a little idea

Probably because I haven't seen this type of film very much, so I was a little surprised when I watched it. I am so happy to be played by the director and my classmates so much, especially when I went to the major companies on Wall Street and said they wanted to arrest the leader, and even pulled up the yellow tape of the crime scene, I couldn't help thinking that it was me. If you meet such a person on the road, you will definitely think that he is insane, and he can't help admiring his courage to be insane.

The director said that capitalism is a profit motive, and I agree. Perhaps this view is biased, and from a sociological point of view aside from an economic point of view, the values ​​resulting from this motivation are terrible. So I always have some affection for Americans, I feel that they are too modest, take this idea for granted, and package a gorgeous American dream bubble-like dream, which makes everyone flock to them, one after another, really very scary. Of course, for a person who has not lived in the United States for a long time and has not studied the principles of economics, it would be a bit confusing to say this, and it would seem like watching fire from the other side, but the director has also done this kind of thinking. Can it be said at least to some extent? There is some truth to this view.

In fact, the film itself still has its own logic. When I watch it, I feel that the director is doing a proof question or writing an argumentative essay, putting forward opinions, presenting facts, arguments, reasoning, and then proposing solutions. He was inspired by his vain attempt to say that capitalism was not the original intention of Washington when the United States was founded. It seems that at the beginning of each revolution, everyone's ideas are very good, there is no selfish desire, it is the pursuit of equality, Free and respectful, but in the end, when the rights and resources are in hand, those initial ideals will be wiped out. But in fact, the initial idea was not so pure. If you think about it carefully, if it is not because you are the party who does not have the resources, and the distribution system is too unequal, there will be no resistance.

In this way, people are really contradictory. When they are at the bottom of the pyramid, they want to share the blessings. When they reach the top of the pyramid, they just want to secretly enjoy themselves. Do you want to admit that human nature is inherently evil in various religions? , but I also believe that everyone has a yearning for beauty, and the pursuit of civilization seems to be indelible like a trend, so what is the reason for all this? After thinking about it, there is no answer, so I just put it aside. So for democracy, I think it seems to be a utopia, or it is the day of Kuafu, is it just a goal that can be infinitely approached but can never be achieved? Then this is not a problem of capitalism, it has nothing to do with the system, but is determined by human nature.

But in the end, I still have to make a rant. I often talk about how Europe and Japan are, and I also throw out two factories that are a little communist as an example, and then tout Comrade Obama. It makes people feel a little funny, but the most interesting thing is the production. The studio actually wants to dog eat dog, haha, is it a dog bites a dog, or did I read the wrong name, so happy! In fact, if the comrades with a bit more red came to see this film, 80% of them would make this film a good teaching material for exposing the cannibalistic nature of capitalism and subverting capitalism, but don’t forget that what they preach is democracy, not socialism, so don’t be too happy. , whee.

Capitalism: A Love Story quotes

  • Michael Moore: You know, I can't really do this anymore, unless those of you who are watching this in the theater want to join me. I hope you will. And please... speed it up.

  • Michael Moore: [Regarding the February, 2009 crash of Continental flight 3407 in Buffalo, New York] No one survived the crash, and 50 people lost their lives. The Media focused on the actions of the pilots.

    Continental air crash reporter: Capt. Marvin Renslow and First Officer Shaw were chatting about their careers.

    Michael Moore: "Careers" is a euphemism for what the pilots were really talking about: how little they were paid, and how overworked they were. There would be no discussion in the Media about why we have an economic system that allows a pilot to be paid less than a manager at Taco Bell.
