WWII echoes are still being felt today even after so many decades. We won the war, but lost some of what made our country great in the process. The all-consuming consumerism and hedonism of the post-war years in America were a boom time for the nuclear family, but maybe the beginning of the corporation/rampant capitalist monster?<br /><br />To me, the movie opens much to thought and hopefully dialogue. My father was a staunch conservative (probably why I rebelled so much as a kid) and even though he is no longer around, I can't help but imagine that even he would have changed some of his opinions after seeing the film.<br /><br />It is easy for detractors to say that Moore is merely spreading propaganda and trying to brainwash people (R rating so he can't brainwash our youth against corporate America???), but is he really? He uses enough evidence to prove his points. All you can do is investigate for yourself...<br /><br />I wish I could show this to my classes...Our youth need to take back this country from oblivion. <br /><br />'nuff ranting...the movie has reignited some fires within me...<br /><br />-G&KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-78743201843619642412009-10-05T18:01:00.292-07:002009-10-05T18:01:00.292-07:00I want to go see it...thanks for sharing your expe...I want to go see it...thanks for sharing your experience..artbyaleksandrabuhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03012269229845496526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-3058035357435206942009-10-04T21:40:12.822-07:002009-10-04T21:40:12.822-07:00Is it really a love story amazing??? well i hope i...Is it really a love story amazing??? well i hope its better than 9/11partyhttp://www.whatlimouk.com/index.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416781.post-90224362324006904882009-10-04T12:02:26.271-07:002009-10-04T12:02:26.271-07:00I noticed that R rating a few days ago too and fel...I noticed that R rating a few days ago too and felt the urge to blog about it myself: <br /><br />"So Michael Moore's new movie opened this weekend with a strange rating. <br /><br />I haven't seen it, but check out what it got compared to, say, the new Halloween II:<br /><br /><br />Halloween II- <br />Rated R for bloody violence, language, nudity, disturbing graphic images, strong brutal violence and crude sexual content<br /><br />Capitalism: A Love Story-<br />Rated R for some language<br /><br /><br />Keep in mind the MPAA is headed by Joan Graves, a registered Republican. <br /><br />Bottom line? <br />ideas that are critical of the status quo are considered more dangerous."<br /><br />it's funny how your caughter probably would have had a way easier time getting tickets for a grisly horror flick than Capitalism. . .JRhttp://www.myspace.com/jeanrodrigueznoreply@blogger.com
