電影短評：解構企業 (The Corporation)

評語：

赤裸裸地展現何謂「大企業」，揭示資本主義的陰暗面，再對照身處的香港，何嘗不是被大企業壟斷！

最喜歡這種會發人深思的電影，讓我們對世界有更深一層的認識。

在一眾關於商業的電影中，這一套非看不可！


摘錄一些電影中的精彩對白：

Narrator: 150 years ago, the business corporation was a relatively insignificant institution. Today, it is all-pervasive. Like the Church, the Monarchy and the Communist Party in other times and places, the corporation is today's dominant institution. This documentary examines the nature, evolution, impacts, and possible futures of the modern business corporation. Initially given a narrow legal mandate, what has allowed today's corporation to achieve such extraordinary power and influence over our lives? We begin our inquiry as scandals threaten to trigger a wide debate about the lack of public control over big corporations.

Narrator: Through the voices of CEOs, whistle blowers, brokers, gurus and spies, insiders and outsiders, we present the corporation as a paradox, an institution that creates great wealth, but causes enormous, and often hidden harms.

Ray Anderson: The modern corporation has grown out of the industrial age. The industrial age began in 1712 when an Englishman named Thomas Newcomen invented a steam driven pump to pump water out of the English coal mine, so the English coal miners could get more coal to mine, rather than hauling buckets of water out of the mine. It was all about productivity, more coal per man-hour. That was the dawn of the industrial age. And then it became more steel per man-hour, more textiles per man-hour, more automobiles per man-hour, and today, it's more chips per man-hour, more gizmos per man-hour. The system is basically the same, producing more sophisticated products today.

Michael Walker: What happens in the areas where the corporations go in and are successful? They soon find that they cannot do anymore in that country because the wages are too high now. And what's that another way of saying, well, the people are no longer desperate. So, okay, we've used up all the desperate people there, they're all plump and healthy and wealthy. Let's move on to the next desperate lot and employ them and raise their level up.
