Moore’s New Film Now Has Trailer AND Title
This trailer aired before Moore’s new project had a name, but now we know what he plans to call it. The title is Capitalism: A Love Story and it’s almost like he enjoys feeding the right’s viewpoint that he’s a communist America-hater. In his last film, his trip to Cuba wasn’t exactly helping things, and now with his new film dedicated to showing how capitalism caused the financial crisis, I’m pretty sure he’s landed himself on a whole bunch of watchlists.
That’s the thing about Moore. He’s always very adept at pointing out stupidity in our country, but he’s not very good at figuring out solutions. What’s his plan this time if capitalism doesn’t work? Socialism? Communism? Electing one-supreme galactic emperor? Even being liberal myself, I can’t help but role my eyes at most of what he throws out there.

Well, let’s hope he learned from his reviewers of his older movies, so that there is not so much one-sided but really justified critic!
Despite his douptful methods I think it’s better that someone who gets attention shows things up, than anyone does who doesn’t get any recognition. That way I do not really have a problem with micheal moore since he’s not harming anyone (besides the american ego).
Well, it could easily just be critique of American capitalism. The States tends to have a great deal less government intervention in it’s markets than most other industrialized western nations. This caused the recession in the US to be much more harsh then it is in Canada, for example. I know that “socialism” is kind of a taboo term in the States, but many western countries have more governmental intervention in their capitalist economies that leads to a mixture of socialism and capitalism. It seems rather one-dementional to view it as an argument for either capitalism or socialism; it can easily be a shade of grey.

Socialism is a really dirty word here in the U.S.; Obama’s critics throw the term around quite a bit it seems. I doubt this is going to be an attack on capitalism as a theory and practice, I think instead Moore is simply going to narrow his focus to the inherent human flaw of greed.
Personally, I don’t think government should play too big a role in the private financial affairs of its citizens. But that’s just me…we’ll see what Moore has to say about it.
