The paradox of big business

What Moore said at the end was very interesting. He said that it was the existence of big companies that gave him the opportunity to speak in this movie and speak bad things about big companies, because it can make money, and this is a no-brainer for the so-called "big companies". Harmful documentary. The
movie puts out a mental illness diagnosis form, and finally diagnoses that if the company is an individual, then he is a patient.
From the beginning, it opposes, opposes the existence of the company, it only pursues the maximization of benefits, it has no conscience, like It is a kind of pathological madness, the feeling of wanting to swallow everything.
In fact, companies are innocent. People cooperate to make our society better and better. This is innocent. The current environmental pollution and uneven development are all It’s always ridiculous to blame on the form of the composition of this person.
This is more like a modern problem, an alienation of labor. We have created something that we can’t control. A person who works in a group all the year round, and finally He lost the ability to be independent. A person can be someone who cares about others, loves peace, and cares for the environment. But his job is indeed polluting the environment, making bombs and guns. Is this guilty?
I saw that Shell ad , Seeing GE’s wind energy, IBM’s smart planet, and seeing commercials that are considered to be shows in movies, I think this is what we want. And I think this is what really makes the world better. Monsanto has made a lot of mistakes before. IBM has a relationship with the Nazis. Fanta is a Nazi drink. That’s all history. I like Fanta and I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. It
’s not right to pull it out and take it down. A company is just a group of people, and scolding a company is to let it learn well, not to turn to utopian dreams.

The Corporation quotes

  • Vandana Shiva: Fifteen corporations would like to control the conditions of our life, and millions of people are saying, "Not only do we not need you, we can do it better. We are going to create systems that nourish the earth and nourish human beings". And these are not marginal experiments. They are the mainstay of large numbers of communities across the world. That is where the future lies.

    Michael Moore: You know, I've often thought it's very ironic that I'm able to do all this and yet what am I on? I'm on networks. I'm distributed by studios that are owned by large corporate entities. Now, why would they put me out there when I am opposed to everything that they stand for? And I spend my time on their dime opposing what they believe in. Well, it's because they don't believe in anything. They put me on there because they know that there's millions of people that want to see my film or watch the TV show, and so they're gonna make money. And I've been able to get my stuff out there because I'm driving my truck through this incredible flaw in capitalism, the greed flaw. The thing that says that the rich man will sell you the rope to hang himself with if he thinks he make a buck off it. Well, I'm the rope. I hope. I'm part of the rope. And they also believe that when people watch my stuff, or maybe watch this film, or whatever, they think that, you know, they'll watch this and they won't do anything because we've done such a good job of numbing their minds and dumbing them down, you know. People aren't gonna leave the couch and go an do something political. They're convinced of that. I'm convinced of the opposite. I'm convinced that a few people are gonna leave this movie theatre or get up off the couch and go and do something, anything, to get this world back in our hands.
