Sicko

This might hurt a little.

Following on the heels of his Palme d'Or winning Fahrenheit 9/11 and his Oscar winning film Bowling for Columbine, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities.

Horrifying, heart-breaking, often hilarious - Moore’s latest shock doc is a potent polemic. - moviemonger

Sicko is a return to ‘TV Nation’/Roger and Me era Michael Moore, when he was a rabble rouser who used to stand up for the little guy and tackled big issues with humor and wit instead of overbearing doom and gloom voice-overs, end of the world music, and other manipulative movie magic. Maybe he learned his lesson after the divisive reactions to Fahrenheit 9/11, or maybe this material simply lends itself more to an evenhanded style. Whatever the reason, for Sicko Moore keeps the dirty tricks to a minimum and instead states his case for desperately needed healthcare reform by making his movie about me and about you. Unlike his previous films this is not a movie of anger and outrage as much as it is disappointment and dismay, in which Moore serves as your escort through the story of a system gone bad and a nation mired in self-imposed suffering. Sicko is not a movie about the 50 million Americans walking around without health insurance. Sicko is a movie about the other 250 million of us who have insurance, but are just as well and truly screwed.Amidst all the facts and anecdotes Sicko manages to tell the engaging, moving, and sometimes hilarious story of a country and a people in crisis. The reason it works so well is that first and foremost it’s about you. It’s impossible not to relate to, since it’s a movie about the common fears we all face. Sicko is being billed as Michael Moore’s expose of the healthcare industry, but in a much broader sense it’s the story of how we as a people have lost control over our own way of life. It isn’t an unbiased documentary, it’s more of a two-hour positioning statement, but it states its point of view in a straightforward and honest way while still cutting right to the emotional core of the problem. Sicko is a desperately important film, one which is less concerned with telling you who to vote for than it is with simply getting you to wake up, see through the bullshit, and step out of line.

When I saw this movie in theaters it was the only time I saw everyone after give a standing ovation to a movie! It is an eye opening movie that I think people should want to see. Want to be educated and informed and get the ball rolling on asking your own questions about what is really going on, then watch this. I loved the comparisons of the US and European health care systems, its amazing the difference! Very interesting, informative and I want to watch it again!

A sick health system - AandW

Michael Moore is back at it. Ruffling feathers. This time he takes on the American health system. The only pay as you go health system the western world. It's a sad state of affairs. So corrupt. It just goes to show you how loudly the dollars talk in the US. Letting easily curable people die. Having the lowest life expectancy and the highest infant mortality. When will the people revolt? Oh yeah, they wont, because they don't want their taxes to go up.
