Film review: 'Capitalism - A Love Story' directed by Michael Moore : Comments

By David Calleja, published 8/12/2009

Michael Moore gives the impression that in 'Capitalism' he has bitten off more than he can chew.

Pelican “Who knows what Moore does with his money he may be a philanthropist and donate much of his money to good causes.”

Looking at his waist line, he probably spends more on what he puts in his mouth than the national budget of many third world countries

Wobbles “This illustrated the point that they will do anything to make money, even to the point of potentially denouncing and discrediting themselves.”

“They”?

versus “us” - sounds like more small-minded envy than anything

and

Jay Thompson “an easy punching bag for the Right”
And “those of us on the "political left."

“libertarian capitalists” value the notion that all, including the fool, are free demonstrate their “wisdom” with their own words.

whereas

the censors, most popular among the manipulative and controlling governments of the political left, opt to silencing the fool and the sage equally

but when it comes to being a fool, Michael Moore is a walking advert for a slobbering buffoon.

Bronwyn “extremely tight, cohesive and well rounded”

Somehow, I thought you might say that!

Which makes it sound like an extremely large set of buttocks trying to squeeze into a pair of size 8 jeans

I am now experiencing flashing images of a female Michael Moore struggling with the aforementioned pair of jeans

aaaarrrrgghh

Ah Col, no wonder you have to keep recycling the same old sound bites from decades long past, when here you're presented with serious analysis and uncomfortable home truths and all you can think of is buttocks and waistlines. :)

Why don't you go see the movie and you might be able to contribute meaningfully.

Col,

"They" being those who are the subject of the film - not as somebody opposed to "us".

You're the one who has personalised it into an attack on the messenger while ignoring the message.
