Capitalism: A Love Story

Pros: Compelling stories make a good case that modern Capitalism is failing us
Cons: Old Michael Moore stunts are getting tiresome - the movie is uninspired and uninspiring

It is safe to say that this movie won’t be a hit in Germany. Playing at the local theater under the title “Kapitalismus, eine Liebesgeschichte”, on a Sunday evening Michael Moore’s recent effort only attracted 9 viewers ...

Pros: A movie that wants you to use your brain.
Cons: Moore is manipulative & smug. Without reason movie is rate R !

Michael Moore’s latest cinematic essay Capitalism: A Love Story will NOT win the filmmaker many brand new fans but it should keep the one’s he has pretty happy.  More Moore? If you somehow don't know about Moore ...

Pros: Worrying.
Cons: Wearying.

Michael Moore movies used to be a lot of fun, but this one is not so much fun as it is, well, stun. He gives us a powerful message about the "evils" of capitalism (ironically, three Roman Catholic priests are the main ethical authorities on "good" ...

Pros: lots of different aspects of capitalism presented, things I was completely unaware of
Cons: quite one-sided in its presentation

I haven't seen all of Michael Moore's films, but when I had the chance to see his latest Capitalism: A Love Story I figured I'd go watch it. He does always present me with material I was previously unfamiliar with and while I don't always agree ...

Pros: A decent attempt by Moore to inspire public outrage and populist movement.
Cons: I'm not sure if the people will revolt or just attack Moore for it.

Don’t call this film a Documentary because its not. In order to be a documentary, the film would have to “Present facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter”. And that’s something Michael ...

Pros: Funny, inspiring, infuriating.
Cons: Hodge podge, Moore seems a bit tired.

Capitalism: A Love Story is far from a bad film.  Michael Moore finds two hours worth of stories to alternately inspire, anger, amuse and touch his liberal audience (and mostly just anger his conservative critics).  He and his filmmaking ...

Pros: Excellent documentation.  When Moore makes a specific claim he backs it up with evidence.
Cons: Moore implies a lot of things that are iffy.

My mind swims right now with stories of "Dead Peasants," the "Economic Meltdown," and simply "Corporate Greed." There are so many other aspects of this movie but to be honest, I'm having trouble keeping them all separated in my mind. This is not to say ...

Pros: Packed with information, A good fundamental argument, Generally well-presented
Cons: Shotgun approach arguing, Doesn’t nail the points home.

                  Every now and then, I encounter a film where I sit, enjoy it and I know that the American population just isn't getting it.  Movies like "Blood Diamond" ...

Pros: The usual mountains of info and evidence; stories of common people pushed to the brink.
Cons: The equally usual PR demonstrations that make Moore a lightning rod for the Right.

Throughout his entire career as both an author of very left-leaning missives and a writer/director of subversive documentaries, Michael Moore has been a friend to many, and an enemy to just as many.  Back in 1989, his film Roger & Me told ...

Pros: have your opinion
Cons: It is rated R. Point of view is from one person

When I first heard about this movie all I knew about it was, Michael Moore is making a new movie. Who is Michael Moore and why are some people afraid of him. Well Michael Moore is a director of Capitalism: A Love Story. Michael Moore takes us into ...
