Michael Moore: People
built 614 days ago
People like Howard Dean, Anne Coulter, Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh may very well be extremists. The difference is that Anne Coulter is not the Chair of the Republican Party, and the real Chair of the Republican Party is not afraid to sit down and debate the Democratic Party Chair, somebody who loves to throw around vicious rhetoric for the cameras but is too much of a coward to sit down and actually debate his positions with an opponent.

Michael Moore: This film does cut across party lines. Everybody gets sick; everybody has had a problem with insurance or the prescription drugs they’re supposed to be taking or an elderly parent who needs care. On the surface, it does seem that the only people who are going to be upset are the executives of insurance and pharmaceutical companies.

While Moore's SiCKO follows the trailblazing path of previous hit films, the Oscar-winning BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and all-time box-office documentary champ FAHRENHEIT 9/11, it is ... something very different for Michael Moore. SiCKO is a straight-from-the-heart portrait of the crazy and sometimes cruel U.S. health care system, told from the vantage of everyday people faced with extraordinary and bizarre challenges in their quest for basic health coverage.

Michael Patrick Moore was born a beautiful, healthy baby in 1963. By 1997, Michael was on death row in Huntsville Prison for murder. What happened in those few years to Michael? Michael wasn't born to grow up and kill someone. No one is I suppose, but there are circumstances that drive people down different roads in life, circumstances that at some point in time might have been altered but weren't, circumstances that accumulate over a period of years, gaining momentum until there's an explosion. Years of pent-up range, years of rejection and abuse come together one day with an outcome that is predictably violent.

In Bowling for Columbine, Moore draws elaborate connections between the weapons-manufacturing plants in the vicinity of Littleton, Colorado, where the 1999 Columbine High School massacre occurred, and a series of savage American overseas adventures through the 20th century. He throws in the Enron scandal, racist cops, the Ku Klux Klan and the National Rifle Association, and voila: guns don't kill people. People don't even kill people. Americans kill people.

Bob Dreyfuss wonders how Michael Moore could get the entire blame for 9-11 so back-asswards, throwing it all on the obviously innocent Saudis and ignoring completely the Israelis. Michael Moore is a big-time Hollywood film director. You need money - lots of it - to make big-time Hollywood films. The people who produce, finance, and distribute big-time Hollywood films, and in particular this one, and any other that Moore would like to make, are not going to finance a film that lays any blame for anything on Israel. It's a, um, tribal thing. Moore knows that his American audience has a psychological need for a foreign villain to help deal with the guilt that America itself was primarily responsible for 9-11, and the connections of the Bush Crime Family to the Saudi elites allows him to have his villain and attack Bush at the same time.
