The Corporation (movie)

Leave a reply

Yesterday I watched the movie The Corporation. Highly recommended! The first part is incredibly cleverly designed. First there is an historic study of the born and evolution of corporations (the breaking point was when lawyers where successful in making them accepted as persons, giuridic persons but still persons with all the rights of a person, property included). Then the usual behaviours of a megacorporation are shown with paradigmatic examples and they are posed in parallel with the characteristics of the medical profile of a psycopath. Clever! The second part is more conventional and keeps presenting examples of what megacorporations have done in our world. The movie is in reality a documentary, a very well designed documentary. It is a little bit long, though, more than 2 hours I think. My suggestion is to watch it in 2 tranches. But to watch it.

Revolution OS review

J.T.S. Moore: Revolution OS

Revolution OSI really liked this movie. It is not easy to make a movie about free software and not to make it boring or too technical. I think J.T.S. Moore made a great job and he didn’t commit any mistake with definitions of free software, open source, GNU, Linux, … or at least not a mistake I was able to spot out.
I like to put here an excerpt from the movie, one that made me feel part of something really great.

a final thought from the man who started it all:
“the all GNU project is really one big hack, it’s one big hack of subversive playfull cleverness, to change society for the better, because I’m always interested in changing it for the better … but in a clever way”
Richard M. Stallman
