Capitalism explores the root causes of the global economic meltdown and takes a
comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans that culminated
in what Moore describes as "the biggest robbery in the history of this
country" - the massive transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to private
financial institutions.
Moore has a great ability to make rather
complex issues fairly palatable to Joe Public, and he does a pretty
decent effort to make some sense of the complete sham the GFC was.
For
most, the film will leave you fuming at what we've allowed our
politcians to get away with, and kind of depresses you knowing that no
matter how much you try - at the end of the day - there really isn't to
much you can do about it.
Sure, the idea of a "Staff Lock In" is
inspiring - but the reality is, there are some greedy SOB's who are
still skipping from country to country with the tax dollars YOU earned
and the goverment happily gave to them.
It's yet another eye opening affair into a world very few know about or understand, and that can only be a good thing. DVD Special Features
Not a great deal on offer here - although if you keep
an eye out, there is bound to be a version with full, uncut interviews.
It's within the full interviews that the real story lies. Conclusion:
