BF2S Forums Michael Moore is at it again... [Capitalism - A Love Story]

He can be a little extreme sometimes but at least he's got the balls to do movies like this. That's more than what can be said for most people who bitch and moan but never actually DO anything.

Or perhaps he's just realised that being put out into the media is actually good for spreading what you believe.

I love it how people take all his documentries so seriously, as if they're a 100% credible source of information.  I enjoy watching his stuff because of the entertaining spin he puts on his docos, rather than just being a straight forward, boring barrage of information.

I loled at the title of this thread but nothing else sadly sigh

Who's Michael Moore?

i saw Bowling for Columbine, it was good. ill be seeing this.

Okay.

To be honest he's a better entertainer than a serious journalist etc.

I liked it when he went to Cuba.

With Capitalism being close to a religion and money being the new God I can see why Michael Moore raises some questions about it ... am looking forward to this flick also

harassing people is not an extreme measure

Correct ... it's a mild measure, my bad ...

And it's not harassment demanding answers from your "overlords"

Michael Moore's documentaries are always interesting. Despite his bias he always makes many valid points. I don't like all those people who discredit him completely; although he's one sided his sources are all legitimate. He just puts emphasis on the evidence that proves his argument and then puts a much lower profile of anything that counters this argument. He's like Lowing with better sources.

I have to say though that with two of his documentaries I've seen - Bowling and Sicko - the "stunts" he does are kind of pathetic. Taking the boat to Gitmo was just stupid, I mean what did he expect to happen? Of course they were going to block him out, it's a military base. He just used being blocked out as a way to make his "opponents" look bad. With "Bowling" and rocking up to Heston's house and showing him a picture of a girl who'd been shot - I mean all he looked like there was a fat douche-bag who scored points by harassing an old alzhiemic man. That's not cool. And how he always shows himself as the "outspoken hero" figure while doing this is pretty lame.

Still like I said, there is value in what he does.

Yes, it is harassment, and they are assholes. This bullshit that has been going on in the past couple years is far from capitalism. That doesn't mean the movie isn't drivel.

I haven't seen the movie yet so I'll take your word for it ...

I might check it out I liked the one he made bowling columbine! very good movie he mentioned how the media portrays the black guy as bad and how the rest of the people run away from blacks since blacks are portrayed in a negative mater.
