Review of Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) by Elizabeth H — 31 May 2010

Not one of Moore's best, but an educational watch non the less. Nice to get a recap of why we're in the mess we're in and with a healthy reminder that it doesn't matter which side of the political fence you sit, the banks always win.

It's also good to see how 'socialism' and anti capitalism crept into American culture to also mean 'unpatriotic' or 'ungodlike'. Less entertainment value and more balanced than his previous efforts with half a dozen streams clumsily dovetailed at once.

Considering how many hard facts he's laced with, it's a surprise he goes for the unnecessary sentimentality and still drops in his personal angles on a few occasions. Saying that, his message is well documented.

Who'd have thought that Roosevelt, with his '2nd Bill Of Rights' could have averted all this? A good documentary that we should see more of it's like.
