Freep Review: "Michael Moore Hates America" (Dallas Premiere)

I just came from the premiere of Michael Wilson's "Michael Moore Hates America."

Michael Wilson was present at this film, and I had the pleasure of speaking with Jonathon Boyd Hunt, a man whose recent book exposes the methods of American-hating BBC.

Wilson's film is a honest investigation into the filmmaking practices of Michael Moore. In trying to get an interview with Moore, Wilson reaffirms his belief that America is a wonderful country, full of good, decent, hard-working people who are just trying to make things better for their children and their country. While he catches himself at times employing the sames methods as Moore, Wilson discovers that making a documentary has serious ethical hurdles that must be carefully overcome in order to present a fair inventory of facts. He also shows to the world how Michael Moore merely sidesteps those very obstacles.

In the showing in which I was present, the audience broke into laughter and applause throughout the film and Michael Moore was zinged with charge after damaging charge- that he outright lied during the making of "Bowling for Columbine," that he maliciously deceived the American people in "Fahrenheit 9/11," and callously dismissed his fictional hometown of Flint, MI, instead running off to live the good life in New York City.

In trying to land the elusive interview with Michael Moore, Wilson discovers that Americans are not the desperate, selfish, narcissistic people portrayed in Moore's films.

After the show, he had a Q&A session. When he called on me, I thanked him for making such a positive film about America, and asked what he thought about the modern media's bias and how that has affected their responsibilities to the American people. He joked about my convoluted quetion, saying "Dude, let's go have a beer."

I'll take you up on that beer if you ever get back to Dallas, Mr. Wilson. But I think after this outstanding documentary, you are going to be quite busy for the next few months.
