Responses for Ideas and Expressions

Michael Moore movies have all caused seismic shifts in our awareness and understanding of the current world dominated by the capitalist American society, from his blockbuster debut “Roger & Me” on the corporate greed and his deteriorating Ford hometown, Flint, to Academy Award-winning “Bowling for Columbine”, on school-shootings and the American society, to anti-war movie “Fahrenheit 9/11”, which reported the corruption of the George W. Bush administration going to the Iraq War, to “SiCKO” on the endemic American healthcare system, to “Capitalism: A Love Story”, which proved capitalism is a sin, to “Fahrenheit 11/9” about the malaise of a capitalist society, to “Where to Invade Next”, about the countries thriving with socialist ideas, to the latest “The Planet of the Humans”, which showed the deception of renewable energies and corruption of the leaders of the environmental movements. But I think “Roger & Me” is the most significant because it changed the concept of documentary. It never bored the audience with a textbook-like teaching. In other words, it made documentaries an entertainment. It also started a style in which the director goes to see VIPs without appointment or any preparation, which gave the film thrills and reality. These new stiles changed the way documentaries are made forever. (206 words)
