I really enjoy Michael Moore’s films. Don’t get me wrong, I certainly don’t agree with everything he says in his films, and I don’t like all his tactics… but if you can’t still appreciate hearing views and ideas that you don’t share despite the fact that you don’t share them, I think there is something seriously wrong.
I really get a kick out of people who say “his movies aren’t documentaries because documentaries aren’t supposed to be biased”. That’s total nonsense. All stories are told from a point of view, and every point of view has a bias. If you don’t want ANY bias, go watch the evening news… cause you’re talking about news reports, not movies. Anyway…
The newest movie Moore is coming out with revolves around the current economic crisis and the causes thereof. The folks over at Dark Horizons give us this:
Overture Films and Paramount Vantage have announced that Oscar-winner Michael Moore’s new documentary feature will be released domestically on October 2, 2009. The as-yet-untitled film will explore the root causes of the global economic meltdown and take a comical look at the corporate and political shenanigans that culminated in what Moore has described as “the biggest robbery in the history of this country” – the massive transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to private financial institutions.
YIKES!!! Could Moore and Republicans actually have something in common now?!?!?! Either way I’m looking forward to seeing his take on things… even if I don’t end up agreeing with his conclusions.
