So as we reported earlier this week, Michael Moore’s latest documentary Sicko was leaked onto the internet. Not a good thing by any stretch of the imagination. But now that it is released (an almost perfect copy) on the net, the Weinstein company has decided it is better to get it out there now than later when everyone has scored themselves a free copy.
The Weinstein company is opening the movie to the whole of New York and selected theaters where Moore’s movies have gone well around the US. The critics are eating this movie up and loving every bit of it, RT is giving it a 90% which is damn well awesome.
The second Moore news item is something I like about Moore. He follows up on his movies, he doesn’t sit back eating more food and doing that sort of shit, he gets out there and follow up on what he says in his documentaries. In the case of Sicko he recently held a standing only press conference on how bad the health system is and how some bill could change it all.
Moore says that if they vote yes for a bill to put the whole health system under government care and get rid of health giants trying to maximize profits the health system will be a better place. Which is definitely true, Australia has a public health care system and it is free when we get hurt, unless you go private which the public health care system still look after you.
I wanna see Moore’s film change the US health care system, I wanna see film sway the whole government into changing it’s mind. 2 thumbs up to our fat man Moore and I hope he changes the whole US health system from one powerful movie.
