Micheal Moore makes a JFK assassination movie

Have you ever seen a Moore film? He's not a lunatic trying to connect red strings, he's a filmmaker who edits and manipulates his movies to gain emotional responses to the events on camera and a pro-working class angle.


You literally opened this thread asking how bad it will be and characterized Moore as a cartoon character.

The movie will likely do what Moore does; capture the spirit of the story. It won't be factual, and it will be somewhat convoluted, but if Moore is good at one thing, it's that he can create a narrative that captures the spirit of the story, and if a conspiracy is presented, it won't be a tin foil hat lunatic, it'll be a (bias depending on Moore's personal beliefs) articulate and coherent presentation tied heavily to the emotional shock of the assassination. We'll possibly see some Northwoods stuff tied to a Business Plot, but unlike Oliver Stone, Moore is smart enough to not straight up disprove himself in his own film.


You have a point, it might well not be as convoluted as all that.
 
He did that in every other movie he made, why not that one?

No, it would be Oswald was a patsy while JFK was killed by a combination of the CIA, Big Business (Particularly Big Oil), the US Military and whoever else Moore could drag in. I wouldn't be surprised if he would have "The heroic Oswald was actually trying to save JFK before he was made a patsy" idea.

I never said he was a character from South Park but that is just standard JFK conspiracy theory. They drag in everyone and their mother. It is amazing they had room for the general public with all the assassins out there. :rolleyes:

Why? He is a lying , manipulative scoundrel who calls his propaganda films documentaries.

I wouldn't have a problem with him if he called his films "comedy" but he calls them "documentaries" and as documentaries they rank their with "Triumph of Will".

Mainly that he is so "over the top" in his lying and gets people in trouble over his lying. For all his supposed concern for "The common man" he doesn't seem to consider the fact when he manipulates low ranking employees to make themselves and their employers look stupid might jeopardize their jobs.

Jesus christ...

While I'm not really a fan of Moore, this is a little much. Michael Moore isn't a man who wears tinfoil hats and creates convoluted conspiracies about some kind of New World Order. Nor is he a propagandist bent on destroying our way of life. No, he's just a filmmaker, one who doesn't use all the facts, and puts spin to his films, but still, he's just a filmmaker.

There is no need to make a thread to shit on him.
 
I like Michael Moore. :)

What I remember about Sicko was that these were persons and families who did have health insurance, but then the insurance companies use transparent, lie-to-face excuses not to follow through and provide coverage.

In short, stories which need to be told.

Considering his very questionable editing it is indeed questionable they were doing so. I am not saying insurance companies are incapable of lying but he is hardly a credible source of information on anything. He may be showing the truth in those instances , it is also possible that it was out and out edit fakery. THAT is one of the problems. You can count on nothing he shows or says because he is infamous for editing things in such a way as to appear quite different from reality.

For example in his 9/11 film he questions various congressmen and senators who voted in favor of intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq on whether they have offspring in the military and if they give an affirmative answer he cuts that out making it look like they don't. That is just wrong! If he just showed those who didn't have offspring in the military and not the other ones that would have been merely slanted and biased not out and out lies.

Fahrenheit 9/11 puts him firmly in the tin foil hat brigade.

Kind of seems more like "Look at what he could have done had he lived" post.
He hasn't given any indication that he does. Typically people who believe in conspiracy theories are incredibly vocal about it, and given that Moore normally shows all of the subtlety and tact of a sledgehammer I doubt he would keep silent if he thought the government/right-wing billionaires had killed a President.
That's kind of what I suspected.
