Michael Moore is at it again...


Michael Moore’s controversy check list:



Flint Michigan’s depression – Pets or Meat: The Return to Flint (1992)

Gunfire culture – Bowling for Columbine (2002)

The Bush Administration – Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)

√ The American economic crisis – Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)


Michael Moore is the king of controversial documentaries. He doesn’t care who he offends, who he exploits, and who he tramples over to give his viewers the truth about whatever has been bugging him.


This time around, with his newest documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story, Moore continues to explore the impact of corporate dominance upon the every day American citizen.


For a complete summary of the movie, visit www.imdb.com/title/tt1232207/plotsummary.


Before his movie was even released, Moore was suffering for his past ridicule of General Motors, from his ’92 movie Pets or Meat: The Return to Flint. Over 10 years ago, Moore explored his hometown of Flint, Michigan and exploited the GM automotive plant for their role in the depression that the town is now facing.


Present day, Moore was banned from his own screening of his 2009 movie, as all four of the theatres in which the screening took place are owned by GM. The screenings were able to take place, but Moore was not able to enter the buildings in which they occurred.


Thus far, Moore's newest film has not circulated as much controversy as his previous films, but give it time... we are talking about Michael Moore, after all.
