Michael Moore hates America


An American film-maker, Michael Wilson who basically disagrees with many of Michael Moore's political views and agenda makes his own documentary about, well, Michael Moore. Wilson tries to contact Moore throughout the shoot for an interview but fails to get him to commit to one.

Kinda reminiscent of Moore himself in his Oscar-winning documentary, 'Bowling for Columbine' when he went after K-Mart which sold the bullets to the teens behind the Columbine High School shootout and Charlton Heston aka Ben-Hur in, well, 'Ben-Hur' aka Moses in 'The Ten Commandments aka U.S.'s National Rifle Association president-and-shoo-in-mascot.

I believe Moore might be flawed at times but who isn't? Wilson reproaches Moore for using documentaries as a vehicle for Moore's own personal political agendas. In the trailer, you see supporters of Moore defending him but they sound like idiots. You'd see detractors of Moore speaking out against him eloquently.

Trailer for 'Michael Moore Hates America' which has a tagline of 'A Documentary That Tells The Truth About A Great Nation'.

Ah, I swear the irony is so thick you can slice it with a knife.
