The Corporation starts from a few anti-capitalist premises, ignoring the main one, which would be the

labor-value theory, which reduces the production of surplus value to manual labor and wages (when the
first thing in history was profits). With the Marxist theory of value, a true critique of capitalism can be
founded. But without it, there are no grounds to criticize the contractual origin of the profits of the
entrepreneurs, which are the voluntary relationship with the consumer, who will be subject to an
imagined democratic monopoly state company.

Was the first time that I saw businessmen admitting their mistakes, the end does not justify the means. I
think that if the corporation means sinking the person next to you, destroying their environment for you
to enrich yourself, ending the natural resources that the Planet provides us without taking into account
that it is the only one we have, the inheritance that we will leave our children, we are destroying
ourselves by loving only power and money. We can realize all the lies that the corporations tell us and
due to the lack of culture, experience or disinterest we do not find out, such as the purchase of items of
complete and absolute quality, contrary to what the product made by these statements tells us "great"
corporations. The film not only offers a vision that expands from the beginning of the corporation's
decisions and plans, but also shows a citizenry increasingly involved in fighting the corporatist
machinery. The operation of the information distributed by the network, the cyber journalistic
investigation and an increasing number of digital publications that focus on the corporation as a real
enemy of humanity and the planet.

As for Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street, the protagonist, Bartleby, is a dull man, without
passion or illusions, apart from being in the office and going as unnoticed as possible. The effect it
produces is a mixture of strangeness, pity and laughter. The employee insists on maintaining that
attitude of passive resistance until its ultimate consequences. The story is about criticism of the
workaholic's lifestyle, but Bartleby is not an exemplary employee. Perhaps he takes refuge in the office
for fear of life out there, and it seems clear that he is an immensely introverted person, but the detail of
the famous phrase, that “I would prefer not to” is the enigma that misleads you and makes you think
that there is double meanings hidden in the book. From my point of view, Bartleby personifies the
absolute apathy, the lack of desire to live, the routine that literally kills you. If people follow his steps
and start to stop doing things, by staying in your supposed comfort zone, you end up just as bad as him.
People can start by thinking that this small task that supposes an extra effort does not appeal to you and
you do not do it, and another one arrives and you do not do it either, and you settle in the known evil
before looking for the good to know. We can all be Bartleby at some point, and it is never too late to
change trajectories and live a real life, not a gray existence in a boring job in absolute solitude.
