Review of Where to Invade Next (2015) by Melody R — 13 Feb 2016
This is comedy in the saddest form because the excellent quality of life experienced in the countries Michael Moore "invaded" got their ideas from none other than America! It shows how our values here in America are words only as opposed to putting those words into action. Who wouldn't want a world where all people are respected, where American taboos work in concert with a fulfilled life in other countries (e.g., instead of preventing sex through abstinence as espoused here in America, to praising the beauty of the sexual experience in other countries, resulting in America having the highest rate of teen pregnancies), and that the quality of life depends on respect for others. This movie shows how the American treatment of your neighbors, the drug crises, and the criminal justice system is incredibly done wrong in our country! Yet, the "invaded" countries show just how our original values have created success in their countries and decline in our country where greed and self-success prevails. Michael Moore has shown humor in his depictions, but it leaves me, as an American, sad for what we've become as a nation. I urge everyone to see this movie! I now have a greater respect for the Bernie Sanders campaign, because his Political Revolution is truly what we need in America! I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton is the best candidate, because she would be able to get things accomplished in our CURRENT political system, but is that what we.
Want? Not me . . . so I'm in a quandary as to where my vote will go in 2016!
