The bank sequence at the beginning of the film was edited as if Moore simply walked into a bank, filled out paper work, and walked out with a gun. That simply wasn't the case. Moore's editing of Charlton Heston's speech in Colorado was absolutely unjustified.
If you read Heston's speech transcript, he actually serves up some good points. Moore edited those out unfairly. But Moore let's the people do the talking for the most part in his latest documentary, which I consider to be his most mature and disciplined.
Of course, there's the typical Moore narration throughout the film, with quips of humor and cutting ironies. But I don't think Moore is shoving anything down our throats, he's merely confirming the obvious: That a health care system, whose primary motivation is financial profit, is inhumane and inexcusable. I felt that the faith I had started to lose in Michael Moore was renewed with and I hope some of the bridges he burned with his previously polarizing films are rebuilt by those who would normally oppose Moore's ideology, or by politicians who might be afraid to have their names associated with anything Moore-esque.
attempts to reach across the aisle and unite all of us as a body politic. Hopefully, his previous reaching across the aisle to slap some sense into people doesn't turn them away from this very important, if not historically essential, film. And don't worry Michael, I plan on actually going to the theater to see it again.
You'll get my eight dollars. The bank sequence at the beginning of the film was edited as if Moore simply walked into a bank, filled out paper work, and walked out with a gun.
