Critique about ' Wal Mart'

The director of ' Wal Mart ' wanted to show the real inside situation of Wal Mart. ; He/she focused on not just surface of Wal mart, but also real relationship between employees and employers. The director really wanted people to know about the serious situation. In fact, the director deosn't appear in the movie, so he /she doesn't states about his opinion directly. People who watch the movie, however, can know that the director is against to the bad work condition in Wal- Mart. Because, the director focuses on relationship between workers and managers, worker's real life which is affected by Wal Mart, health care and union. In addition, the director is giving specific statistics, news and interviews for evidence. These were objective and blanced information. In fact, the director interviewed more workers than managers. But considering the rate of workers and managers, this movie can't be said 'biased'. Moreover, this movie shows the workers and managers interview by turns, so it was easy to compare the opposite views about the same situation. Therefore, this documantary can be evaluated that it is well-organized.


I thoroughly agree with the director's point of view ; I belive that people should know about this serious situation, and think about the solution. Actually, I didn't know about this that much. I could just think that workers' work condition would be bad, but the real situation was worse than I thought. After watching this movie, I could think about 'Wal Mart' in various aspact. I learned that surface which I can see is not the all. Before watching this movie, I thought 'Wal Mart' is just a huge market where I can by products in low price. However, this movie broaden my view, I can think about this issue more deeply than past. Moreover, I felt that Wal Mart is pretending, because it had to pay attention to the society's voice. ; Wal Mart didn't want to listen people saying like, ' Wal Mart earned a lot of money, but never pay back to community and its workers. Therefore, they acts like they are really caring their workers, but it wasn't true. I felt angry about this part. When I saw how Wal Mart do to people who attend in Union, I felt anger and fear. Additionally, I strongly felt that worker's condition and benefits should be improved as fast as it can. Moreover, I could think about the America's economy-especially about the monopoly.


In conclusion, this movie was valuable for me. It made me think more about the issue, broaden my view and knowledges. However, suggesting statistic was hard to understand and relate to the issue. ; It fastly disappeared without explanation. Except this part, I believe this movie was very useful to understand real inside situation in big companies. Moreover, this movie is well organized and objective.
