phred2321 57 Posted June 15, 2016 I'd love to see more documentaries get discussed and this one, unfortunately, is as relevant today as it was when it was released. Michael Moore is certainly a controversial figure, but I think this film holds up and is worthy of debate Share this post Link to post
NathanGordon 1096 Posted June 15, 2016 I think Roger & Me would be a little less insufferable. Â Moore's work is important, but also loses some relevancy the further removed from its time it is. Roger & Me keeps the scope much smaller -- his hometown of Flint, Michigan, and its poor economy -- and manages to stay relatable today because of that. It's less a "big issue" film than his later documentaries. Â Bowling for Columbine has some parts that are straight up embarassing, like the entire sequence with Charlton Heston -- Moore placing the photo of the dead girl outside the house is one of the most fremdscham moments I've ever had. 2 Share this post Link to post
joel_rosenbaum 1269 Posted June 15, 2016 Bowling for Columbine has some parts that are straight up embarassing, You mean, like the interview with Marilyn Manson? Especially in light of what we know about Klebold and Harris today. Share this post Link to post
