Assigned Entry #4 "Capitalism", A Love Story

Capitalism A Love Story! I can't explain how compelling this film is. If you have not yet seen it, I recommend that you do. In Eng. 102 we have been discussing rhetoric quite a bit. This film shines the spotlight dead on how when used properly you can really get your point across, and in a humorous way. It wasn't until watching this film that I actually payed attention to the things that are going on around us daily.
Mr. Michael Moore, in my opinion, is a pure genius for coming up with this film, having these concepts, and taking this approach. In the rhetorical triangle you have ethos, pathos, and logos. This film is BIG on pathos (again, in my opinion). What better way to get the world's attention and maybe a few firm believers than to do it in a humorous way. We Americans love humor, we eat it up! After watching this film I can honestly say that I am shocked and a tad bit disgusted at the same time. Thanks Mr. Moore for opening my eyes!

  1. I totally agree with you! This film really opened my eyes to things I wouldn't normally put that much attention to. The humor in it really helped get my attention since the beginning .
