Review of The Corporation (2003) by Edgar C — 24 Dec 2010
Def. "Corporation": The Devil amongst us.
No, literally.
The appearance of Michael Moore in this informative and nothing-more-than-fun documentary should have warned me since the beginning.
I can't fully complain, since University made me re-watch this. Well, definitely the debate we had in class and the books we read regarding Problems of Contemporary Civilization were several times more interesting than this pretentious documentary that tells nothing new. Everything is known already. However, the filmmakers decided to extend this to two and a half hours, which is something remarkable already, since they had more than twenty hours of footage initially.
Watch the first half and have a good time; then, you can happily switch off. The Corporation is even hypocritical: it presents one-sided arguments throughout and, in the end, it urges people (err... Michael Moore urges people) to take action. Are solutions provided? No. That can be interpreted as:
"Final conclusion: Stop buying products from corporations and let's return to the farming times.".
Grade: C.
63/100.
