Roger and Me

Watch Roger and Me

Michael Moore's first film. This bullshits about general motors closing their plant in his hometown, which put 30,000 peeps out of work. To be honest, I can't take this guy seriously. Film is interesting and shows how fucked up the town became as a result of high unemployment. It doesn't really speak to any practical solutions though. He talks to a lobbyist from GM who basically tells him its a reality of the free market. The movie can be described as 50% chasing people down and making them look like the bad guys and 50% talking to people who are poor and desperate. The most important part of this sort of shit is talking about practical solutions, which Moore doesn't do at all. The reason for this fat idiot's success is a talent for capturing the emotional side of real problems and real injustices.
