Moore does it once again...and I LOVED it once again. Moore's legitimacy just seems to build with every project and that is completely evident in this film. His points are valid, yet many Americans seemed opposed to him. It is because they genuinely do not believe what he is saying, or is it because Moore's statements are so painfully true that no one wants to believe him. Yet the facts just cannot lie and this is what is so appealing about Moore. He is able to craft his argument is such a way that it is extremely truthful to the viewer, yet the difficult to comprehend because of its underlying meaning. For example, America's health care program is in total shambles, yet many still maintain the beliefs that nothing can be done about this problem. So is it that we cannot do anything, or are just to lazy to really stand up and fight for basic, civil rights.
Moore's intricate use of comparing other country's medical programs to America's health care, really makes his argument take hold. All Americans, whether we like to think it or not, believe that they undoubtedly live in the best nation ever. Moore is not arguing this, but instead is making the point that if this is true, then shouldn't our most basic health care reflect this. Americans should expect only the best from our physicians and drug companies, and therefore should demand some sort of change in the current health care system.
I realized how bias Moore is in all of his films. Although it is hard to watch, I am able to now understand his techniques much more and what they really mean.
