“u0026#39;SAVING CAPITALISMu0026#39;: Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA documentary about capitalism in modern society, starring liberal politician Robert Reich. It was released by Netflix, through their streaming site, and it was directed by Sari Gilman and Jacob Kornbluth. The film title is also the name of Reichu0026#39;s new book, which he discusses continuously throughout the movie. I found the doc to be decently made, and somewhat informative. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eReich speaks in front of multiple audiences (of all kinds of different people), about his book, and interviews several different individuals as well. He also speaks to several other politicians, addressing the major issues with capitalism today. He informs the viewers, through narration, about many of the corrupt ways our government does business too. The film also goes into Reichu0026#39;s history as a politician, professor and commentator. He served in President Gerald Fordu0026#39;s administration, as well as Jimmy Carteru0026#39;s, and he was also Secretary of Labor for Bill Clinton (from 1993 to 1997). So the guy is definitely an experienced politician.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI usually agree with what Reich has to say, politically speaking, and I agree with most of what he says in this film. There are times I donu0026#39;t agree with him though, and I have a hard time respecting him after knowing how close he is to the Clintons. Still I think his views are mostly true, and seemingly come from passion and commitment to making the world a better place. So I did like this movie. Itu0026#39;s a little like a Michael Moore film, but less funny, and not quite as effective or well made. You have to be a Robert Reich fan to enjoy it though, obviously.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWatch a new episode of our movie review show u0026#39;MOVIE TALKu0026#39; at: https://youtu.be/xsOj7IhB5us”
