SiCKO
I was at the library not too long ago, and spontaneously picked up Michael Moore’s documentary SiCKO. Here’s my quick review:
Unfortunately, Michael Moore has a way of taking a serious issue that really needs serious discussion, debate and insight and handles it with such a sneer and with side-jabs that are completely ad-hominem, to the degree that his style completely overshadows his substance. Furthemore, his solution to the problem is so extreme as to make it completely irrelevant to the conversation. Too bad.
[ps. the extreme right does the same thing, and it's too bad]
Moore had so much more impact and insight when he was just a documentary filmmaker handling social issues rather than a revolutionary who has as you said poor solutions.
Too many people gave Micheal the impression that he needed to save the world – or at least tackle it. Much of his credibility has been lost on me….too bad because Roger and Me was brilliant..
