A Capitalistic Romance
So I watched a film called Capitalism: A Love Story.
It was made by Michael Moore.
It was about (you guessed it!) Capitalism.
The synopsis goes as follows:
Filmmaker Michael Moore explores corporate greed, the global economic meltdown, and their disastrous effect on American lives. As he travels from the Heartland to the financial epicenter of New York and the halls of government in Washington, Moore delves into the price the country pays for its love of capitalism.
Right, the film made it known that it didn't promote Capitalism.
I thought that the film was okay. It tried really hard to engage the viewers by bombarding them with emotional appeal. Although - since it was so overdone, it came to a point where the anecdotes and examples were almost borderline exploitative.
It was effective, but not cool in my book.
Then again, people nowadays are very emotionally inclined. If I were the heartless filmmaker, I wouldn't see a reason as to why not use that type of appeal.
And they talked about "Dead Peasants Insurance?"
What's up with that?
That's like, uber creepy.
Basically, it's synonymous to corporate-owned life insurance.
Er. Okay.
That's probably something that was in ultra-fine print.
If their employees die, then they get money out of it?
That's messed up imo.
That's totally unethical.
...
How do would you feel if you died and some stranger got money out of it?
