Thread: Michael Moore

  1. #1

    Default Michael Moore

    This is about his movies, not politics. I know they're sort of tied together, but I'm trying to see what people think of him as a director, not an activist/hero/filthy socialist weasel.

    I liked Bowling for Columbine and thought it was well done. I slept through Farenheit 9/11 so I couldn't tell you about that one. And that's all I've seen.

    I know who he is, but I don't recognize any of those movies.

    I really hate that guy. He blows things totally out of proportion. I have seen Bowling for Columbine, he makes some good points, but mostly I disagree with everything he says.

    He has a way with demonizing just about everybody he comes into contact with to promote his point of veiw. With that said, I liked Farenheit 9/11 the most.

    I've seen two of his films: Farenheight 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine...

    I liked alot of the points in Bowling for Columbine, but I thought some of it was pure BS to the point of lol. It was the film I prefered.

    Farenheight 9/11 was very interesting, and I liked it, even though I'm pretty sure his purpose for making that on was less than nobel.

    As for what I think of the man as a whole? He's a big fat silly billy.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I only saw Farenheit 9/11 and I didn't think it was very well put together. Not necessarily bad, but certainly not good either. I like to watch documentaries, and I thought that one was just not up to par.

    As a director, I feel he's fairly decent. As for his documentaries, I'm sure there's many that would call him a "propagandaist" but then so are all people who ask questions in times of extreme patriotism. Whether you agree with his films or not, you have to respect the fact that he's taking risks by asking questions no one wants to ask.

    Currently, I'm reading this book called Lies My Teacher Told Me. It actually considers many things in history that we are not taught in school for the sake of glorifying individuals in history. Perhaps, not knowing the full truth about our history keeps us from learning from our mistakes. Instead we repeat these mistakes over and over. Perhaps, if we started questioning our government more, we could see a real change in our future rather than the repetition of historical events.

    I think they're all junk.

    Fellowship 9/11, now there was a piece of high quality work...
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    True, but then, what to you expect? He's talking about men who start wars because of greed. The reason he demonizes them is the same reason Castro never stood up and said 'Now this Batista. I know he's got a lot of bad press lately, but he's a pretty good guy, really'.
    Besides, he's usually right... a lot of those guys are monsters...

    Actually, I have to agree with you there- Farenheit 9/11 seemed a little sloppy. A lot of it felt like he was so busy trying to shock you, that he let the actual quality of the film slide.
    Bowling for Columbine is excellent, though. Wether or not you agree with is message, you must admit it's very well filmed.
