...is a career summation OF sorts for Moore. Looking forward to watching a pirated copy of this online. How's that for capitalism?

So, will Moore make money off of this movie? I'm sure deep down he loves capitalism, his wallet keeps getting thicker.

Watched Fahrenhype 9/11 in response to Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. The same people Moore interviewed appear and are upset at Moore, saying he twisted, edited, and misrepresented their words. He is clearly a propagandist with an agenda indepentent of truth and sound reasoning. What a clown! I will never waste my time on his films again.

Michael Moore

is an entertainer like Rush. I agree with some of his views but not all. He is out to make some money from the same people he critiques.

This is a very fine documentary, one of the best of 2009. F.Y.I., everybody, a documentary CAN HAVE A POINT OF VIEW and still be a documentary. Documentaries are under no obligation to be fair and/or balanced. In fact, ALL documentaries have a bias, a point of view, an overall perspective, and so on.

THIS IS A GOOD THING.

Michael Moore represents my view of capitalism very well. Instead of feeling like he subjected me to some form of twisted propaganda, I feel refreshed that a filmmaker like him (he's one of the only ones) is making films AGAINST the capitalist system of economy. Capitalism sucks. It rewards greed and punishes honesty. It promotes the hording of wealth and a dog-eat-dog mentality that leaves millions homeless and diseased.

Michael Moore's films are always fascinating. Sure he uses editing and other filmmaking techniques to bolster his views, but what is wrong with that? Moore is a hero of mine because he speaks the inconvenient truths that America needs to hear.

Doc Rivers

in other words Brook E.....you love capitalism....thank you very much. what other economic system would you rather have?

I moved to Utah 15 years ago and my facination with the myopic world view of many of its citizens never ceases to entertain me. Keep the comments and Jeff Vice's hilarious movie reviews coming Deseret. I love it.

re: Doc Rivers

Believing in Capitalism, is kind of like believing in santa claus or the easter bunny.
The super wealthy can always depend on the middle class to support them.
They throw them a bone here and there to keep the masses in line.
I would rather live under socialism, the truth is that I already pay the taxes for it, I just never get all the benefits that full socialism would give me.
