Clevercell Very disappointing...
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.
aphrodisiaciix It's 2017, Obama is no longer president, Donald Trump has been in office for over 2 months now. We've seen nothing change since the time of this documentary. The biggest change (and most unpredictable) has got to be... Donald got elected. See the irony? What does that say about the mentality/desire of this nation?Obama's presidency did not do justice to his constituents; and he himself became just another helpless politician in the pockets of the rich of the corrupted Wall Street and corporations.The top 1% is still enjoying their taxes cut and the expansion of their wealth. The middle-class is shrinking both in size and spending power. The low-income class is expanding and continuing to suffer in their dark landscape of misery.Justice is still leaning onto the side of the rich and the privilege ones. The banking industry is still under-regulated and Wall Street is still operating the same way as before the bailout. No one (except maybe a few low-echelon people) in the financial sector get indicted let alone go to prison.The band plays on, the champagne corks pop, and the capitalism party dances all the way to the bank... until the next bailout...
R-P-McMurphy I love Michael Moore documentaries, he makes them in the way that they come out being equally entertaining as they are informative. This is no exception for that rule, but it isn't as good as previous works of his (Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11).Like in his other works, Michael Moore attacks the system as he looks for social justice, having been in a catholic school, I can understand that feeling of helping people in need. Here he attacks capitalism in general and has fun with ideas like "whether or not Jesus would be a capitalist".Michael Moore uses art as a device to change the way people think, thats what I love about him. He knows how important art can be in people's lives and therefore makes movies that are important not only for the world in general, but for himself as he tends to mention his home town in his movies giving us a feeling of comfort, like we're talking to a friend and not just some journalist.I wonder if Michael Moore has endangered his career with his socialist views, like Jean Seberg and Luis Buñuel have before him. I hope he does keep making movies, because every now and then in the middle of all these mind-numbing blockbusters coming out, I need to watch something thoughtful like "Bowling for Columbine".I'd recommend it to anyone who liked "Inside Job", "Sicko", "Fight Club", and/or "American Psycho".
KineticSeoul I seen a couple of Micheal Moore movies in the past and although I didn't agree entirely with what those films try to convey. But what those films did was got me thinking and thus I decided to check this movie out. This is a well crafted documentary and a important film that should be watched by many viewers. It's one of those movies that keep you thinking about today's economy and society after it's over. I don't want to get too deep into the issue and even if the viewers agree or disagree or somewhat agree and somewhat don't, it will keep the viewers thinking. And it can even be powerful sometimes. Even if the viewers know a lot about the issue that is going on such as "rich getting richer and poor getting poorer". But the way it covers the issues make it leave more of a impact and will probably want to deeply know more about the issues that this movie covers. I personally thought this movie covers the points really well while covering some powerful issues of greed. Especially how people commit crimes against humanity the legal way.8.3/10
cmahoney9-120-805838 I'll have to give this a 10 out of 10...for the delusional.Michael Moore masquerades as a man of the people - a guy who fights the oppressive fat cats of a capitalist society. Really, what does it matter if you're not subject to the rules you want set out for the less fortunate? Moore's made millions making people believe he isn't a filmmaker as well as a millionaire.Moore's a capitalist because he's taken advantage of the freedom it provides him to make money off of bashing capitalism and other subjects that rise up into the public consciousness.If you think for a minute that Michael Moore wants to saddle up next to you and listen to your problems - think again. The man is looking down on you from his mansion and laughing all the way to the bank.
