Michael Moore is a hack

Posted by sycor Apr 8 '10, 10:58

who manipulates the footage to say what he wants it to. The whole thing with Heston in Columbine is a perfect example. Cutting and splices speeches together to suite his own end.

I was surprised by how good Capitalism: A Love Story is. I thought Fahrenheit 9/11 would be his best work. -- nm - David Apr 8, 11:10 3
- I absolutely hate that FH911 is described as a documentary. It isn't. It's a rant. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 11:10 2
  - it's captures the sentiment of the moment pritty well IMO - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:13
  - those aren't necessarily two distinct categories. - Reagen Apr 8, 11:12
thats directoring for ya -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:02
I thought Columbine was one of his less-slanted films, fwiw :) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 8, 11:01
So... like pretty much every documentary filmmaker out there. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 8, 10:58 19
- some DO try for balance, you know. - Andie Apr 8, 11:11
- If he cuts and splices the stuff together; I think that's worse than a biased documentarian - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:02 15

    - If you say XYZ in a sentence; that's one thing; that's reality. - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:15 6
      - only if it's made in a way that makes you think it is said in the same speach - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:18 5
        
        Which if you've read this thread seems to be what happened. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:19 4
        
        nope you guy's noticed it so it's not even close to manipulation - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:23

        If you can see the clothes change, it's another sign of his stupidity - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:26 1
        
        perhaps heston said the exact same thing a 3 different locations AFTER the shooting and the only way to show it was - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:29
  - he's not a documentarian. -- nm - znufrii Apr 8, 11:09 2
    - Oh please, this is silly, of course he is. (nm) - musubi Apr 8, 11:21
    - He sure seemed happy enough to call himself one when he won awards. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:13
  - exactly. it's been a long time since I've seen it. but I remember noticing Heston's clothes change but the dialogue keeps running - sycor Apr 8, 11:06 3
    - to make the NRA and Heston look worse - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:09 2
      - Sure it is. In the face of a tragedy, if you play comments from before it; that paint the person speaking as callous; that's worse. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:12 1
        
        you don't get it - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:16

- basically. lol -- nm - sycor Apr 8, 10:59
