Sicko...Moore's best film...

Posted by RGA on July 12, 2007 at 16:40:50:
Michael Moore is often bombastic, in your face and clubbing the viewer of the head and if you are liberal that is fine because it preaches to the converted.

This time though he has succeeded in dropping the republican democrat line and just tells it like it is. It is not even about socialism versus capitalism. It is a case study on why people are being victimized by an issue that should never have become an issue.

The pointed question is simply how did America let profit become more important than American lives.

I am a Canadian and I agree with socialized medicine because I can;t imagine going bankrupt over a broken ankle.

As a film it works extremely well in that "are you kidding me" kind of way. No cartoons and not a bunch of numbers on the screen. It has a more human feel this time around -- and it's an issue that is killing more people than 9/11 did. Perhaps it's because the people dying are out of site and no big buildings to plaster on ever news channel. Out of site, usually the poor and minorities so nobody cares. For all that one can say about Michael Moore it is clear that he does care. It's sad that he is vilified for that.

But don't let the somber subject fool you -- there are some amazingly funny moments - kind of laugh out loud bits that have one laughing in the absurdity of "how could they let that happen?"

A Doctor in Britain (with a million dollar home an Audi and a big screen TV in a very upper scale neighborhood making $200k a year) said that he lives very well and never needs to make medical decisions based on someones income or insurance. Sure he won't have 7 homes and 7 tvs and 5 ports cars but it's tough to argue that he's not a success or "rich."

And many services are already socialized in the US and run quite well.
