I honestly can't tell if your defending or attacking Moore.
I like his work, but I've become less enamored with his voice the more he's come out in front of the camera.
Well, I'm doing both.
I need to see more modern work. I'm positive on the films I've seen. Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine, and Sicko work well because I think he's better when honing in on an issue. I loved F9/11 just for being big and trying to wake everyone up about the disaster in the WH in Bush (someone I think was a bigger negative than Trump was, though obviously they were both disastrous for our country).
I just don't know where he fits in, so far as major and minor political movements in America go right now. He's good with his agitprop, but I don't know to what ends he is ultimately working. His oeuvre consists of single-issue advocacy and extensive hit jobs. I need to see Capitalism to really put my finger on it, so that's probably happening sooner than later.
Just to the point on "balance" I see within this thread: I don't see the value. Tell the truth. The truth doesn't have multiple sides, just one. The people on the other side of the truth are liars (or maybe just ignorant with a misunderstanding, but end up tools for the liars anyway if they never enlighten themselves).
