Documentary
4 stars
I love Michael Moore. He’s a bit too far left wing for me, but he’s passionate about speaking up for the little guy and butting heads with big business, government and anyone else who keeps the little guy down. And he provides quite a compelling argument that sure makes you think about what is wrong with the world. In this movie, the theme is wealthiest, top 1%’s biggest fear: the uprising of the rest of us little guys in the 99%. No matter what your politics (sure, he jabs Reagan and Dubya, and praises Carter and Roosevelt) he tries to dispel fears of Socialism though he supports Democracy, but it’s mostly about the rich feeding off of the poor – and the poor fighting back. There are a few eye-openers, mainly the Dead Peasants program used by most blue chip companies and others who profit from their employees’ deaths (Walmart withdrew from this practice once Moore got involved). I love his use of vintage video clips and music. Never boring, always entertaining, and I love his use of humor while pointing out hard truths. Stick around through the ending credits for various anecdotes and quotes from the likes of John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Just go see it. Even if you disagree, you have to admit he has some good arguments and I’m pretty sure everyone reading this is part of that 99% “little guy” that Moore fights for.
