I'm just curious to know what you all think of Michael Moore. I recently saw a little CNN report on him and it was quite interesting.

Your opinion of Michael Moore(It is?)...
« Reply #1 on: June 29, 2003, 04:56:08 PM »
Hm, it's hard to say.  A lot of people said he kind of strategically edited his documentaries.   But, even if he did, it definatly makes a lasting impression.  Personally,  I have both his books, and have seen/own all his documentaries. (Had to download bowling for columbine)  I really enjoyed all of them.  I think he's really opened a lot of people's eyes to a lot of things.

There is this kid in my English class who HATED activists.  But, our teacher showed us some of Michael Moore's documentaries (The Big one, and Bowling for Columbine) and he kind of got a big kick in the head of "hey, maybe everybody isn't a dumb airheaded jock that lives on easy street, and never has to work for anything."  He was a lot more bareable after that. =x

I saw Bowling for Columbine and I found it very funny, and I really liked it. It was well produced and did make a great impression. Didn't completely answer the question of the root of our violent society, as the part about canada was very weak. (The black person they did find was from the US!)

I also think Moore should have done more with the Heston interview. Possibly bring in some more pictures, and really humiliate Heston more.
