Movie Reviews of Manufacturing Dissent
Movie Review: This film was probably funded by the CIA
Summary: 1 Stars
I saw this film in a cinema and was struck by several things. The first was the paucity of material on which it was based. Sure, the bank giving out guns in it's main lobby was a setup, but so what? The insanity of an organisation (that robs people blind in the first place) giving out guns full stop was given dramatic license, and I thought well done. It was a dramatic trick of presentation, but the essential message was the point. These folks are just shooting the messenger, and they look soooo cheap doing it.
There were a few other things, bits of fluff really, but in the main the most interesting thing was, of all things, the musical score. Sitting there in the cinema it seemed to me the music was out of all proportion to what the filmmakers were actually saying. Listen to it sometime without being distracted by the fluffy content. It's very creepy, ALL through the film. It says: 'this man is not to be trusted. Do not trust him. He has lied to you, he is an illusionist', or sentiments to that effect. In other words, the music is out of proportion to what's being said, which is not much, and certainly not worth the film used to say it. It's like a Trojan horse: the feeling from the music is totally out of proportion to the facts articulated. It tries to turn the viewer against him, but doesn't present a compelling enough reason why -I hope you're getting the point at this stage! So one has to wonder where these fools got the money to make it. Ever hear of Cointelpro? Look it up. And I'll leave this review at that.
Movie Review: I struggle with words.
Summary: 1 Stars
Michael Moore is not a very good filmmaker. Most of us know that except those that accept his bias as fact and believe wholeheartedly in his persuit of that "truth" to all extremes. Don't get me wrong - I'm politically radical but Michael Moore's work is not objective as this "film" is not. This is an incredibly hack presentation that displays exactly what is wrong with the onslaught trend of filmmaking that Michael Moore has undoubtedly encouraged.
Most of this "documentary" is non-linear and doesn't make or build upon points. It is merely a series of cursory, non-incisive interview clips that are strung together, seemingly at random. I really enjoy watching anti-Michael Moore documentaries in general (FareinHYPE was excellently entertaining) but if this is supposed to be an "objective criticism" (is not really neither as no points are made) then perhaps it shouldn't simultaneously be billed as "Michael Moore doesn't want you to see this" or things like how incisive it is.
Sure, it's clever to turn the cameras on Michael. Sure, his life has blown up immensely over the last 20 years, but since so many of his pundit enemies employ the same tactics that he does in directing and editing, we are really just treated to the same problems.
This was extremely disappointing. I can only hope that "Michael Moore Hates America" is better...
Movie Review: Interesting, but in the end a FAILURE!

I didn't liked this documentary! If you want to see a real interesting anti-Michael Moore documentary watch Michael Moore Hates America.
I though that Manufacturing Dissent was about criticizing the movie Sicko but I was wrong, this is more about criticizing Michael Moore's manipulations with his pros and cons.
What many people doesn't realize is that WE DON'T CARE whenever Michael Moore exaggerate or not! His points of view are TRUTH!!! The war in Irak IS WRONG!! People NEED Universal Heathcare! People doesn't need to buy SUPER MACHINE GUNS to defend themselves from thiefs!
People shouldn't say that what Michael Moore says is senseless because is NOT!!! IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE! Is up to us to believe him or not, but is NOT senseless.
P.S: Im not saying that I support Michael Moore in every way because there are MANY things that I disagree with him but I don't think of him as an enemy.
Adios.
Movie Review: Manufacturing dissent of dissent.

I find it very ironic that so many documentaries have been made about a DOCUMANTARIAN. Listen, Moore wears his liberal bias on his sleave. He has stated on many occasions that he presents one side of a story, in defense of the other side of stories being told on a daily basis by corporations, politicians, and our very own news media. And speaking of the media, no one thing/person has been attacked more harshly by Moore in his films than the media. I find that very ironic as well, because if you listen to the Bill O'Reilly's and Rush Limbaugh's of the world, our news media has a strong left wing bias.
Look, if you don't like Michael Moore's opinion, fine. But it's not like the other side isn't being represented 24/7.
Movie Review: Manufacturing Decent
Summary: 1 Stars
Michael Moore has never done anything that hasn't been manufactured, so the title is perfect.. He has no actual concept of what the truth is on any issue he has ever explored on film. So, if you enjoy his far fetched fiction,buy it. If not, it will just tend to annoy you,so don't waste your time and money.
