A very good movie

First of all, I won't deny it, I'm big fan of Michael Moore and therefore I was really eager to check this flick. Well, he didn't disappoint me with this picture, that’s for sure. Basically, even though I was expecting most of it, it was still just heartbreaking to see all those people in the US not able to get proper health insurance (shouldn’t it be a basic human right?). The only main issue I had is when Moore talks about the other health care systems like for example in Europa, he made them seem perfect. In fact, even though the situation is much better than in the US, it is far from perfect. A part from that, it is a shocking movie about the supposed greatest super power which suddenly look like a third world country. I especially loved to see that Cuba, land of the devil communism, has a capable health system much better than in the US. Sure, there is a lot of manipulation here but there is no such thing as a completely straightforward documentary and I just really dig Moore’s point of view. To conclude, I thought it was a fascinating documentary and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Michael Moore’s work.
