Regardless of how you feel about Michael Moore, his politics, or how he crafts his documentaries, you absolutely must see this movie.
Being someone who hasn't had health insurance for over five years now, I was almost dreading this movie. Now that I've seen it, I feel compelled to tell everyone I know to plunk down the 7 or 8 bucks to see it. It's compelling, disturbing, bi-partisan, sometimes funny, and completely necessary to identifying what we need to make our country a better place to live.
Michael Moore seems to be the only filmmaker who has the vision to, not only point out what's wrong with the picture, but make reasonable suggestions as to how to fix it. Unlike some of his previous movies, he skewers anyone who has had a hand in the way our health care system works (or doesn't), and that means parties on both sides of the political aisle.
The greatest amount of attention recently has been focused on his trip to Gitmo with a boatload of 9/11 rescue workers, and the federal investigation that inevitably followed. I have to say that it is one of the most compelling segments of the film, especially since it follows a slew of stories from Canada, England and France, detailing how great their socialized health care programs are.
There's a lot more to say, but please just go see this movie. It's too important to ignore. Even if you don't agree with Michael Moore's style, it's a subject that will be debated for many years to come.
