Michael Moore: Filmmaker Michael Moore
built 630 days ago
Michael Moore isn't camera shy. In fact, he's as famous for his on camera antics as he is for his directorial efforts espousing liberal causes he personally supports. This sets Moore apart from cinema verite filmmakers who remain inconspicuous when filming and maintain an attitude of objectivity about the subjects and issues they're covering. In contrast, Moore's his own main protagonist. He confronts subjects on camera, dramatically proves points, convinces audiences and fires them up to take action. Moore's filmmaking is a political platform.

Filmmaker Michael Moore, known for his controversial documentaries on the American automobile industry, on gun violence, and on the Bush administration, now takes a stab at the U.S. health-care system in his new film "Sicko."

Oscar-winning filmmaker and bestselling author Michael Moore has made a king's fortune railing against the hypocrisy he epitomizes. In "documentaries" like Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, and in "nonfiction" books like Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, Moore has proved himself over and over to be the most shamelessly dishonest -- if crudely effective -- propagandist since Joseph Goebbels and Nazi documentarian Leni Riefenstahl. Now, in Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use of doctored film footage, manipulated facts, and spliced speeches to tamper with the truth.
