I hate you Michael Moore. I don't particularly like your movies (save Bowling for Columbine). You are an obtrusive documentarian and you alienate your audience and your country. However, please keep on doing what you're doing.

The films Michael Moore produces should not be considered documentaries. They are little different than Sacha Baron Cohen's characters and they work on a very similar level, probe the right people to get the answers you are looking for. Capitalism: A love story is little different. It does not look at facts and is not rooted in truth. It is a one-sided assault on industry that does not concede anything to the enemy. While it does propose an alternative, it does not give that alternative enough spotlight or distinction to let it sink in with the audience. It applies pathos to wondrous effect and hardly lets the audience assemble a conclusion by their own accord. In this respect I think the term documentarian and Michael Moore should be forever separated.

However, I appreciate what Michael Moore is doing and it took me until this movie to realize why. Michael Moore loves America. He hates what is taking place in America. But Michael Moore, unlike most of the other 300 million people in the Union, is doing something about it. Michael Moore is voicing his concern and his anger and his vision of American potential. He is an op-ed columnist with a camera and an annoying voice who is occasionally funny. That his movies are entirely subjective and not fit to be seen from an educational stance is not important. His movies are something else. They are rallying cries for widespread protest. Michael Moore wants to take back America and he wants our help.

In the very end of Capitalism Michael Moore makes the most poignant speech of his career. His voice falters and he says believably that he doesn't know how much longer he can make movies. He needs support to make a difference but his apathy is growing because change doesn't happen. He needs the audience to do more than just watch, he needs his message to leave the theater. How do we do that? It requires work. And it seems Michael Moore is the only one willing to do that work. To make a difference. Michael Moore is doing it by himself and he has been his entire career.

Imagine what the country would look like if there were a collective of Michael Moores.
