Amid a number of battles the U.S. finds itself in the trenches of (foreign efforts, health care reform, drug law reform, big pharma, etc.), the questions swirling around the country's economic solvency have started to bring focus away from the symptoms and closer to the root. The place of Capitalism within our Democratic fabric is now within the cross-hairs of filmmaker Michael Moore. Closing in on the opening day of his new film "Capitalism: A Love Story", the filmmaker is making his rounds on the television interview circuit (links below).
I'm conflicted! I want to see the film but I don't want to go to a theater to see it. Why? Well, it's an anti-Capitalism movie. Paying to go to a movie is paying into Capitalism, right? Whether I am pro-Capitalism or anti-Capitalism doesn't matter here; I think both pro- and anti- people will still want to see it either to praise it or debunk it. But most people, whether pro- or anti-, will be going to a theater to watch it. So who wins in this scenario? Pro- or Anti- ? The message gets to the masses (1 point Anti-). The masses pay to get the message (1 point Pro-). Hmm...
Any free screenings going on anywhere? lol
