He’s just a lazy gotcha filmmaker. Roger & Me is a really good documentary, but it’s totally stilted.
Really good documentaries are heavily researched, pick a topic but don’t bring an agenda to try to make the story. The best documentaries tell the story in the way it begs to be told in context and without bias (or slander or conjecture). It’s the big problem I have in documentary filmmaking right now. A lot of ethical boundaries are being broken like they’re nothing.
A+ troll game.
MM is not the greatest documentary film maker in the world. It’s like infotainment and I think that’s what he aspires to. He’s a good guy though with generally very good political takes and positions.
And left-libertarian is a thing that goes back about 100 years before right-libertarian - and that’s if you dig back to right-libertarianism starting with like Mencken.
I agree with Michael Moore’s stances. But he fails when he tries to make himself a character in his documentaries. First half of Sicko was gold. Second half where he makes himself a character sending people to Cuba to get healthcare, ugh.
All his stances in Where To Invade Next were correct, but once again making himself a character in that film was cringe.
u guys like John Pilger?
He’s a very serious documentary filmmaker what are you talking about? I’m offended on behalf of him.
I just can’t seem to watch Roger&me doc… I should though. Uggg I’ll have to watch it now. 
Beware of the rabbit scenes. It’s not for the faint of heart.
Thanks
They are hard to listen to for a better indication.
Opps wrong thread
@skydiver8 Pete supporters are welcome here! I’m undecided between Pete, Liz and Bernie. There are certain things Pete is head and shoulders ahead of the field on, and he can have a hugely positive influence on the party win or lose if he’s in it til the end. I’m rooting for him in that regard.
I saw Roger and Me when it came out and looking at clips now I can see I hardly remember any of it.
Best parts were Bob Eubanks being a massive racist and Pat Boone looking like an idiot.
It’s actually in response to the ERA, believe it or not.
Biden for prez in 3030! But fuck right off until then please.
Nah the first was from Biden.
Yang on CNN now and getting ample time to go into greater depth. Good stuff.
Roger and Me is the only MM documentary I’ve seen. Long time ago but I thought it was great. Pets or meat is a powerful statement, idc what anybody says.
