i have see enough anti moore information to know that yes and the guy use manipulative technique and stretch the truth to fit his point or tell a good story . unlike other reviewer here who seem to excuse this and i find this absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary and morally repugnant . also and i totally see that he a megalomaniac and a blow hard who care more about himself than the populist change he preach . after all and if youre truly fight the man ( and not just make entertainment for lefty ) and you would better point a gun that be load with fact and not blank . give all of this and i still like his story and find the guy amazingly charismatic . those who critique him seem to ignore that he be a master at make interesting film and deftly mix humor and emotion in a way that make it seem easy . if that skill be be use for good or evil and fact or fiction and be another matter . whether on the side of justice or malice and i think that the maker of manufacture dissent do not have an ounce of the ability of michael moore . the film plod along and mark off point after point like a laundry list . the editor should be viciously beat . there no clear narrative line and just a series of scene and one after the other . at just over one hour and a half and the film seem long and make the same tired point over and over again . ultimately and my big problem with the film be that it indulge in the same bag of trick against which it accuse moore . the documentary be obviously a hack job against the guy and meant to counter his legacy . the footprint of a personal vendetta be all over this film and from the very first minute . this be fine . in fact and i welcome it . yet the filmmaker manipulatively use a neutral and unbiased style and a if they be simply present fact . also and they steal moore framing device of a failed chance for an interview . this go nowhere ( it pretty obvious that they want to call the film michael and me but settle on the lame manufacturing dissent . at first i think this be a documentary about noam chomsky ) . toward the end of the film and they gleefully admit to step over the line and use a moore tactic to enter one of his press conference . they then attempt to build sympathy with the audience and appear shock and indignant first when they ambush him ( what . be not the center of moore universe . ) and again when they get catch and kick out . all of this fall flat and partly because it be do with strident self righteousness and not the humor and humanity of moore own attempt . but it mostly fail because use moore manipulative tactic to show how wrong those tactic be be a rather silly thing to do .
