Capitalism: A Love Story examines the impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans (and by default, the rest of the world). The film moves from Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan. With both humor and outrage, the film explores the question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Families pay the price with their jobs, their homes and their savings. Moore goes into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and he goes looking for explanations in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-familiar symptoms of a love affair gone astray: lies, abuse, betrayal...and 14,000 jobs being lost every day. Capitalism: A Love Story also presents what a more hopeful future could look like. Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do?

Michael Moore dis a great documentary. This should be played in every school in the world and I encourage at least every North American to see it.

I also recommend the documentary Food Inc.

You're joking, right? It's Michael Moore. His movies are "documentaries" in quotes. I have see a couple of his "documentaries", and they are not documentaries. They are just vehicles for him to push his point of view. Leaving things out or misrepresenting things is not what a documentary does.

Being Michael Moore, I can bet it is pretty safe to assume that this is an anti-capitalism movie, saying how evil capitalism is, without stating the positives of capitalism, and that we should live like they do in Cuba, where everyone has nothing. I haven't seen the film, but when talking about the financial crisis and the housing meltdown, does he at all mention that it was partially caused by Bill Clinton when he pushed for more sub-prime lending, thus making banks give mortgages to people who could not afford it, but in some cases giving mortgages to people who were in no way qualified for them, and putting the lenders at more risk? I doubt it.

So no, this should not be shown in every school in the world. I would rather they get proper facts and all the facts about subjects than just what Michael Moore wants to tell them.

You know, I liked his first movie, "Roger & Me". That was about as close to a real documentary as Moore has gotten to since then. I recommend double-checking any facts Moore presents so those who watch his "docs" can make up their own minds.

That's what I did with his Fahrenheit movie. It turns out a lot of what he presented was fudged or just not true.

It's basically something you have to do with politically motivated "documentaries".

Oh yay! Michael Moore takes another Liberal dump on the gullible American public. Ok I think many Americans over the past year have gotten a lot less gullible, but man he does not know how to make a documentary. Or should I say he like to make documentaries not for truth but to deviate from the truth.
