Michael Moore's new film

Last night I went to the Emirates Palace and watched a documentary titled “Capitalism: A Love Story” directed by the famous American film-maker Michael Moore. The movie showed the evils of the capitalist system and its effects on the average American people. I was surprised to see American people being kicked out of their own homes, the homes that their families owned and lived in for decades. Some people left their houses and lived in vans and trucks while their houses and their whole neighborhoods are empty. Because of the bank loans, many houses were left vacant with no buyers or tenants, and the people who used to own them could not live in them either. An example of this was evident in Michael Moore’s own hometown Flint. The film also showed the suffering of pilots who because of capitalism were receiving salaries that are lower than the salaries of people working in McDonalds. Thousands and thousands of people were fired from their jobs. Michael Moore also showed how Wall Street is controlling the financial system in the American government. The director tried to convey a very important message to the heads of corporations as well as the masses by going to banks and large companies and surrounding them by crime scene yellow tapes. He also went with a silver van to the Bank of America, Citigroup and other corporations and demanded that they give him back the money that belongs to the American taxpayers. I think the movie was very interesting because it revealed many facts about the American capitalist system and the bad effects it has on American people's lives.
