Having just seen the terrific Fahrenheit 9-1-1, I was looking
forward to this film. Alas. "The Corporation" is not really a film; it's
a seemingly endless parade of monologue snippets with pathetic
graphics in-between. In short, this is not a film. It reminds one of
mid-20th Century "educational" films, but is not nearly as
interesting. Ninety-five percent of this film is common knowledge
(and if you don't know that corporations have taken over everything,
then you are part of the reason why we have the evil government
we have). Five percent contained new information. Alas, this film
had no editor worth his or her salt. It was dreary beyond belief and
after two hours, my friend (who reached the same conclusion as I
did, but totally separately, since we do not talk during movies)
looked at me, we got up and made our escape. Michael Moore
has proved over and over that politics and information do not have
to be dull. He knows how to use images to make his point. This
documentary-maker doesn't.
