I recently saw the new Michael Moore documentary and I have to say it was a real eye opener. Has anyone here seen it yet? Any thoughts ?

yeah i saw this last night... very good i thought.. everyone in america should see it..
it dealt specifically with the issue of gun control... but more generally with with the issue of scaremongering by the politicians and media of america
very well done documentary very funny at times.. quite brutal at others

alot of Moore's stuff is quite funny... but...
i just get tired of the old cliches that he exploits that everything is always getting worse and worse. people have always lied. men have always oppressed others. some things get better, some things get worse. somebody always gets exploited.

Grr, i want to see this movie!! Why can't it be released in more theaters.
I highly recommend Roger & Me, which I did see, and quite liked. It's about the GM layoffs in Flint, Michigan, and the subsequent plight of the city as the company pulled out of town.

He was on Jonathon Ross the other day when an interesting point was raised:
Canadians apparently have the same number of firearms per person as America, but crimes involving firearms are substantially lower.

I loved this movie... I read his book: Stupid white men.. it was really good. Its amazing that such bigots and complete jerks can get into positions with such power. Sickens me. That reporter covering the story about the 6 year olds shooting was such a twat : " how does my hair look?", what an ass. I cant believe he want to Westons house! ahahha. Some parts were really sad. I liked that they interviewed manson. He really is a smart guy. I love his music.. What sucks is that: Its nice to know that people are being exposed to this in america.. people seeing this will help..... but serious changes are going to have to happen in america if we want to live in a world without fear and greed......
I am betting that this change wont take place in my life time...... or maybe it never will change..
which is kinda sad.
Because there are too many good people out there ...

is the purpose to get people to be in favor of gun control / harsher laws? or more of just getting them out of the criminals hands / education?
im still hoping to see it soon

The purpose of the movie is greater then the issue of gun controll..... a lot of issues are shown in the film.... and from my standpoint.... the root of most problems in america is fear........ and greed (money: in corperations, politics....). And america is an extremely corupt sociaty....
but this is entiry just my IMHO here.... Its not one of those films were its like... here is the issue.... .here is what you should think about it...... this movie leaves you leaving the theater thinking.....
to come up with you own conclusion
