Michael Moore is an odd character. He has the skills to convey broad concepts tailored to his perspective. He attacks capitalism, healthcare, and everything that gets in his way. In Team America: World Police he is referred to as "A Socialist Weasel" by I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E. and that is not out of line. What surprises me is that Moore makes valid points, and is skilled at playing them out on the screen. The problem is that he picks a side, plays it out, and calls it a truth. In Sicko we see how bad the US Healthcare system is, but we don't see the positives of the system. He is infallible in his "documentaries". That is another problem, they are called documentaries, but they aren't. They are politically motivated campaigns to push his ideals on whomever will watch.
Honestly his movies are more like the cheap romance novels I see all too often. Moore is the hero who has come to enlighten us and save the poor victims. He will sweep us off our feet and show us there is a better, safer place. Then he will attack our enemies or friends, or anyone he doesn't agree with. The only thing missing is the pebbled summits, and trust me I do not want to see his.
The worst thing about it is that he is so good at conveying messages, too bad all of his are diluted mutated truths.
