THE CORPS POURATION

This movie is crazy. I had never seen it in class and wish we could have finished it in class......guess that means I have to download it now. ok, I. m back. What I really like about this movie was its structure. Unlike other dicumentaries, it did not start from a point, then go to the next, finding a link, and finding another one to another point, etc.... What the director did is to edit the movie as a checklist of everything a corporation is doing wrong to others and the planet. At first, I did not understand where this was going, as I had never heard or read anyting about the movie, but when the list was all checked, it was proved that since a corporation is dealt with as a person, then that person is a psychopath. A psychopath is a highly anti-social person who "is self-interested, inherently amoral, callous and deceitful; it breaches social and legal standards to get its way; it does not suffer from guilt, yet it can mimic the human qualities of empathy, caring and altruism."
Each of these points was proved during the movie with interviews of actual CEOs, documantarist Michael Moore, top level executives, cirtics, historians....
Like Michael Moore's movies, this movie has a strong impact on you when you are done watching it, especially if it is the first time. But you soon realize that his technique to tell you these infos are just as deceitful, he gives you all the bad sides of corporations and sets up the flow of the informations given to manipulate your thoughts better. This is what a movie is about, take your mind away on a trip, no thinking involved, just cruising. THIS is a documentary, it should make you think, not scare you. I believe that such informations have a much better impact on the long run if the viewer does a fair portion of the analyzing.
