moore takes a trip to our nation's capitol, engaging average Americans in conversations about the prospect of repairing America's failing, debt-ridden economy along the way.Moore is always visually playful and subversive, and even when dealing with such serious and depressing topics entertaining; but he's also game enough to examine America's mythology of prosperity.Also,he is brave enough to discuss about the fall of The American Dream as he acts as our tour guide into the rotten core of his beloved country. And once again, his heart is in the right place.This is one fun and entertaining documentary.

KineticSeoul I seen a couple of Micheal Moore movies in the past and although I didn't agree entirely with what those films try to convey. But what those films did was got me thinking and thus I decided to check this movie out. This is a well crafted documentary and a important film that should be watched by many viewers. It's one of those movies that keep you thinking about today's economy and society after it's over. I don't want to get too deep into the issue and even if the viewers agree or disagree or somewhat agree and somewhat don't, it will keep the viewers thinking. And it can even be powerful sometimes. Even if the viewers know a lot about the issue that is going on such as "rich getting richer and poor getting poorer". But the way it covers the issues make it leave more of a impact and will probably want to deeply know more about the issues that this movie covers. I personally thought this movie covers the points really well while covering some powerful issues of greed. Especially how people commit crimes against humanity the legal way.8.3/10
