The movie Capitalism with Michael Moore was interesting because I really never knew about this problem in America. I thought it was going to be a boring movie about politics or something to do with government, yet it surprised me with the entertaining little comedy scenes that brightened up the audience from all of the sad scenes in the movie. I like that movie also was very information about capitalism because I had no idea what it was. I mean I am only eighteen, so this politics and stuff doesn’t really concern me yet. Even with that said I did like the movie, I remember when it came out in the movies thinking it that this movie looks super boring and that I would never watch this movie. In English 101, our teacher made us watch a film about corporate farming and how the big companies like Tyson would treat animals horrible and they were very informational about the problem trying to persuade the audience like that capitalism about the problem and really try to change.
Yeah I felt that way about the movie too. I just didn't really understand what was going on with "big banks" and why I should be so upset about my tax money being taken. I definitely understand the feeling of being eighteen and not seeing how things like this effect you, but I think they do.
ReplyDeleteHi Kayla,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on the funny scenes, every time they came up I was happy they were there and were able to lighten the mood every once and a while because the sadness, tension, and anger were almost palpable. I also agree that I didn't know what capitalism really was and now I feel like it is more clear, since all of the examples/interviews given in the movie were so specific towards capitalism.
