I'm a fan of Michael Moore's work or I have been up till this little turd.
It was hard going, not because the content was difficult to understand, but because it was delivered badly, was poorly written and to be honest, it was really boring in parts. People actually were expected to pay to be exposed to what is essentially Moore's terrified apologist endorsement of Clinton over Trump. The general message was 'you have 2 options, and if you don't vote for Clinton you're going to hell'.
I expected a lot more from this guy who has understood and challenged some big players in his time, but obviously not up for the challenge of tackling the broken electoral system that presented the American voting public with two viable yet nonviable choices, and that's it.
No mention of the broken undercurrent to the state of the country, no mention of nothing's going to get better, just we don't want it to get worse.
This movie was insulting to the intelligence of the viewer in that it said the choice was voting for trump and if you were scared of that then you should accept Clinton, vote for her and then shut up and keep your head down lie a good little minion.
Greatest country in the world? Who the hell says that? Not people from a healthy country that's for sure.
The jokes were flat, and embarrassing, he didn't address why Trump is there and what people really see in him. Apparently subscribing to the 50% of voters are dumb philosophy, and that's a mistake.
There are reasons things are how they are and insulting an audience into doing what you tell them to isn't a solution to that. I've no idea why Moore thought it would be. This has hurt his brand and credibility more than any movie he's done in his career, and it hasn't achieve a single good thing, and it so could have. Moore really doesn't know what he's dealing with here and it shows.
The end result is Moore telling us he understands this stuff so much better than us, and we should just trust him and ignore the scary people hiding behind the curtains, except he gives us no indication that he really does understand things any better than the rest of us, so it ends up being exactly what it is, a Clinton campaign endorsement, just do what I say, don't think, don't feel, don't look any further. Fail.
