Have you ever seen a documentary by Michael Moore? If so, you either love him or hate him. His most popular movie was Fahrenheit 911. While this had a democratic slant, it still made for interesting viewing for anyone. One of his more recent films is Capitalism: A Love Story. Once I saw it listed on Direct tv Movies on Demand, I knew I had to watch it. I braced myself for what was to come and hit play.

This was actually a very entertaining and informative film. It was more about defending the public from big banks than supporting any political party. This made it a film that all Americans can appreciate – aside from the bankers. Another great aspect of this film is how they show that the big bank bailout was sold to the public by announcing there would be another Great Depression if it didn’t pass. There’s nothing more powerful than fear when you’re attempting to sell the masses.

A lot of the film focuses on rising foreclosures and people getting kicked out of their homes. But it also shows people refusing to leave their homes, which has made for an interesting predicament in the United States. Should people have to pay to stay, or do they have a right to stay because they were scammed? The answer will depend on who you talk to. One thing is for sure, this is one film that will get you thinking, and possibly asking questions.
