  • "The only way we're going to be able to turn things around is through mass action. This country isn't going to come back into our hands just because we showed up to vote last November." - Michael Moore, Justin Herman Plaza, Thursday, September 17th, 2009

    Excellent. The only trouble with Michael Moore films is that not enough people attend them!

    Makes sense to me! Wife's the MD (in the Navy) & Im the former Army CPT now a business man. We both worked & sacrificed many, many years to get where we are today and deserve our compensation. Capitalism is good!! Greed is bad!! Im a D.B. because I served my country for 9 years and love the USA??? Get real!!!!

    Such a great speaker and motivator.
    I was so happy when President Obama won the election, and shared the joy with the American people.
    That we still have to be aware is so sad, and just can't let it to those who were supposed to handle our interests.
    Thanks Michael for such a great fight and struggle you remember us all to be aware of, and take action agaist.
    Kind regards from Denmark

    Because it's frustrating to be on the front lines fighting for the rights of people who won't do more than get up and vote. Taking this country back from those who trashed it takes a lot more time and effort than most are willing to give.

    Yes, but capitalism is running amok, and corporate America calls all the shots through campaign donations to both parties. I fear not an enemy that takes up arms against us. I fear the greed that has become pervasive in America. That greed will destroy us from within, with no shot being fired.

    Did you know that Michael Moore was an Army Ranger, MD (Surgeon), Small Business Owner, and any other fantasy boy he wants to play. I'm sure he's donating his entire (not just opening day) movies sales!! yeah right!!

    He's right on corporatocracy but the problem isn't capitalism- capitalism was hijacked decades ago. The problem starts with the debt-fueling Federal Reserve and its system of inflation due to our fiat currency.
    He looks at the cause and not the effect. The effect is more and more people on the dole and the elite becoming richer at the expense of the middle class. Socializing/centrally planning our economy will make us all poorer. We'll all be poor if anyone that makes a profit is criminalized.

    so then how is he a capitalist? Film makers also have to be on a scheduled permit, arrive 5am on the set and set everything up. check on the staff, pay careful attention to the lighting, focus, zooming at all times. IT'S WORK.

    BUT I DECIDED TO DOUBLE-CHECK AND I SEE THAT MOORE ALLOWED DISNEY TO OWN THE RIGHTS. HE WAS A FOOL. MANY PRODUCERS WORK OUT A FINANCIAL DEAL BUT OWNERSHIP STAYS WITH THE PRODUCER. Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the principals of Walt Disney Co.'s Miramax Films division, have personally acquired the rights to ''Fahrenheit 9/11,'' bringing the movie a step closer to American theaters. MOORE WAS DESPERATE TO GET THIS MOVIE OUT THAT HE GOT SUCKERED. HE WAS BETTER OFF GETTING A BANK LOAN.

    @northmeister 15 лет назад

    True....lets start with passing a law thats says MAKE IT HERE TO SELL IT HERE...and export this rule to every nation on earth. Then take over the FED, with a true NATIONAL BANK, geared towards development and progress. This and a National Wage System, National Retirement System - would be a start in the right direction. Let the creative, inventive, enterprising make their fortunes on merit still, let all others make a decent Middle Class Income, and never accept slave-wages again.

  • @innovations116

    what? filmmakers work on budgets that are 90% of the time funds from private donors. it cost thousands a day to rent movie equipment.

  • @innovations116
    @innovations116 15 лет назад

    you know what it is?? they watch FOX and they learn how to take one word out of context and make it into a total fiction. Moore is average citizen and always will be because his family worked for a living an so did he. Flint Michigan is not Park Ave NYC. His mom was a secretary and his dad on the assembly line worker i think for GM. Michael always worked hard for his money. The money didnt work for him.

    DUDE BUT HE IS NOT USING CAPITALISM. FILM MAKING IS INDEPENDANT WORK THE DEFINITION: Capitalism . typically refers to an economic and social system in which the means of production (also known as capital) are privately controlled; NOW IF MICHAEL GOT $10,000 FOR ME AND $10K FROM YOU TO FUND A MOVIE, ARE WE CONTROLLING THE PRODUCTION? WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO,? TAKE OVER THE FILM PRODUCTION IF THE MOVIE FLOPS?" IN CAPITALISM, THE INVESTORS CONTROL THE OPERATION, IF THE MOVIE FLOPS, EVERYONE LOSES. T

  • @innovations116
    @innovations116 15 лет назад

    OK I SEE THE CONFUSION. YOU FEEL THAT INVESTORS CONTROL THE ENTIRE PROJECT, COMPANY ETC. THAT WOULD BE CAPITALISM. NO DOUBT IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES. BUT IN FILM MAKING THE INVESTORS DO IT FOR A PROFIT. THAT IS CORRECT TOO. BUT IT IS NOT CAPITALISM. LOOK AT WEBSTERS: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision...INVESTORS DO NOT OWN THE MOVIE RIGHTS. IT'S STILL MOORE'S. (CONTINUED)

    @prrolg 13 лет назад

    @TheStylogicalMap His perspective is immature and misleading. Moore does some of the very same things he condemns. He brings attention to valid issues then distorts the solutions by mischaracterizing the problems

  • @TheStylogicalMap
    @TheStylogicalMap 13 лет назад

    @prrolg I hear what you're saying and that analysis may in fact be closer to the truth than we know. So, if we accept that what you say is true, he manipulates media to prove his points, does that actually make his perspective less valid than if he hadn't done that? Though it is ethically reprehensible that Moore distorts the presentation of recent history in order to support his points, does it actually indicate that his points do not have meaning and relevance to our present plight?

  • @prrolg
    @prrolg 13 лет назад

    @TheStylogicalMap I think that Moore makes his documentaries by stating what he wants to say and then does anything he must to support his point. Another example, Moore used Charleton Heston in his Bowling for Columbine movie. And he used clever shots and edits to make it look like Heston cared only about gun rights and didn't care a hoot about a little girl who was shot in Detroit just prior to his appearance and the NRA convention. When in fact it is probable that Heston was never aware of it.
