Movies That Make You Grit Your Teeth
This weekend we rented Michael Moore’s “Roger & Me” and Alexandra Pelosi’s “Travels With George.” Both were frustrating documentaries.
I don’t know what was worse in Moore’s film: watching the deterioration of Flint, MI or having to relive the 80’s. I loved how this film could have been made last week–American corporations outsourcing jobs to foreign countries so they can pay workers less and not have to worry about pesky things like labor laws or safe work environments. Nice to see that while hairstyles and music change, same things stay the same.
“Travels With George” was almost entirely uninteresting. It’s somewhat sickening to see how the media really operate in a complete pack mentality without a hint of objectivity, but Ms. Pelosi was more interested in inserting herself into every frame of the documentary and appearing cute and whimsical that making a piece with any sort of substance. I also love how the idiots on Amazon say this movie is good despite Pelosi being liberal–this film was just short of saying “Bush is really a great, great guy.” Some liberal media.
