He had called his yacht The wish of the seas

Flint, Michigan. A father and son walk along a huge devastated land. The old man worked thirty-three years "and a half" as workers in the plant of General Motors. His son, Michael Moore, documentary filmmaker, received the palme d'Or at Cannes in 2004 for his biting anti-Bush "Fahrenheit 9/11". That day, GM announced its bankruptcy. "My best recollection is that the people who worked there were good people, says the former worker." It did not deserve it. We worked hard, but it was earning well. It is wrong in the heart of see it.

Flashbacks. Twenty years ago, the young Michael, camera at the ready, attempts to enter the Holy of Holies of Detroit, the tutelary GM building, to interview its President, Roger Smith. He succeed, pas, but that the documentary "Roger and Me" will tour the world and make its author, the balourde approach and the eternal Cap screwed on the skull, famous. In 1989, in his report, Moore had nevertheless managed to stuck the Director of human resources of General Motors, which he claimed that he dismiss all employees that should be in Detroit. "Including all", asked the reporter. "Why not".met HRD without iller. Twenty years after, Michael Moore asked to meet with the current CEO. It is returned in the same manner as in the past.

Bazooka at the

His new maintient, "Capitalism: a Love Story", is his best film since "Roger and Me". Usual, Moore is the bazooka at. The theory is simple, but in line with Stiglitz or Krugman, it is not simplistic: at the beginning of the 1980s, Ronald Reagan, advised by Merrill Lynch at the top Wall Street banks, launched a vast operation of global deregulation, enriching the rich at the expense of the middle class. The mirror on the alouettes for the "subprime" completed ruin fragile candidates for the property. See this real estate agent from Miami who proudly called his "Vulture Immo" agency. It resells foreclosed houses. He gives way to 350,000 dollars a House purchased 800,000 by its former owners. "Welcome to Miami crash", says proudly before be justified: "everyone has to take advantage of the misfortune of others." The vultures do not kill, they clean. The difference between them and me: I do vomis me on the morning.

Peasants dead

More importantly, money King has disrupted the moral behaviour of the Americans. Moore gives many examples: the judge who had invested in a private juvenile rehabilitation centre and duplicated the sentences for the most trivial, lengthening sentences along the way to make sales. He had called his yacht: "The wish of the seas." Moore also denounced the companies, among the most respectable of the United States, which are contracts of insurance-death on their employees. About this that it is the company which, on the death of the employee, affects the money, leaving the family destitute. Known as "dead peasants" contracts ("dead peasants"). They are entirely legal.

Two years ago, the Michael Moore documentary would have seemed excessive; Today, after the global economy frisé collapse, force reflection.
