The crux of the Corporation is that corporations are amoral and therefore usually immoral. Unfortunately, this film is not so much a documentary as propaganda. The reporting is unbalanced. There is creepy, bad guy theme music for corporations. The whole thing comes off as a well meaning but amateur college production. Like Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11 (but worse) the Corporation is therefore doomed to attract an audience of only people who already agree and to otherwise fall on deaf ears. (Moore is featured in this film, also Noam Chomsky.)
That said, I did learn a few things. The Corporation introduced me to Ray Anderson, the CEO reconfiguring his corporation for sustainable development. It drew my attention to the human rights issues surrounding the privatization of water rights. It made me reconsider, yet again, which brands of products I as a consumer (don't) want to buy. I considered whether business should ever market to children. And it amused me by psychoanalyzing the corporation (which the United States has granted the legal rights of an actual person) and diagnosing the corporation logically as a psychopath.
