Movie Reviews of Manufacturing Dissent
Movie Review: A Fair Critique of Moore
Summary: 4 Stars
First off, I am very sympathetic to Michael Moore's ideas. I would love to see more gun control in the US, the Iraq war come to an end, and health care for everyone. I enjoy his movies for their entertainment value and because they champion causes I believe in. His methods, however, are disturbing. How can you trust anything the guy says knowing the following: The premise of "Roger & Me" was Moore's quest and ultimate failure to get an interview with Roger Smith. Turns out he did interview Roger Smith but decided to cover it up since it didn't make for a compelling movie.
Manufacturing Dissent is a fair documentary. The interviews are with people from both sides. Some love Michael Moore, some hate him. But the important thing is that a lot of the people interviewed worked with Michael Moore. The movie reveals that Moore is not necessarily in search of the truth, just in search of a way to validate things he already believes to be true. This movie is great for anyone who values intellectual honesty.
See Manufacturing Dissent for its content, because its production quality will not impress.
Movie Review: Exposing Micheal More
Summary: 4 Stars
Finally, someone made a documentary on him...
I remember watching his "Bowling for Columbine" and thinking that he twisted information for his own agenda. After watching this I'm sure of it.
I'm happy to say that watching "Bowling for Columbine" was a barrowed copy. Never has that man received a penny from my pocket... Nor will he. To conduct himself in the manner that he does in the name of gathering facts, is at best shameful. His titles and awards should be stripped. Along with being banned from cinematography.
If you are a Moore fan or not this is a must watch.
Movie Review: Well done exposure of a snake oil salesman
Summary: 4 Stars
To be honest I have never seen an entire Micheal Moore film. I refuse to give him one dime of my money, or waste my time seeing the excrement he spews. I watched this film as an assignment, I was floored. How can so many "Hollywood" types support this guy? He pro ports to have journalistic integrity when in fact he has no integrity by his own admission.
I hope now that his pseudo journalism has been exposed, he will fall into the obscurity of others, like him, that have taken liberties with the truth. Such greats as Dan Rather, Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass. I highly recommend this movie.
Movie Review: Media Manipulation
Summary: 4 Stars
Canadian television documentary detailing Michael Moore's rise to power by manipulating his films to prove his points. Mostly details the making of his first film "Roger & Me". This is not a one sided documentary. One of the problems I had with this is I asked myself the question why are people like Ralph Nader and Phil Donahue continuing to be friends with Moore. The footage of Moore on "Donahue" made me cringe. I have nothing against Moore's films and own all of them on dvd but this is well worth seeing. Partly funded with Australian money from SBS.Movie Review: Good documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
I have seen MM Hates America and I thought this was a better film for showing what M. Moore is really like. Good bio and good job of pointing out numerous hypocrisies.
