NoCalMike Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 This past Saturday I decided to check this documentary/social commentary out. It was quite good IMO. The Corporation I am sure you can guess what the film is about by the title. One of my favorite features was the coverage of the Fox News anchors that did the show "The Investigators" getting fired because they refused to go on the air and lie to people about certain hormones being pumped into cows, and it's effect on the consumer. They sued and won, but then lost on appeal because it was found that Florida does not have a law against reporting false news. LOL......Of course the piece is more detailed then what I have said, but that was the jist of that part of it. The movie really gives a good look at how corporations came into so much power, and why you see such hostility against the power that these huge corporations demand these days. I really don't want to say too much about besides I really enjoyed it, and that it isn't a comedic-mikey moore styled documentary, but more hard-edged. Go see it, if it is playing in your town.
Placebo Effect Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 Sadly, it's not playing around here. I'd really like to see it, though.
Guest Fook Posted June 21, 2004 Report Posted June 21, 2004 I've been meaning to see it for a while now. My friend saw it a few months ago and has been trying to get me to go for myself.
