Capitalism: A Love Story
Recently I've watched Michael Moore’s film Capitalism: A Love Story in my English 102 class.
Before I watched the film I thought it would be extremely boring as well as a waste of time, but now I find myself wanting to watch his other films. The film itself was very insightful. I loved the humor and realism in the video. The film includes real people and real life situations that have happened in the past.
During the film many situations were exposed and Michael Moore was quick to give his sources. Although, he didn't just give his sources, he interviewed them, referenced them, and mentioned them multiple times to ensure the audience knew he had reliable sources. During the movie Moore would get different perspectives just to make sure he wasn't getting a biased opinion. For example, when he interviewed more than one priest to tell the audience why they believed capitalism was evil. While he did give different sources the only thing I struggle with is that he interviewed priests he had relations too and not only that but he also practices in the Catholic religion.
All in all, I did find the film very insightful and it gave me a whole new perspective on capitalism without putting me to sleep. I would very much recommend this film for those who like humor and want to gain some perspective in the process. I would estimate that 80% of the film was definitely not biased but mainly factual. Although some parts can be questionable. With such a controversial subject though, I believe this film was very well displayed.
