“America, you are surrounded!”

The American Dream - Millions of hope to realize it, the fewest ever generate. Worse, plenty of Americans suffer from the sometimes odd excesses of capitalism. For example, a relatives is forced to leave their homes, which he’s built up 20 years long. Or a wife who loses her husband and then learns that the bank has worked for which they collects for him a princely sum insured, without providing even a pony to the high cost of funerals. Or, finally, a pilot who earns so small, despite its high level of responsibility that they is compelled to exercise a second job.
Capitalism: A Love Story

Movie rating

That are four of countless examples, raising doubts as to whether capitalism as preached since the finish of World War II the way to greater happiness, prosperity and happiness for the whole population was. But what is wrong with capitalism? Why are the people hostage to sizable corporations? Why are there so plenty of victims and so few beneficiaries? Burning questions that won’t leave unanswered the Michael Moore - which is why they travels in search of answers across The united states.

Autumn 2008: The global financial crisis takes its wicked work, and outbid the newspapers every day with horror stories. Who can it spoil Michael Moore, if they takes this as an opportunity, in his new film another quiver full of poisoned arrows loszufeuern against anything that smells of some way to the bank bosses sizable Mercedes? Finally, since this is his first film 20 years ago, Roger & Me, his body and stomach issue. Moore cited his debut in Capitalism because even several times.

His ironically titled “Love Story” is - again - not so much a documentary as a wild polemic (his opponents might say: propaganda) against the powerful business community. And in plenty of respects they is right. Like no other, they knows how to put your finger on sore spots and poke in the fact that it is not stirring, but is also highly entertaining. Of work, they is also three times again a highly manipulative way to work. Will hot, fades out consistently, which does not fit in to the concept or randomly picks out individual stories, and they concludes the whole.

But Moore is allowed to manipulate you. Some scenes are not only original and funny, but also bring the hypocrisy of sure social and political mechanisms pointedly to the point. At the latest when it toward the finish of government and farm buildings with a “Crime Scene” tape to hedge, you have to burst in to laughter, and pay him respect for his bold hyperactivity.

Of work, there is a thousand things that they can three times again Moore’s pamphlet accused. Be strictly black and white world view, for example, the simple distinction between lovely (= small Krüppler) and wicked (ie, the powerful). If Moore is also wiedermal einschiesst on George W. Bush, which is indeed a rewarding aim, which they has exhaustively dealt with in Fahrenheit 9 / 11. When they finally celebrates Obama as a savior, and Democracy postulated as a response to capitalism, then this is nothing over populist Parolenschreierei.

But now, yes. Moore is Moore. That is the advantages and disadvantage. For now his movies are probably seen mostly by those who share his opinion anyway, and rejected by all the rest. Something, however, is new to Capitalism in comparison to its predecessors: Moore is now no more Nobody but a familiar face. Thus the bodyguards and bouncers, which they wants to vorbeischmuggeln is free to take action, each know exactly who they are talking to. And take this with a serene smirk note. Success has also hold its drawbacks.
