Capitalism: A Love Story
Noted documentarian Michael Moore takes on Wall Street in his continuing quest to expose unsavory truths about American culture and politics. Detailing American financial history from the time of F.D.R. to present day Moore investigates how, where, and why capitalism has eroded the very principals that America was founded on. Specifically, the film deals with the current housing crisis, recession, and how Wall Street will continue to hold it’s power over the government unless the people rise up and revolt. 
Thankfully, even with what could be potentially dry and boring subject matter Moore cleverly makes his point and educates the audience with his humorous take on the material giving a handful of ironic examples and semi outrageous stunts to gain attention. Of note, it should also be mentioned while Moore is known for editorializing his topics and giving a liberal political slant, this film feels quite balanced taking shots at both Democrats and Republicans. All this aside, the documentary succeeds in providing ample fodder for further discussion and debate as our nation attempts to right itself. Worth your dime this weekend. Capitalism: A Love Story is rated R.
