A colleague reminded me of Zizek's argument that the really dangerous
individuals are those who identify fully with an ideology without
compromise. She then asked have there be any films that fully identify
with capitalism and defend it as an ideology? Not just, as she said,
advertising (which sells particular products) or films which conform to
capitalism/neo-liberalism as an ideology (which is then decoded by the
critic/viewer), but films that really promote capitalism as a whole?
I know this is a film list question but as I am working on film and
representations of capitalism it interests me if anyone can suggest a
totally pro-capitalist film (and why it is).
Thanks
