so it would appear that michael moore has ventured on up to the land past the 49th parallel, taking to our federal election like heavy books to a banana in my book bag.
im not really sure whether i like his opinions. they are very one-sided and coloured in a singular fashion. i really enjoyed "bowling for columbine". on the other hand, "sicko" gave a rather illustrious view of canada's health care system. he's very selective about which comments he inserts into his films and where. it's all meant for effect.
thus i wouldnt really call him a documentary maker. rather Mr. Moore is more a third-party, political outsider, running as an independent in a neverending election.
yes he brings important issues to light. yes his film style is at times amusing. but no i would not quote or make reference to his works in a school assignment.
it'll be interesting to see what he does with that film footage from the Sault. apparently after the all-candidate's debate, he and the candidates cracked open four cold Molsons. perhaps its a "Canada has better beer" documentary?
