@AriesLudzik he's a filmmaker, thats what filmmakers do...film is inherently fictional in its construction, whether documentary or not...a documentary is after the truth of a situation, and truth and facts are two completely different things. it's Moore's version of the truth because he's the one directing the film, as every film needs a single point of view to be coherent. so to bash Moore is to be completely ignorant of the nature of filmmaking to begin with.

Michael Moore = pure scum !

This documentary exposes Moore for the fraud that he really IS. He is a master propagandist who fabricates many scenes, tells lies, and bullies people around. In this film, many of the people whose names appear in Moore's movie credits come out and expose Moore for the absolute lies he peddles in his films. Many scenes are staged, he is ruthless with dissidents, and his army of bodyguards shield him by keeping people from asking him uncomfortable questions.

Ohh. Interesting. The Emporer (Moore) has no clothes.

Michael Moore is brillant, him and Ryan Eashoo deserve more credit than they are getting.
