Review of Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) by Bethc. — 12 Oct 2009

This is perhaps one of Moore's less focused films, and his performance art (such as wrapping the crime scene tape around the AIG Building) doesn't work for me. Yet parts of this film are certainly thought-provoking, even for those who don't completely agree with Moore's politics.

Isn't it frightening that many of our airline pilots are barely making $20,000 per year and need to hold down second jobs? The footage of Franklin Roosevelt is fascinating. And it does end with some positive notes - the account of the recent sit down strike in Chicago, for example.

Even if Moore isn't at his best, he still manages to be entertaining.
