Summary: 5 Stars
The Awful Truth by Michael Moore. People wonder what makes
Michael Moore so great, simple, hes a guy who has the guts
and heart to tell it like it is. Hes a concerned American
whose not going to sit idly by and watch this country down the drain. When Moore first made "Roger and Me" in 1989, everyone thought he was crazy. American Greed? No, never they said the critics, downsizing? lol Whats thats? No America will never into the capitalistic greedy nation thats hated by other countries and of course it has sadly.
Moore already knew this in 1989 and more than twenty years
later here we are, with the rich elite and the bureacracy
of the Presidency doing nothing, though promising,that they
will do something. Then of course with George W. Bush
preaching about moral values and hiring Christian rightwing evangenlist to sing his praises for money and his campaign...America has really sank to a new low and if we dont do something, things will get bad to worse, and that is what Moore has been saying all his life.
The Awful Truth not surprising also exposes lies in society
and exposes several greedy corporation who have axploited
and killed the working man all while preaching famiy values
since their births: Disney, Phiillip Moorris , Camel, United
Parcel Service. These are just a couple of companies that Moore
exposes in Season 1 and Season2. The stuff he uncovers isnt
surprising, its revolting and sad because these companies
are still in business, still killing the working man.
In Season 1 Episode 3 Moore uncovers the shameful history of the Disney company how they hire workers overseas who make products in sweatshops, how Disney mistreats their own employees, all while Michael Eisner profits all the way to the troops. The angle with "Crackers the Corporate fighting Chicken" is absolute hilarious. Moore as he does, uses a smart character and a hand held camera to uncover the truth about another corrupt firm.
Its used to a get of course and lighten the mood to a very
sad matter, corporate greed, but Moore as often he does
brilliantly brings home his points.
Yes these are shades of General Motors just in the documentary Roger and Me in this episode, this again its one of thesupposed family organizations out there. Man what a lie that is. Most people dont know that the former Ceo Michael Eisner is involved in a lawsuit with one of his former friends.
As Moore uncovers back in 1999, Eisner was makig $60,000 an hour!!! Yet the exploited workers overseas were making thirty
cents a day!!!
Season one is absolutely brilliant, Moore also paints an ugly picture of George W. Bush and the Republicans, in only more Americans werent brainwashed by this party, perhaps the problems
of the world and 9/11 would not have happened.
In episode Four Moore targets another supposed squeaky clean
image of the UPS and uncovers employees bullying, and employee
cuts and practices all while the company was posting a profit,
yes shades of General Motors.
The highlight of Season one for me was when Moore took a bunch
of victims who used to chain smoke and made them sing Christmas Carol's inside the buildings of well known tobacco and cigarette making companies like Phillip Moore and Camel who for years lied and sayed that smoking wasnt harmful and it doesnt damage your body or throat.
What a bold face American lie and Moore even goes to the trouble
of airing ads in the fifties that show that this lie has been going for ages, its true enlighting as it is englighting and disgusting.
Everyone should see this series from Bravo tv, it was a gem
of a series and its a pity that it has gotten the recognition
it deserves because its a great series. Moore of course has gotten the recognition for his work, so there is hope people
and you know Moore will not give up his fight against greedy
corporations.
