Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 i didnt even bother with his last film. and looking back, my god 'bowling for columbine' was disgustingly manipulative in parts. its been a while, but i remmeber 'roger and me' being genuinely good. im sort of on the fence and need to hear opinions.

Guest 277: 930-933 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 He's as biased and manipulative as any politically motivated documentary maker. Wether or not he's still relevant depends on what your other sources of information are. For me he often brings something new with his documentaries which often entices me into exploring a certain subject a bit further but you have to take his films with a grain of salt etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 i feel like he lost relevancy after he told people to vote for John Kerry in the 2004 election. and then started bashing Ralph nadar and other third parties, totally going back on his old pledge to 'not vote fore the lesser of two evils because your still voting for evil' i liked Moore until he tried to win too many points with democrats/democratic party i miss his more independent passionate liberal spirt. edit: and yeah Michael's love for Barack Obama was questionable, made me loose a lot of respect for him for not putting Obama's feet to the fire at all until like 2-3 months ago when he announced his Afghanistan plan. IT was literally the first 'anti' obama policy article i had seen from him ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awepittance Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 i wouldn't be surprised if he got bought out by somebody or just has contractual and other obligations now to hold different viewpoiints. he is WAY more sanitized and generically democrat than he was at any point in his past. Maybe he's just depressed apathetic about politics like everyone else? who knows but i remember in Bowling for Columbine he was VERY hard on Bill Clinton in fact he even called him 'the greatest Republican president we've ever had' he hasnt said anything even close to that about Obama, giving him mostly a free pass.

Guest we_kill_soapscum Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Tony Rezko what what? ACORN what what? William Ayers what what? yr a fucking idiot these are yr complaints? being unhappy with obama is reasonable. being unhappy with him because he knew william ayers is fucking retarded. and ACORN has done a world of good for hundreds of thousands of poor families, so fuck off.

Guest Z_B_Z Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 he is WAY more sanitized and generically democrat than he was at any point in his past. yeah, this is probably right. and why it turns into an obama discussion too... i remember thinking obama was bullshit and all that but i wanted to believe that he could be the start of change cause things were so bad... fuck, he shouldve had more balls. as an administration and as a man.

joshuatxuk Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 Michael Moore was relevant to me when I was a immature, impressionable teenager. He's a glorified agit-prop film maker and nothing else. In an ideal world, he would stuck with low-key acting after Roger and Me. His last film criticized and dismissed capitalism YET he produced it with money from a major corporate studio, released it for profit in thousands of theaters, and then he applied for a tax break in his economically devastated home state. Fuck him and ever idiot who takes him seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
