Just perfect...
A lot of fun.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Miss Moore goes out of her way to promote her liberal anti American ways in this trash heap dumpster fire. Many times I struggled to figure out if it was Miss Moore I was looking at or Rosie O Donnel
I gave this film 3 stars for the laughs it evoked. But to view this as a serious documentary is ludicrous. While there were a few legitimate points made in this film, there is no where on earth that is Nirvana. Try exercising free speech in Great Britain or Germany. Hunting in France?...Only if you're rich, and you have to rent the gun from the Government. Every point in this film can have holes poked through it. For example: the first couple he interviewed was a police officer and a buyer for a major retailer. Both high powered (relatively) jobs. How do couples that both work high pay jobs, with no kids, live in the US? Police officers in the US are unionized...High pay, lots of vacation time, and great benefits, plus retirement with full pay and benefits...Can Italy say that? The only difference is that in the US if you have no ambition and are lazy you go nowhere. As it should be. Thanks for reading my rant.
I liked the first Moore film on Flint, MI but he has always started with left wing propaganda and shows that his films are just extensions of Pravda like journalism and its orientation to 'capitalism'. Yet Russia and China are becoming more capitalist, while still regaining control over the people in social interactions.His comment, "slaves built this country" is just like Obama saying 'you didn't build this country, we did". The leftist theology never ends.So, Michael who paid the wages of workers. Capitalist, people willing to invest cash into major projects like railroads, buildings, early roads, cars, electricity... forgot about that did you? Did workers say, 'hey let's build cars' or did they earn a living from capital investment.But yes wages were indeed low and it was Henry Ford to doubled their wages so that every worker could buy a Ford, something that only the RICH, like Moore, could afford. And labor unions were necessary in the 1900.He also fails to mention (on purpose) that there was a Trans-Atlantic slave trade, most were run by African tribal leaders who sold slaves and that of some 10 million slaves, 4 million went to Brazil and the rest of Central and South America. and some 450,000 Africans in the US for the slave trade.Moore just simply distorts facts and cherry picks and uses the sin of omission to 'prove' his left wing narrative bias.Sadly his films profit from paranoia, conspiracy theory and duplicity.
This is a review of the documentary ''Where to Invade Next'' (2015), by Michael Moore. This review will contain spoilers. In the documentary Moore ''invades'' some different countries in Europe. Here he shows things those countries has successfully brought in to their society, things he believe the U.S needs to improve in. He asks people how and why they are doing it this way, then he ''conquer'' these ideas and brings them back to America. In the end he reveal that all these ideas are from the beginning from USA and the European countries has just borrowed them from the U.S. The arguments that Michael Moore presents is according to me biased. He only shows the positive sides of the European countries and also leave out important information, not all that he says is true. Everyone hasn't 8 weeks of paid vacation in Italy and not all schools in France has great food, but this things strengthens Moore 's arguments and that's why he puts them in the film anyway. Of course he wants to deliver a message to the audience, he believe that the United States have some issues they need to work with and for all I know he might be right. But for me, the problem in this movie isn't whether or not he is right, but how he convince the audience of it. It is in my opinion not right to present a misleading picture of both the European countries and of the U.S. The people needs to have an honest chance to choose what to believe and then they must know the truth. To summarize, I think that this documentary is biased and Michael Moore isn't showing the whole truth. If you want to see this documentary you need to be critical to Moore's arguments. This isn't a documentary, it is propaganda. I wouldn't recommend this movie because it can give you a wrong and misleading picture of the world.
