Un film à la Michael Moore... Sur Michael Moore.
Pas besoin de chercher très loin pour comprendre que ce documentaire soi-disant objectif n'est rien d'autre qu'une cible directement pointée sur la tête de Moore lui-même. Si les réalisateurs se disent éclairés et lucides, ils ne tardent pas à se contredire en bombardant le spectateur d'insultes anti-Moore et de témoignages qui ne tiennent pas la route. Entre autre, la première heure se laisse constituer de ''Michael Moore est un menteur!'', témoignages récoltés dans la rue par des détracteurs qui ne le connaissent pas. Toutefois, la dernière demie-heure, bien que dans la même veine, soulève tout de même des points intéressants et, enfin, fournit quelques preuves à l'appui pour appuyer son propos.
Je respecte grandement le travail de Moore, même si je ne respecte pas toujours les manières qu'il utilise pour y parvenir, mais il est intéressant de voir à quel point la globalité de son oeuvre provoque des conservateurs qui n'hésitent pas à entrer dans le même jeu que lui pour tenter de le discréditer.
Toutefois, c'est sans grand succès... Qu'est-ce qui est le plus populaire? Manufacturing Dissent ou Fahrenheit 9/11? -

'Dissent' exposes Michael Moore's credibility issues as a documentary filmmaker. I believe that Moore is probably as bad as they say he is. Unfortunately this movie isn't as polished or as interesting as Moore's films.

MCT:April 3, 2008This film turns the tables on Micheal Moore, and what he has done in his own films. This time, filmmakers who are pursuing him are forced to leave a public venue in which he is speaking. Hmmm.

MCT:January 11, 2008All in all, the movie seems to want to portray Michael Moore as a meglomaniac or in some sort of a bad light. The problem is that we already know that he's not perfect. I've seen Michael Moore's movies and he's horribly dressed, not the most attractive person, and isn't even all that charismatic. I like Moore's movies because they're entertaining. This movie appears to be a documentary about Michael Moore. The problem is that Michael Moore is essentially a very boring person to have a documentary about. I found the narrative to well written and fair and unbiased like how documentaries are supposed to be, but, I found the content sleepworthy at best.

um dos princípios do jornalismo é a imparcialidade, que só pode ser real quando há o confronto de diferentes opiniões e visões. esse doc é uma oportunidade de olhar mais friamente para a obra de michael moore a partir de uma visão que não é a usual e que, por isso, propicia uma análise.
porém, um "defeito" que ele apresenta é documentar michael moore do mesmo modo que ele o faria, inclusive usando de métodos de persuasão e de uma retórica também extremamente maniqueísta. -

Very good documentary. It raises a lot of issues that many Michael Moore fans/supporters should consider before they take MM seriously next time.

MCT:December 23, 2007After seeing the terrible Farenhype 911 doc that was clearly anit-Moore, but did have a few interesting things to say I had no intention of ever watching this one. However, sitting on a plane and not wanting to watch a fictional movie where I'm just not going to get to pay as much attention to as I'd like to, I chose this one. And much to my surprise, even though the video system went down, I went out and rented it the next day to finish it because I found it pretty interesting. Not the best doc ever made, more like the TV special I think it was intended as, this is a great look into Moore's manipulation of facts and media to make himself into what he is today. Politics aside, it's an interesting look at a self made celebrity and the lengths he will go to retain that. Also, it's truly scary watching his brainwashed followers AKA young democrats. Eg:
Moore: Look at those Republicans over there!
Crowd: BoooooO!
Moore: No, let's not boo them. Unlike them we like to hear other opinions!
Crowd: Yaaaaay.
Yikes! I definitely lean more to the left (maybe it's my shoes), but a lot of Moore's speeches remind me of Bob Roberts. I remember feeling tricked when I found out about the untruths in his documentaries, I always considered myself not to follow people blindly, but I seriously feel kinda stupid for buying some of the crap he was dishing out. Did I really think a bank would just hand someone a gun? What the hell is wrong with me? Anyway, because of Moore I now question all documentaries more than I should and take everything said in any "editorial" documentary with a grain of salt, because not only is the view possibly one-sided, but now it could just be a downright lie. -

Here's a real documentary: no street theatre, no one-sided implications, no twisted editing; just documenting a man, his past, his fame, his friends, and his bodyguards on film.

Not the movie Moore wants you to see, but probably the movie you need to see if you want to keep him in a balanced viewpoint.
