The Lego Movie: Anti-capitalist?

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The Lego Movie is anti-capitalist, say commentators on the Fox News Channel in the US. They argue that Hollywood has a long tradition of portraying corporate power in a bad light. We ask Lego's chief financial officer, John Goodwin, whether he was pleased with the film, and discuss Hollywood's portrayal of big business with The Guardian newspaper's film critic, Danny Leigh. Also, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times tells us why women are more resilient than men when it comes to humiliation in the work place. And the BBC's Charles Havilland reports from Sri Lanka where the monsoon has failed to deliver and the drought now threatens harvests.
