have you heard of this new documentary film called "Manufacturing Decent" about Michael Moore?

Question

the filmmakers set out as fans and eventually ended up being left with the opinion that he was was actually a mean person and a filmmaker who fudged the truth to make his films what they were!

is this a surprise to anyone? i never trusted that artist from day one. I never got the feeling that his version of the truth was honest or useful nor did i appreciate his way of dealing with people and humans. Why should he dicide who is good and who is bad?

now if i went overboard and called him a villian and bash him I would be doing the exact same thing i criticize him for doing to George Bush and others but i am pleased that his or rather our hypocrysy may be more visible after this film is released about him and his work.

Answer 1

lowroad - you know how i feel about this man. for anyone to believe anything that comes out of this man's mouth or 'documentary' films is beyond any ignorance i have ever witnessed in my entire life.

Answer 2

The problem is what we consider to be the "truth." Michael Moore doesn't necessarily need to be honest, but what he does do is shed some light on a different perspective from what you would normally be fed from CNN. It's so surprising how many people are afraid of considering different sides to stories. We're so used having blind faith in the media that anything that comes across as a different view is seen as untrustworthy or just plain lies.

Answer 3

And individuals hearken to what Fidel says are thinks could have sworn maximum folk concept he became a nut yet even as he comes out with something it truly is about a movie maker that made Bush look an fool his the perfect round. Is the Republican press now praising a commie my note i imagine i only had a heart attack and hell iced over. no longer American by technique of how yet from the isle ruined by technique of Brian and bankers

Answer 4

I agree that we should merely stick to the truth and highlight it rather than make judgements regarding good or bad which can only be decided based on the total understanding of the entire context, its past, present and future.

Answer 5

I used to revere him completely, but now I only visit his site for news about Bush's approval ratings. Whenever I read his books now, all I hear is: "You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record, baby, right round . . . " He's WAY too liberal, even for me. But at least he's not as murderous as some of the others on the fringe.

Answer 6

See for yourself.
