This is essentially a pay per view ted talk with very poor sound quality. Can it really be referred to as a movie--even if you ignore the sound quality (e.g. obvious dubbed voice over), given its only just over an hour? That is the equivalent of an HBO special. Someone must have changed the definition of film or something although Itunes categorized it as a TV show so I am not alone in my confusion.
As for the content, Moore as usual is an engaging speaker, even if you don't agree with the words escaping his mouth his schtick catches and holds your attention. In this iteration, he employs some rather tired anecdotes to poke fun at liberals, conservatives, millennials, boomers, Latin Americans, muslims etc. in an effort to build some common ground. Judging from the audience shots, it doesn't seem to work with many other than the choir . The expressions of some of the audience members is downright chilling at times. One star for capturing the audience's response fairly honestly throughout the performance.
If you want a political analysis--Per usual, Moore ignores the facts and plays to the emotions in an effort to bolster the neoliberals over the finish line in the presidential election. The tone essentially morphs into a Clinton love letter. He rehashes some of the commentary in Sicko for this film to paint clinton as a victim and fighter.
Forget that there hasn't been a hawkish policy that clinton hasn't embraced, a trickle down deregulation policy that she hasn't supported, ignore the fit she had when confronted by code pink in 2003 about her support for the iraq war, that she was the signatory on the alberta clipper in 2009 while in the state department. Nope, forget all the behavior we've witnessed in the past which clearly indicates over the years since Wellesley, she has become a cynical, power hungry, self serving woman who has long since forgotten why she ever entered public life. Nope, Moore pleads that we cling to the hope she may be a Trojan horse. A proverbial St. Francis biding time.
The entire tone of the movie is more akin to the Obama marketing scheme without the finesse and eye catching artwork.
I am still puzzling over why there is a nuclear warhead on the stage. Are we to fear Trump's finger on the trigger or is it there to convince us Clinton has the huztpah to use it.....
ETA: save ur dough & watch it on U tube or better yet watch Moore in Talks at Google from jan. 2016 because he pretty much says everything in that interview that he does in this film.
