DO SOMETHING!, April
15, 2010 CAPITALISM is another
little gem of a masterpiece from the propaganda Left-leaning documentary film
director Michael Moore. This time he aims directly at the financial Oligarchs
who literally own & run the United States--and possess 99% of the wealth.
He does this by targeting such nation defining events as the Second Great Crash
of Wall Street, near collapse of the mortgage industry, the carefully
orchestrated Bail Out of the very wealthy at the expense of the middle class,
the class dominated response to hurricane Katrina, the reprehensible practice
by corporate entities like Wal-Mart of taking health insurance policies on
unwitting--referred to as "peasants" behind closed door--hoping they
will kick the bucket so the company can cash-in on million $$$ death...&
more. [As you'll see below, the Wal-Mart material really got me
riled & I did some personal investigation on my own to check it out--and
sure enough, this really unethical--and should be criminal--practice has been
well documented by experts in the field other than Moore.] Review: JEFarrow Updated 5/10 www.gnostics.com
CAPITALISM A Love StoryRodger Moore
By the time the film got to the "peasant policy" section of the movie
(the insurance policies section), I was so angry that my heart was actually
pounding as if reacting to a major stimulant. It was the type of visceral
reaction you just don't experience from most films today. This is why Moore's
rather mild mannered on-screen persona, conceals the talent of an artistic
lion.
I was bemused to glance over the most negative reviews here on Amazon. They
read like name cards of the Tea Party, Obama-hating, Socialist-baiting
reactionaries crawling out of the woodwork for that great big 15 minutes under
the glare of the capitalist spotlight. One reviewer chides Moore for being a
propagandist rather a documentary film director. I say three cheers for someone
who has the passion to be an anti-capitalist documentary film director. I
applaud Moore for having the guts to stand up for the "common people"
in their struggle to survive in a country of vultures.
But reactionaries take heart; there is an irony of sorts at CAPITALISM'S
conclusion. Instead of stating "The End" or even "Finis,"
Moore has "DO SOMETHING!" The irony, of course, is that no one knows
exactly what to do & there are no leaders apparently able to...well, to
lead us in what has to be done. The only thing most of us seem able to do is
keep our heads above water & watch the parody of dark fairy tale "Tea
Parties."
