    Default Michael Moore’s New Documatary On Economic Crisis Coming In October



    I really enjoy Michael Moore’s films. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly don’t agree with everything he says in his films, and I don’t like all his tactics… but if you can’t still appreciate hearing views and ideas that you don’t share despite the fact that you don’t share them, I think there is something seriously wrong.

    I really get a kick out of people who say “his movies aren’t documentaries because documentaries aren’t supposed to be biased”. That’s total nonsense. All stories are told from a point of view, and every point of view has a bias. If you don’t want ANY bias, go watch the evening news… cause you’re talking about news reports, not movies.

    Michael Moore's films are nothing but bias so you know going in you are going to get Moore's sarcastic view on whatever. Yeh, he pisses me of at the way he goes about it and I have little respect for his movie style but hey, it's just another rant which he is good at.

    Michael Moore is a very simple creature. He is a simple idiot with enough skills to put together a few films that appeal to folks who are unable to piece together their own point of view. The fact that many of his "films" have received awards as documentaries does not necessarily mean that they are true.

    Documentaries have their basis in truth ... Michael Moore produces fiction. You may find his work entertaining and that's great. But anyone who believes that his work is an honest attempt to provide an accurate, truthful representation of history (a documentary) has allowed themselves to be snookered.

    I know he is one sided on a lot of things but his movies are great at making a person think. That is something we have all stopped doing on our own. His "Sicko" movie was great in my opinion, now should we go into a universal healthcare? That remains to be debated, but he brought into light the insurance companies and their corrupt systems. I am looking forward to this one.

    I like his movies even if you shouldn't take everything he says as facts

    He raises questions, and yes he's biased, but so are a lot of people, even if they say they aren't. You can't fault him for that. I think he's reached a point where his movies can make people on both sides of the spectrum think about what kind of country we are. He's much more intelligent than most give him credit for.

    If you like the way Michael shows the world goes around, you really should watch the programs Louis Theroux makes. He's been with really strange people al over the world. He follows them for a time and joins them in their way of doing things. But he always discuss the things of witch he thinks are very strange or just not right. He does it very well, you will get a good look at al the wrong and weird behaviour of peolpe, not only in America. He is, correct me of i'm wrong, a formal 'student' of Michael Moore.

    It's not the fact that he is biased, it is more that he is a liar and a proven one at that. He wins an Oscar for a Documentary, which is suppose to be facts. However, his are lies. He keeps getting recognition where recognition is not needed.

    Moore's movies are junk. Fantasy. Nothing is based on facts. How he can come up with the money to make them tells you that there are people in this country that are trying to distroy it.

    I saw Farenheit 9/11. Michael is too perfect for this world; still I like to see that some one is concerned. Waiting for this movie to come out. Saw the trailers.
