Where to Invade Next - DVD

This time Micheal Moore is less confrontational and more informational. Nice change of pace and tone. Seems less controversial and more hopeful. I really enjoyed this movie, it was not what I was expecting and was pleasantly surprised.

I first saw this movie in the theater and was very moved and impressed by it because Moore focuses on the key issues in our country today in an honest and open way. He was able to shine a light on these problems in a non-defensive and humorous, at times, manner that makes it easier for us to look at ourselves more honestly. To those who hold opposing views of how best to improve this country, he reminds us through examples that a fundamental principle of democracy intends that no one person or group unilaterally determines how things will be done for the whole. It's a shared responsibility that involves compromise. True compromise means everyone gives up something in negotiating the solution(s). When negotiations are done in good faith on all sides, there is no winner or loser. Moore tries to illuminate areas in which we've ignored the needs of certain groups consistently not allowing them to participate equally in the decision-making process, and how that heavily contributes to the quality of life we are all experiencing today. I would recommend watching it with an open mind...what have you got to lose!

Michael Moore is a pretty divisive figure, even among people who generally agree with him, because he often comes across as smug, or preachy, or whathaveyou. For those who have seen his other films, you may notice that, especially in the last few, Michael Moore had gotten rather cynical and angry. But Mike's latest documentary, Where to Invade Next, shows a much lighter, and hopeful Moore. With optimism and humor, this movie and its director/narrator paint a vivid picture of what we as Americans could do and could be, if we could just get our collective head out of our rear. Like the rest of Moore's films, this is much more likely to appeal to liberals than to conservatives, but I would say that this movie is less divisive along political lines than his usual fare.

Great movie, really puts things in perspective to what systems other countries use and how it positively effects their economy. Ultimately I was left with anger and resentment wishing that I could move to another country, lol. But I found it to be very enlightening, informative and educational while giving a great all around perspective about what we consider the american dream that other countries have successfully implemented and how for some reason we (the u.s) can't seem to deliver for some reason. I would definitely recommend this film. I personally think the best Michael Moore film in a loooong time.

"Where to Invade Next " is not only educational and hilarious,it is the best hour and a half I have spent in months.I have seen all of Michael's films. Everyone should see this documentary. In these days before the election, he has found ideas from around the world that the USA needs to incorporate. I want to see our politicians and educators adopt them. Best Buy was the only place I could find it.
