This is a good time to re-watch "Capitalism - A Love Story"

[arcane1]

I just had a most pleasant experience watching it again. It's almost as if I'd been distracted for the past two years, and now I remember where I left off.

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. Hell yes. Michael Moore may have wished it to start the uprising we are seeing today, back when

he released it, but I say that today's uprising could not have occured without it.

2. I just saw the end, where he wraps Wall Street in crime-scene tape :)

It took us a while to catch up, but it's better late than never!

3. It made me cry

Let's see if anyone else here can figure out the scene that left me in tears.

So much squandered.

:cry:

4. Max Keiser disagrees.

"Michael Moore is illiterate when it comes to what capitalism is all about , his movie missed the mark by miles , sice his movie came out 5 or 6 movies one of them called Meltdown for example which really are fantastic and which really get into the real problem that capitalism is rigged ...."

I think this is a video with the comments at 6 minutes.

6. My husband and I saw it for the first time last night.

It was on Starz On Demand. We thought it would have been a good idea to add some footage from the demonstrations on Wall St. from OWS at the end.

We learned a lot from it. Both of us had some ideas of understanding on how the crash happened but discovered we were only partially correct. I think it would have been a good idea for them to be more specific on the bailout, how TARP was only a part of it (as Repugs keep saying TARP was repaid). They do talk about the different companies and what they got but I think an aggregate list of TARP, the payments from that in addition to everything else would have had a greater impact. However, this was the best movie I have seen that addresses the economic crash.

Another idea - -How Iceland solved their problems in contrast as they opened with the crash in Iceland.

7. Well, if you've got Direct TV it shouldn't be any problem to watch it anytime you want.

I have seen it on at least twice in the last week, most of his other movies as well.
