Do you think Michael Moore...
2004-10-25, 8:20 PM #41
I never saw 911 but i heard moore did some nasty crap to George Bush. I personally liked bowling for columbine because i liked some of his points but im sick of this president bashing. Even though i'm getting more and more favorable to Kerry im getting sick of people being such an a** and not having any respect for the person that has one of the hardest jobs to do.

i think michael moore wears nice hats and tells nice stories.

seriously, the guy is just like a politician using informal language and wearing a shirt that isn't tucked in.... i dont see why so many people worship him as if he doesnt put his own spin on things.

I wish moore would go drown in a ditch, seriously what is he achieving? Ok, so he has films that express is opininated liberal extremist and usually WRONG view of the Bush administration, he as well takes things out of context and twists them to use to his advantage.

Wow, you wish death on him for making movies that disagree with you? I can't even respond to that in a way that won't get me banned.

So what has his opininated BS done? Why, it's inspired mass amounts of bandwagoners to say "Bush sucks and now I don't have to get up off my *** to find why I would say that!" Something that's only happened since...oh about every other anti-bush liberal extremist has expressed some overhyped and twisted view on things. First it was the dixie chicks, then moore, now green day's american idiot.

Moore is hardly extremist. It's funny how anything that you disagree with is twisted or extreme.
While it's true that there are instances where he's played a little loose with the truth, he still makes good points and informs people about other things that are true.

moore is just a spokesperson for the bandwagoners, I'll never take him seriously.

It sounds like you yourself are on an anti-Moore bandwagon. Have you even seen any of his movies?

Are you saying that criticizing the government makes someone an ***?

I think he's much more interesting than any politicians. He doesn't really side with any one party, he just has strong opinions. I'm aware that he puts spin on things, but he never claims not to.
Even when he spins things, he's closer to the truth than a lot of others. I'd take him any day over scum like Coulter, Hannity, and Limbaugh.

dry gear, you are aware that Moore has been found to fake and edite many a scene in his movies? I did not want to watch 9/11 becuase I knew what he was going to say, and I had already had "pondered" those issues. Secondly, the man does not understand economics, see Roger and Me. Thirdly, the whole faking and editing scenes to accomplish his goals. That's dangerous, becuase people buy into his movies hook line and sinker. he's providing them with false information(not all of it of course). I'm not saying Michael Moore is the only person who does this, and the Democrats are all Anti-Christs, those are just my reasons for not seeing 9/11, and for not liking Michael Moore.

I think some of the claims about him faking scenes are exaggerated, but I wouldn't go to see a movie of his expecting everything in it to be true. I'd go for something thought provoking, and then I can look up some of his claims or discuss them with people who would know if he was wrong.

The president's not your King, you know. You don't need to bow and tip your hat when he walks past. And I'm sure being a lawyer is not a walk in the park, but you don't have to respect someone for being a lawyer if they're a chump.

If that's a factual amount, then it's an example of one of the reasons I can't take Moore seriously as a documentary filmmaker -- he's in it for the money. Plus he's a political *******, and I don't care to watch movies made by political *******s.

By accepting the award for Best Documentary, yes, he does.

Let's just kick him in the sack and hurl him into the ocean so you sad sobs willl stop talking about him. I'm getting sick of hearing about Moore, period.

The fact that one man can get so much hype for saying "omfg teh presidnt sux0rs" is apalling when half of the god damned country is saying it every single day.

Need I say more?

That means nothing. Documentary isn't some prestigious title that means the work is unbiased and perfect. Documentaries have always been prone to bias and spin.

Hmmm, I've always got the impression a documentary was a factual work, and not subjected to bias and opinions.

i personally think many of his films are very very interesting, and they maybe do mock people but it's true most of the time. Like in many interviews he follows their ideas and it does seem quite rediculous, must suck to be american and have this guy screwing with your country though... :(

Dictionary definitions don't really account for much in arguments like these. There is a basis of fact for the most part, but truth can be stretched.
Here's a list of past winners: http://www.greencine.com/list?action=viewList&listID=4961

Look at Hearts and Minds. That one is anti-the Vietnam war. While lots of bad stuff happened there definitely, this documentary appears to be biased and one-sided. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed things in the most negative light possible.

The Times of Harvey Milk- This one is probably biased toward him. The synopsis says "this is not an objective look at a man, but a celebration of a martyr."

American Dream- This one looks like it's biased for the unions.
