[glow=blue,2,300]And I admire that! 
I guess I technically can't recommend it yet, since it doesn't get released until next Friday, June 25th, but I just saw an interview with Michael Moore by Matt Lauer and I am DEFINITELY going to go see this movie. ;D

This guy is AMAZING. I mean I have a lot of the same views he has, but I would NEVER in a million years be SOOOOOO public about them for fear of assassination based purely on my own personal beliefs, which is really sad, but I have to admit, I am afraid to say too much about what I believe out of fear. People kill people they don't agree with, which I think is stupid, but it happens.
Anyway, in his interview, Michael Moore said this is not a politically aimed movie. Yes, it has politics in it, everything does, but his main purpose in making this movie was 1. to make a documentary because he is a film maker and 2. if he can get that population of people who do not vote, out to vote this year, regardless of who they vote for, he will feel like he has made a difference. And I have to agree with him, he says, "People need to know the facts" and then he quoted, I think it was Lincoln but I could be wrong, who said something along the lines of "Give the people the facts and the Republican will be safe."
Overall, I am absolutely AMAZED at this man's dedication and determination to GET PEOPLE THE FACTS. For that alone, I feel he is an amazing person and definitely FAR BRAVER THAN I! And he's also a REALLY funny guy too! Haha!
