I still remember when I was an undergraduate, a bunch of people huddled together begging and beggars, and spent most of the night watching "Fahrenheit 911". Everyone agreed in Wuhan saying, "It's too much, too much." I have always watched discovery. This is the first time I found out that documentaries can still be made this way.
Moore is smart. He doesn't face those headaches, but taps the dots next to each other, and works together at the end, just like playing Go. He expresses his thoughts with unique humor and irony, he is not a martyr, he does not show his pain. However, the essence requires blood to appear, so his documentaries will always be in a marginal and awkward position, unable to move forward or backward.
"Capitalism: A Love Story", at least the idea is very good, Moore also used the old routine, looking for a few related events to connect them over and over again, and even called Obama a socialist in the film. In fact, the truth is not a perfect set of links, too compact and perfect plot, but makes the documentary no longer like a documentary, but a Moore show. I like every move of this fat man, always so persistent and cute. It will not make people think that what he is exposing is a system that is deeply ingrained in developed countries, and it will not make people think that he is fighting against a force that can determine the direction of the world.
The sub-prime mortgage crisis, life insurance, 700 billion loans, financial derivatives, worker strikes, the US election, and a series of other issues, you just sing and I come on stage. But they came and went in a hurry. Moore used his method to pursue an answer that would never be available. He would still take the bag to the bank to ask for money, and pester every possible person to interview. When everyone was silent, Moore ushered in his own victory, the victory of the documentary. A victory that is too thin is often not a real victory, just as a revolution without bloodshed is often not a real victory.
The biggest takeaway from watching this documentary is seeing the problem, not solving it. In fact, neither capitalism nor socialism can solve Moore's problem. Many of the above problems will not occur in socialism because capital accumulation in the primary stage has not yet completed the fundamental support for the above problems. In my country, there are several people who can own their own houses, several trade unions who can organize strikes, and several institutions that can undertake the development of financial derivatives. If the above problems are applied to our great country, the title will be socialism without love. In addition to gaining the indifference of the petition office, Moore can also gain the obscenity of the urban management.
Encountered so much, not a problem of doctrine, but a problem of the government. The United States in the Roosevelt era was also capitalist, and Germany and Japan were also capitalist, but their welfare problems could be solved very well. A love is sweet and painful, but in it, no matter what, you will always be unable to stop.
