The best thing about this movie is how it likens a corporation to a psychopath, which explains why according to the book Snakes in Suits, (see previous blog) why there are so many psychopathic personalities in the corporate world. The Corporation is well worth viewing maybe even a couple of times.
The problem with this movie (and with many documentaries) is that the the producers/directors -- whoever they are -- have information and a message they want to get across. But they are so focused on getting their message across they forget how their film will be perceived by the viewer. So many documentaries become "talking heads" films interspersed with photographs or video-clips. The Corporation did a good job steering away from being a "talking head" movie; but tried to encompass everything -- and I mean everything -- wrong about corporations into one film. Thus it runs around 2-1/2 hours which feels like 4 when you have to use the bathroom.
My recommendation for this movie is to take a break in the middle and come back to the final part later.
