The Corporation

[Maxi]

Has anyone here seen the documentary? It's called The Corporation, it was made in 2003. It's a documentary that shows how dirty big corporations are, how much power they have, and how they misuse it.

I suggest everyone of you to see it, I have no idea where to find it though. It has aired in Finland two times now. It's one of the best documentaries i've ever seen. Much better than michael moore stuff. (he is interviewd in the documentary).

The stuff they bring up in the documentary is pretty heavy and serious. People should see it, people should know that corporations aren't good, they are there to make money, not to save lives or distribute things. They all want to make money.


Oh, btw, here's a link about it: http://www.thecorporation.tv/about/

Discuss, after you've read the link/seen it.

I saw an ad for it on SBS a few days back. It just said coming soon to SBS, so I've been searching my tv guide.

I liked the way Michael Moore explained something.

He said that it is infact large corporations that buy his movies and tv shows and books, and then publish them. Corporations that he is against. They publish his stuff, that says bad things about them. He called it the flaw of capitalism. The path of greed. Corporations are so greedy, so much money infront of their eyes, that they don't see what they publish, they only publish what they can get money for.

Or it's maybe the fact that corporations are just run by real people, who have real dream and fears like every one of us, and maybe they don't like it that it's the way that it is, maybe it's a secret cry for help, maybe they don't want their children to grow up in the world that they did, and they are as helpless to do anything baout it as we are, cause if lets say they start paying their workers more they have to rais their price up and that means that another corporation which doesn't pay their workers much will win cause their products have lower price, and same things go's for buying politicions off, if they don't do it somebody else will, most of the people don't like it, but there are offcourse a couple of psychopaths who are merciless and will win if any other corps show weakneses.

(BTW I know my writing seems incoherent and hard to read but I hope you poeple get what I am trying to say)
