When my husband asked me what I thought of the film, I remarked, "It lacked subtlety." This set us both laughing because that's Moore's charm, that he is hilarious, over the top and thoroughly one sided -- and all in such improbable ways. Like ending with Tony Bennett doing the Internationale over the credits.
It's also spotty, covering too much territory in too little space. This is not an organized exposition of the flaws of capitalism but a 100 yard dash through recent history.
For all that I loved the film. I felt touched and entertained throughout.
I think capitalism has its place myself. I just don't think that place is public functions like running health care or children's detention facilities or education or (shudder, shudder) contract soldiers such as Blackwater.
