Michael Moore - Greatest American Alive Today??

I would agree with this. A lot of people seem to think that the Charlton Heston interview was great because it finally showed Heston up, but the man was sick at the time of the interview, having been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, and was also ambushed at his own home. The questions Moore put to him in the interview were arguably unanswerable and quite difficult for a man that was not really in a healthy state of mind to be answering them.

Watch the way the piece is edited, the film was shot on one camera but in the Heston piece you would think they had 5 or 6 cameras shooting it.

If you want another example of Moores dishonesty look at the segment where he opened his bank account and got his gun. Idiots all over the world start going on about just how stupid America is but everyone with a brain knows that no bank will hand out guns over the counter. And sure enough if you look into it Moore staged the entire thing, in reality what happened was when you opened your account you could get a voucher which you took to a local gunshot and after all the checks had been done and your license was in order you were given a gun. Not exactly how it's shown in the film and if you didn't want a gun you got a voucher for something else. The gun Moore was handed, he brought along himself and the entire piece was prepared weeks in advance.

To call Moore a documentary filmmaker is an offence to people like Errol Morris and Alex Gibny.
