Review of Where to Invade Next (2015) by Beecee — 13 Mar 2016
This movie is a change of pace for Michael Moore, with a much more optimistic point of view. An improvement over his last two films, this film starts with a conceit that he is authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to visit other countries and take the good ideas they have to bring back to America.
MM visits nine countries in total, some of them expected (France and Norway) and some not expected at all (like Slovenia and Tunisia). I found myself wanting to know more about some things, like exactly how the Finnish educational system works.
I also wanted to visit the French elementary school that serves these wonderful gourmet meals! (In one of the funniest scenes of the film, MM shows students what a typical American school lunch looks like.
) The final point - most of these countries got the idea for their innovations from the U.S. This film manages to be both entertaining and thought provoking.
