I will tell you that it does have a slight liberal lean too it, with main interviews by Milton Friedman, Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, and Michael Moore.

In my mind anything Micheal Moore is associated with is $0.99 short of a dollar...good bye.
I just watched the trailers out of curiosity...wow...not impressed. I don't think any of those people should speak on camera...lol.
Plot Summary for
The Corporation (2003)
Since the late 18th century American legal decision that the business corporation organizational model is legally a person, it has become a dominant economic, political and social force around the globe. This film takes an in-depth psychological examination of the organization model through various case studies. What the study illustrates is that in the its behaviour, this type of "person" typically acts like a dangerously destructive psychopath without conscience. Furthermore, we see the profound threat this psychopath has for our world and our future, but also how the people with courage, intelligence and determination can do to stop it.

Wow, 3cho, why don't we just shoot them since there's 'no place'? The fact that the people who are 'producing energy' can also be doing great harm. But you apparently see no need for any power of the public to do anything to get educated about it and place limits on their profit making at the expense of the health of the public and planet.
You don't know what the protestors produce or don't produce. That flak you quote was just that, a flak - what was he 'producing' but hot air and the help for the polluters not to have any limits, which yes, does kill your fellow citizens?
This is an imperfect but excellent film, with some eye-opening information for most people. I can't explain the 3chos other than to say that there are still those here who think Nixon did nothing wrong, there are some who are just wrong-headed.
The movie's educational for most Americans, on topics from "externialities" - the need for corporations to boost profits by moving their costs like pollution cleanup onto the public; issues that their methods are not sustainable for the ecology; stories such as Bechtel secretly buying the rights to *all* water in an area of South America, even the rainfall.
If you can't see the problem with a purported democracy selling out its people's interests for a few bucks from a US corporation and leaving the poor citizens with huge water bills they can't pay (the movie should have gone more into that), and cheer the people on when they protest - despite being shot - and overthrow the policy, restoring democracy - why not?
Too many Americans, kept happy and fat like little tax-paying farm animals, are unaware of the effects of the policies aimed at the people of other nations.

there are people out there who are accumulating wealth without creating value, but those are in the minority. i see nothing wrong with big corporations out to maximize profit in anyway they can, a free market economy guarantees this.
having no place for those who do not add value is not the equivalent of "shooting them". also, you speak of externalities, but fails to mention that there are both negative and positive externalities.
as for your comments about bechtel, i have seen nothing and heard nothing on the matter. so unless you can cite a thing or two, i will consider it as "fiction".
