Movie Reviews of Roger & Me
Movie Review: Good one
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a well done documentary that basically educates the viewer about the horrors of capitalism and corporate greed. GM CEO Roger Smith lays off thousands of workers at a factory in Flint Michegan, thus leading to massive poverty in Flint. Their jobs were shipped to Mexico, where GM pursued to exploit the people there. An eviction officer is filmed going from house to house evicting families who were unable to meet their rent requirements. Pretty depressing. The message is clear in this movie; the Proletariat must unite and take up production themselves.Movie Review: Bad rap
Summary: 5 Stars
I think because of the movies that came after this one, Michael Moore has a bad rap with a lot of people. I show this movie to my Intro. to Film class every semester and I always have at least 10 people who say in their papers that they "hate Michael Moore" but really enjoyed this movie. It is funny with great editing and very little of the anger that seems to overtake his later films.
Movie Review: Roger and Me DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
Michael Moore tends to be a bit skewed in his perspective, however, when there is enough evidence to support his skewed perspective it makes for a more frigthening picture. My having lived in Flint, MI for nine years may not have ever happened had I seen the movie before the move there because I may never have moved- too much of it is (still) true!Movie Review: Great Documentary
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best documentaries I ever seen. He put the comedy elements in the right place so the movie wouldn't be so depressing. In a free enterprise economy you have to take the bitter with the sweet. Closing the plants was a business decision that really had nothing to do with the people. For a business to survive it has to cut its losses.Movie Review: Important movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Moore's been telling it how it is for quite awhile now. Interesting look at some of the processes that have got us to our current level of "progress." The US, and its mega corporations, need to start taking a longer-term view of things, so that the rest of the world stops overtaking us at our own game....
