Michael Moore's attack on capitalism

He’s back! Film director Michael Moore is now cashing in on the world’s financial collapse with his latest film Capitalism: A Love Story. In the film, you can see him asking a congressional regulator a very simple question: “Where’s our money?” Or you can see him marching into insurance giants AIG palatial HQ and demanding to make a citizen’s arrest.

You can watch the trailer here:

Reuters reports that Moore told an audience in Venice the laws are just completely wrong. “”Essentially we have a law which says gambling is illegal but we’ve allowed Wall Street to do this and they’ve played with people’s money and taken it into these crazy areas of derivatives. They need more than just regulation. We need to structure ourselves differently in order to create finance and money, support for jobs, businesses, etc.”

I haven’t seen the film yet and I have an uneasy feeling he might have thrown it together too quickly. After all, Lehman Brothers only went broke a year ago. Still, it’s likely to have an impact. At a time when people are so angry with the excesses and greed of Wall Street, the film is another sign of the times we’re in.
