I wonder how much active contempt Michael Moore has for his audiences?
The darling of the left is poised to release another of his faux documentaries, which will, no doubt, be lapped up in much the same way his previous offerings of pabulum have been:
Capitalism is evil. That is the conclusion U.S. documentary maker Michael Moore comes to in his latest movie "Capitalism: A Love Story," which premieres at the Venice film festival Sunday.
Blending his trademark humor with tragic individual stories, archive footage and publicity stunts, the 55-year-old launches an all out attack on the capitalist system, arguing that it benefits the rich and condemns millions to poverty.
So is Michael Moore going to be showing this movie for free?
Don't bet on it.
The fat rich "documentarian" is going to get even fatter and richer by trashing the very system that brought him there. And the fact that "Capitalism: A Love Story" is made by THE Big Documentarian means it will probably garner all of the Oscar buzz this year which, in turn, means that any serious small documentarian who makes a movie, no matter how good, will be passed over for Oscar contention thus condemned to poverty and obscurity.
This is hypocrisy his addle-brained worshippers will never put together.
I have no doubts, however that a cynic like Michael Moore is very much aware of this hypocrisy, and he's laughing all the way to the bank. Suckers.
