Capitilism: A Love Story (2009)

I think Micheal Moore is largely right; capitalism is an often cruel inherently selfish system, the problem being that none of the proposed alternative systems have really worked either. It's good to point out the problems however and Moore does a good job of this. It's right up his ally, essentially a compilation of everything he's done into one movie. He trys to confront business men, he feels sorry for poor people, he uses clips from old educational film, he gives you a sort of one sided history of his chosen subject matter. But too me he didn't come of as craven as he sometimes does. Certainly this is a critique of the statues quo that many people would benefit from hearing.
