You should be careful using the word documentary and M. Moore in the same sentance. It's been proven he fabricated much of the "facts" in his last "documentary".

i havent seen the proof of fabrication, if you saw the movie you see the proof of "selectively representing the facts." I agree, he isn't the most politcally correct guy, or even socially acceptable, but i do think his documentaries at the least are thought provoking. and quite frankly, that is better than mindless going through this life accepting everything you are fed.

I liked Roger & Me, but that's all I've seen by him.

I wonder if this will have actually have substance, unlike BfC.

BfC (Bowling for Columbine for those who don't know) looked very appropriate sitting on the Blockbuster new release shelf with the other fiction. It is not a documentary. It is a comedic piece, regardless of your stance on our rights to own guns. It just happens to be a dark comedy for those who support the 2nd Amendment.

eh, roger & Me was alright, i think i am just too young to really get the seriousness of it. i would have had to live through it. But it was respectable as i think all his documentaries are.

I had watched BFC plus a couple of others of his. I think his viewpoints are interesting however the BFC one he was very netrual on the gun rights. He never did state if he was one or the other. Very netural and I thought very intersting.

He's got some other intersting stuff and he does do thought provoking shows.

I personally like the guys guts in some of the stuff he gets into.

As far as his stuff being "proven" to be faberacated, i'd like to see some linkage discussing and proving his fabrications.

Though, [edit]none of them aren’t proven, which is pretty much what their claiming Michael Moore of doing.

IMO, I think the film WAS informative you can't deny that fact. Granted the film was bias towards anti-gun. But whether you accept that or not, you can't accuse the man of trying to prove the most important question of all, which I'd hope all of you would really like to know, "Why is America so violent?". Though, that answer was not fully given, you can infer from all the “facts”[whether or not they are all facts] what his answer to the question was.

If you’ve already got your mindset on what is real and not, before you watch the film, you’re being bias as well. I watched the film with an open mind towards it all, I belong to the NRA, my father belongs as well, we own hand-guns, and rifles. After seeing the film, and reading Michael Moore’s book, Stupid White Man, I questioned the authority of my father keeping the guns in the house, for “protection”. Though, we do have the right to obtain a firearm for safety, we don’t need to stress this right.

For those are you who are pro-war, pro-gun, or whom are just opposed to guns, and wrote Michael off right away, and figured he was lying, or he “fabricated” his “facts”, might want to sit down, and watch it again, with an open mind to the film. Just let yourself listen to his points, and what good he is trying to do for YOUR country (though, if you oppose him, you’re still going to say he’s not helping it at all). IMO if you’re so stuck on having guns in your house, and taken way “From my cold, dead hands." You can’t say Michael Moore at least made the facts, material out there, for people to know, who didn’t know. He’s doing a lot better job then anyone in the U.S. Government, IMO.
