Extra Credit Entry- Capitalism: A Love Story


There is a lot that can be said about filmmaker Michael Moore. Some People are fans, others, not as much. But if there is one thing everyone can agree on, his films bring strong points. 
Capitalism: A Love Story focuses on how Capitalism has changed in America and become a country for the rich and exclusively the rich. It's topic is that Capitalism is hurting each and every one of us in various ways.

It may sound like an unconvincing topic, but he delivers. His documentary is filled to the brim with stunning visual, anecdotes, analogies, statistics, humor, tragic imagery and personal testimonies.


Unfortunately, very little footage or screenshots exist outside of the movie, but it is filled to the brim with American spirit. It begins with a short story about Ancient Rome, and uses American imagery to tell his audience what his theme is. He admits that at first, capitalism worked at first, and it was a happy period in American history. That is until it all began to collapse. 
Soon this became 
this.

For those who haven't seen Capitalism, regardless of your political party, it is worth the effort to watch it. Filled to the brim with amazing visuals, Michael Moore makes a solid point and gives his audience a shocking view of America.
