Watch Michael Moore's Latest Socialist Film the Way Socialism Intended
Sicko, Michael Moore’s new movie about America’s health care system (the one that glorifies the socialized medicine of Cuba) hasn’t even hit theaters yet, but already it’s been leaked to the internet.
Asked what he thought of that, Moore (ever one to play the part of the good socialist) says he doesn’t really mind. He’s fine with his movie being downloaded and shared all over the internet.
“I don’t agree with the copyright laws and I don’t have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people,” said Moore when asked about pirating. “I make these books and movies and TV shows because I want things to change, so the more people that get to see them the better, so I’m happy when that happens. I think information and art, ideas should be shared.”
Say Anything has called Moore's bluff and posted the film in its entirety, promising to remove it if and when Moore's financial backers demand he do so.
In the mean time, if you actually have the stomach for it, go ahead and subject yourself to it. The only way I was able to get through Fahrenheit 9/11 was to bring a notebook and document as much of the fact-twisting and logic-torturing I could keep up with. If that therapeutic exercise makes Sicko a little more palatable, give it a shot and send along your fact-checks and fallacies. With a few sharp-eyed, strong-stomached viewers, we should be able to put together a catalog of debunking - a Sicko companion reader of sorts - that calls out and lays bare each stretched truth and sleight of logic.
(Maybe that's premature - not having seen it, I have to concede that Sicko may be a completely responsible, fair, and accurate "documentary". I'm jumping to the conclusion that it's approximately the opposite, based solely on the entirety of Moore's existing body of work.)
