This is a pretty good production for Michael Moore. Some of the presentations may feel like he has gone off the deep end. However, he mentions some good points and fills in some information that many people may have missed.
I am not a Michael Moore fan and possibly a verge on fascist. But you cannot afford to miss this presentation, as here and there, now and then, he mentions some things that you would not have seen. Of course, you have to weigh everything that you see with the fact that you know Michael Moore is trying to put forth a unified theory while using media soundbites.
One trap that Michael Moore fell into with this production. The United States is a Republic. It may be a Democratic Republic, but it is a Republic. Even in the Roman Republic, not everyone was a citizen.
A lot of his focus takes aim at the Republic and wishes we had instead “mob rule” … Oops, a pure democracy. Whether democracy is an advantage or disadvantage, the organization of this Republic is not the thrust of the movie, yet it can easily distract from what Michael Moore is trying to present.
I can give more specifics on the contents of this movie, but I do not wish to sway someone with my opinion before they even get a chance to watch it.
