Capitalism: A Love Story
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 07:01 PM) It doesn't surprise me that he could demonize people for doing something, and then turn around and do the same thing himself. It also doesn't surprise me that people who line up to defend that. He lives in a capitalist society and made a film bashing the principle. Wouldn't that mean he is advocating getting rid of capitalism?

Capitalism: A Love Story
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 06:22 PM) Yeah, that is totally the same. As you can see from the video Balata posted he has admitted in many cases to help the people in his spotlighted films. Ultimately he's a film director shining light on issues he feels need exposure. Not sure why you would think that he should automatically work for free or donate his income. Shedding light on the topics in his films will be more of an impact than 1 man donating to charity anyway, which he is doing as well.

Capitalism: A Love Story
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 7, 2009 -> 05:52 PM) The guy is doing a movie about the evils of capitalism, and trying to get rich off of it. You don't see the irony there? How is that different then a reporter doing a piece on corporate fraud? Should that reporter donate their salary to those who were defrauded?
