Michael Moore Hates America
Michael Moore Hates America is a documentary film directed by Mike Wilson that criticizes the work of film director Michael Moore.
The film and its poster are patterned after Moores film Roger amp Me, during which Moore attempts to chase down Roger Bonham Smith for an interview. In this case, Wilson seeks an interview with Moore. Wilson also adopts other aspects of Moores style in his efforts at satirizing Moore. For instance, Wilson interviews a mix of Americans across the country and wellknown figures like conservatives Dinesh DSouza, David Horowitz and Andrew Breitbart, liberal Albert Maysles and fellow libertarians such as Penn Jillette and Tim Slagle. Wilson revisits some of Moores shooting locations and subjects from Roger amp Me and Bowling for Columbine, and attempts to discredit many aspects of Moores films.Wilsons main criticism is that Moore misrepresents the truth by staging events and deftly cutting sequences to distort the truth. As an example of Moore staging events, Michael Wilson offers the scene in Bowling for Columbine where Michael Moore gets a gun on opening a bank account. An interview with the bank employees suggests that Michael Moore had arranged for the gun to be delivered to the bank ahead of time so he could walk outside with it immediately after opening the bank account. To show Moore uses deceptive editing, Michael Wilson offers the scenes in Bowling for Columbine of NRA president Charlton Heston speaking. The scenes are cut together from different speeches however, in the film they may be construed to be from one speech given shortly after the Columbine shooting at a meeting in Denver. ........
