Capitalism: A Love Story

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkTkY...eature=related

This movie will be his best so far. A little comedy as well. What do all of you think?

I'm a socialist and this looks horrible. I simply hate Moore's tactics and gimmicks. The parts where he tries to make a citizens arrest and shows up with an empty sack to get the taxpayer's money back are both so corny it makes my head hurt. I wish there was someone with a little more intellectual muscle making an anti-capitalism movie. This looks like just petty bourgeois crap: "'BIG BUSINESS' is the problem, if we just had friendly mom and pop shopkeeper capitalists we'd all be great!"

Looks brilliant!

Moore is a hack on the level of Glenn Beck, just not as pathetic.

Uh its Moore it will be filled with propaganda nonsense as are all his movies, may as well talk about tonights OReilly factor. The movie evidently concludes like this according to LA Times:

"Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil," the two-hour movie concludes. "You have to eliminate it and replace it with something that is good for all people and that something is democracy."

There you have it, the same man who mocked Axis of evil is now declaring a system as being evil. Dunno why someone just doesnt taser his fat ass when he shows up with a camera in people's face. Hopefully one day Moore will be found dead in his bathroom in a puddle of his own vomit from stuffing his face with cheeseburgers bought from the "evil" capitalism that has made his career.

Yep, they are one in the same in types of people they are.

He's not exactly calling Capitalism bad. He's just calling it bad in it's current state with the bailouts and Congressional corruptness

If the movie does end as LA Times says "Capitalism is an evil, and you cannot regulate evil" well then that is pretty much stating it is bad Besides Moore's trackrecord is pretty much clear that he has no use for a system that has made him fat and rich.

that trailer makes me want to walk into General Motors and fire big bosses since the taxpayers literally own it

Yeah but sorry just cant trust Moore's editing after what he did with Heston in Bowling (http://www.hardylaw.net/Bowlingtranscript.html). You wanting to do that is exactly the response trash bag like Moore wants and if he cant get it legitimately he just makes it up.

It may be spliced, but reading the full transcript i dont think it makes a difference.It was still in poor taste. I think it's you who've missed the point - that it's not about the speech given that day, but that *from my cold dead hands* is heston's attitude in general, he'll do what he pleases, regardless of public opinion.

The context is completely different and no but I didnt miss the point, evidently editing someones speech to change complete phrases is acceptable to you. Moore tried to get across that Heston was doing this right after the shootings as if throw it into people's faces, which was not even remotely the case.

It's gonna be nice. Moore's movies are based on very good and honest political arguments and ideas

Lol, just laugh.

Didnt say I liked the man, just this particular movie

but I dont think any move has dead accurate description.

I know Im just saying how can you like it if you dont even know how much of it is true and how much of it is pure bs created by Moore. Its like listening to Rush Limbaugh for news.

Dead accurate? The man changed Heston's speech around to make it sound defiant....that is beyond not just being accurate that is in awhole different realm of pure propaganda.

I believe 300 million people know of the bailouts. This just gives a more...exciting approach I guess you could say.

I know. Making Heston look so freakin evil and stupid.

Ah...propaganda. I think I listen to that alot every 4 years.

It's gonna be nice. Moore's movies are based on very good and honest political arguments and ideas, but, as others said, his humor and general acting is rather corny.

It's going to be funny, informativeI doubt it.

Yet his approach is an easy one and can make regular guys get more interested in the current state of the American/Global economic crisis.
Which is exactly why we are so ed up none gives a damn about the economy anywhere.

Capitilism feeds that fat pigs pockets! No to mention government bailouts and such are Socialistic....
