"Taking a boat to Cuba and asking for medical care over a megaphone was nothing other than a cheap stunt that demonstrated nothing but Moore's idea of irony"
On CNN he called it satire - he knows full well he is not going to be allowed in. Sure it's a stunt - it's satirical humour - whether all will find it funny or not is another matter.
"The round table discussion in Paris was just plain stupid. That's the crap I hate in this movie."
That is a form of storytelling within his mocumentary. How do the Americans living in France feel about their health care. First hand.
The issue is that he is using anecdotal stories with facts. I found the laundry bit hilarious.
"To me that is a hell of a lot more compelling than Moore's punk pranks in Cuba or his round table in Paris. Some times substance is more meaty than style. This would be a classic case."
Sounds to me you wanted him to make a movie about a different subject than looking at what he did make. He is not making a film about hospitals and how they're run he made a film about the insane idea of profit over medicine. He shows the results of that with LA Kaiser. There is no program because such a program is not profitable.
Cuba and Paris is to show viewers what it is like in other countries with satire. His films are not documentaries they are mocumentaries and he puts in those mock scenes. Compared to his other films this film has ONE under 3 minute scene on the horn, and the round table scene was a conversation which was also under 5 minutes.
I mean if people want "just the fact" then why even go to a movie? You can read a book. This is film for entertainment and education aimed at the masses and condenses the facts into an acceptable running time. Moore could have put tons more into this but it would have a 55hour running time.
