The Corporation

I just finished watching this extremely interesting and thought provoking film. It took a while, as it is two and a half hours long! I split it up over two nights.

The film, while not visual effects related, was very interesting. It detailed how large corporations are slowly overtaking government, and what exactly a corporation is, and what it is comprised of. They're also much larger than government, since large corporations are worldwide.

There were many interviews with CEOs and former CEOs of such companies as Interface, IBM, and Royal Shell, as well as from business analysts and authors like Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore. They all tossed in their two cents about corporations, how people deal with the power that corporations have, and how the power of the people can truly overcome any situation. The film also went into detail about how much power the corporations have, and described several situations where the power they wield truly overpowered news media. It was scary and impressive at the same time.

I would highly recommend this documentary film if you want to see how and why a corporation, a large, global company, works.
