Made me think bush was involved

i feel like watching it would be a chore

He was losing his touch by then. Bowling for Columbine was entertaining as fuck, if still pretty slanted. Roger and Me is hands down phenomenal.
>>
>>62632831
I think it was and is important to ask questions and this encouraged people to do that
>>
>>62632831
Thought it was the most important movie I'd ever seen
I was like 14 give me a break

>actively used in communications classes as example of false documentaries

Fat autist makes up a bunch of shit and sets it to cartoons and scary music for below average teenagers and middle class americans to enjoy

I hate michael moore for many reasons, but his whole style of confronting people and editing out their side of the story is just the worst.
>>
>>62634193
>>62634107

If the goal of a documentarian is to document things, then honesty and transparency in the editing process is key. Michael More is disingenuous and edits his films to fit his narrative.

Or used to anyway, I guess he's too fat to make shit up anymore.
>>
>>62632831
I think you need to watch more real documentaries not this junk.
>>
He had an amazing run of booty blasting the conservative right.
>>
>>62634313
you can "booty blast" anyone if you just make shit up and blame everything on ridicules conspiracies
>>
>>62632831
His documentaries are sentimentalist wank, but his musical sequences really are something special.

The 'Wonderful World' and 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' bits are straight up impressive.
>>
>>62634376
Tell that to the Loose Change guys.

Moore has caused more butthurt than probably any other documentarian ever, while getting an Oscar to boot. Like him or hate him, he has a gift that any 4chan shitposter can only dream of.
>>
I'm liberal as fuck, but his documentaries are incredible one sided and cherry pick facts.

Take "bowling for columbine" for example, he tried to prove that more guns = more death, except in canada, where they have less strict gun laws and less gun murders.
>>
>>62634473
He didn't really come to any conclusive point at all. It was so stupid, and this is coming from a typical yurokek who thinks America's gun obsession is fucking ridiculous.
>>
>>62634473
He also tries to claim that the NRA and KKK were founded by the same people. He's a lying asshole who liberals love to pretend is smart
>>
>>62634501
Don't shoehorn liberals in with this, I don't go on /pol/ and call them all Fox News watchers.
>>
>>62634489
tb͏h i think you yuros are going to wish you had robust gun rights in the coming decades. europe won't be the white man's fortress for long.

He was a pretty big guy...
>>
>>62634489
It seems like he started out the documentary with the intent on proving that guns are evil, and stronger gun laws prevent mass shootings, but as he went along filming his theory blew up in his face so he kind of had to say "fuck it" and just release the documentary.
>>
>>62634530
This. If you take minorities out of the gun statistics the US is on par with Europe. Islam will conquer Europe if things dont change

Sicko was pretty Damn eye opening, aside from the last 20 mins with the 9/11 responders going to Cuba I thought it was a solid documentary.
>>
>>62632831
Unfortunately, this film was preaching to the choir, and didn't do anything to effectively educate, or communicate to the other side why people didn't like Bush, or why his administration were full of crooks, liars, assassins, and war criminals. If this film had ANY impact on the U.S. film watching public, then Jon Kerry would've won the 2004 election. Michael Moore's heart was in the right place, but failed at educating people or changing anybody's mind about George W. Bush, and his administration.

But not about Obama or Hilary. That's racist/sexist! I'd like Moore a lot more if he wasn't much a massive hypocrite.
