"I've never witnessed, in my 20 years as a filmmaker, such a response to one of my movies."
"In many ways, this is Moore's magnum opus: the grandest statement of his career-long belief that big business is screwing the hard-working little guy while government connives in the atrocity." Moore's film, Capitalism, A Love Story, opens October 2. NPR's review further calls the film, "the summation of the movies [Moore]'s been making for the past 20 years. " Moore himself states in a Wall Street Journal Interview, "My role is not to applaud half measures. My job isn’t to start from a position of compromise. The workers need to own [100%] of [my production company]." According to Moore, the response by AFL-CIO union members to the film was overwhelmingly positive. Upon their private viewing, the "roof practically came off the place ". Free-Market proponents are unsurprisingly displeased. Alls the often-mistaken-for-Michael-Moore Drew Carey wants to know is, "Is he giving away the tickets?"
