Capitalism: A Love Story Movie Review

Michael MooreMichael Moore as Mother Theresa?

Capitalism: A Love Story is about the unfair income distribution in America, due to Capitalism. Michael Moore continues to fight for the poor and middle class, in his documentaries, in the hopes of being the modern-day Robin Hood to steal from the rich and provide for the poor and helpless. He describes the rich getting richer because of their greed, power, corruption and manipulation, while the poor and middle class remain poor, helpless, and without hope for their future.

Time is money is constantly emphasized in this documentary as Michael Moore visits big corporations to demand the American people’s money back, and the security guards refuse to let him enter and meet with the CEOs. He continues to hound corporate America, and they give him indirect or unclear answers to his questions. Furthermore, the media messes with the public’s mind, trying to scare them in order to further manipulate and brainwash them into acting according to the power of Capitalism, like a subliminal hypnosis and mind control machine, promising Americans a better future, a future that some will never obtain because of lack of funds and/or opportunities that are given to more affluent people who can afford it. On top of that, the political war continues. The republicans mock Barack ObamaBarack Obama because he is trying to create socialism, while the democrats mock the republicans as greed-mongers. When will the hatred end?

The documentary ends with a crime scene yellow tape marking business buildings. And, therefore, signifying that this love story has a tragic ending for the American middle class society because their American Dream is forever gone and Capitalism has killed their hopes for a better life and future, for their families.
