20 years after Roger & Me, Michael Moore returns to the subject most close to his heart; the distribution, or lack thereof, of money.
Capitalism: A Love Story is both humorous and disturbing, a documentary of the financial ills that affect America, where they're from and how the US has got to the point where its, and therefore the global economy, effectively collapsed.
This though is only half the story and the film stands back and asks 'Who exactly is running America?'. The answers he gives are unsettling on a number of levels, not least during his examination of where 700 billion US dollars went in the bailout rushed through the Senate and why it is almost impossible to track.
The film is also a personal story and with great compassion he shows how individuals suffer from the decisions made, not just by those whom they chose to govern them, but by those who stalk and lobby from Wall Street. In addition we see that some have chosen to stand up and say 'No; enough is enough'.
I enjoyed and appreciated this film for its eye-opening appreciation of why the global economy is now in the state it is and why some individuals are making fortunes despite, or because of it. I recommend you make the time to go see it.
