“It’s a crime story. But it’s also a war story about class warfare. And a vampire movie, with the upper 1 percent feeding off the rest of us. And, of course, it’s also a love story. Only it’s about an abusive relationship.

“It’s not about an individual, like Roger Smith, or a corporation, or even an issue, like health care. This is the big enchilada. This is about the thing that dominates all our lives — the economy. I made this movie as if it was going to be the last movie I was allowed to make.

Another typical factless film by MM. Just like our health care system, capitalism is not perfect but it is the best system over the alternatives. MM should be more concerned with corporate welfare (ie bailouts) which is NOT capitalism. No company is too big to fail and our government has no business bailing out corporations. But to attack Capitalism and further promote class warfare (one of nobama's primary goals) is sick. There is ALWAYS opportunity in a capitalist system!!! Permalink
