Movie Reviews of Roger & Me
Movie Review: Been wanting to see this for YEARS!
Summary: 5 Stars
In the late 90's I worked on projects at 2 of the existing GM plants in Flint. I was amazed at decayed around every corner. I drove by Buick City and just shook my head at the large area of closed manufacturing plants. I knew nothing about the city's history except that GM closed Buick City.
Someone told me about this movie/documentary and it was in the back of my mind for years. Recently I started looking for it online, with no success. So, I checked Amazon and found it for less than $5, shipping included. I ordered it and as soon as the UPS guy dropped it off I watched it.
It meet all of my expectation. The disc was marked as used, but had no scratches or fingerprints. It was in a plain case, not the original one I assume.
I buy very few DVD as I'd rather rent them from Redbox. But, this is one I plan to keep. Not for the acting, but for the story of a company and locale that I have strong ties to.
Movie Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was so powerful it moved me to tears and it still chokes me up just thinking about it. The problems facing the people in this documentary are the same problems American families are facing today. Big corporations cutting corners so they can collect all the wealth and pay their employees practically nothing until one day they decide to lay everybody off and move to Mexico where they can pay people even less while the American people suffer. Watching people being evicted from their homes was heart breaking. Especially the women being kicked out on Christmas Eve with her small children watching. There is a huge gap between the wealthy and the poor in this country and it is growing. And places like Wal-Mart are only making things much worse. Bravo to Michael Moore for exposing people like Roger Smith and all the other low life fat cats. I hope Michael Moore really lays into George W. Bush in his upcoming documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.Movie Review: Great
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first Micheal Moore film, and the first one I've watched. This movie explores the devistating effects on GM's outsourcing on Flint, Michigan. This movie is better than I was anticipating- it is a very good documentary that makes you feel angry at GM and sad for Flint, Michigan and their desperate attempts to revive the city with such attractions such as the $100 million Autoworld indoor theme park. I would like to see Flint today to see what the town is like now- hopefully better than it was in this documentary. The only part of the movie I didn't like was when they showed the killing of the rabbit. That part could of been left out. (I guess they put that in to show some of the weird things some people would do to get by). This is a great yet now outdated film that I would reccommend watching- highly reccommended!

Summary: 5 Stars
This movie points at one of the fundamental failures of our system. The wealthy CEO's have gone to bed with politicians and the working poor now face an unprecedented battle for job security and living wages. I can't agree with the people who have tried to defend "capitalism." While I agree with the statistics that are presented, keep in mind that unregulated capitalism will eventually form slavery. Roger and Me uncovers the "how much profit is enough?" question I've been asking myself for a long time. In a day and age when energy prices are skyrocketing and real wages are falling, our very standard of living is at risk everyday thanks to the precedent set forth by "Roger." On an personal note, I hope Roger burns in hell for selling out the good people of Flint, MI.Movie Review: moore is an american hero
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great movie made by a man who simply cares about his neighbors and fellow Americans. I recommend watching this movie to both liberals and conservatives. If you have a heart and a brain, you'll see that Moore's work is a brave attempt at helping this country. I will never understand those on the right who call Moore a socialist and an America hater. Calling Moore anti American is simply asinine. And I strongly suspect that at least 90% of those accusers have never even seen this movie. (if you have seen it, the only other excuse for thinking Moore is unAmerican is that you are pure evil and have a breathtakingly low IQ)
If your on the fence about Moore or just curious... this is the movie to watch. It's Moore at his best.
