Yesterday, local activists summoned up their protesting spirit to demonstrate against corporate globalization. Rifles were drawn. Pepper spray was used to suppres the protestors. The cops did their thing. A good time was had by all. It was all very dramatic, really - students and young people uniting to fight the oppression by corporations as part of a worldwide effort to thwart the Man. And you missed every second. So in order to get in touch with your own sense of anti-corporate fury, the Wildcat has recommended some choice video rentals.
Michael Moore's "Roger and Me" (1989) is the director's anti-corporate, documentary opus which attacks General Motors CEO Roger Smith for his massive downsizing in the town of Flint, Mich.
Watch corporate America take itself down in Michael Mann's "The Insider" (1999) as actor extraordinaire Russel Crowe plays whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand, who takes down the oft-vilified tobacco industry.
And if one really just despises everything corporate, or really just anything, rent David Fincher's anarchistic "Fight Club" which is one long, Brad Pitt-enhanced piece of hate mail to corporate America.
Happy renting and rioting.
