Invasion without firing a single shot...
“Where to Invade Next” is Michael Moore’s one-man excursion around the world to find countries that have great social programs for their citizens. As he states at the outset, the countries he will visit have their problems but he’s there to highlight the good, not the bad. His goal: to take the best ideas back to America.<br /><br />He begins in Italy by interviewing a young couple who tell him about the six-week paid vacations provided by their employer, enabling them to travel, relax, and enjoy family time. They are stunned to learn that the typical vacation for an American is two weeks, and that there is no guarantee whatsoever of vacation time. They simply cannot fathom this.<br /><br />In France, he visits a middle-school cafeteria where kids are served freshly cooked meals worthy of a gourmet. He says the French manage to feed the kids nutritious meals at a fraction of the cost in America’s schools. Shown a photo of a typical American school lunch, the kids’ faces register both dismay and disgust.<br /><br />In Slovenia, Moore learns that college tuition is free. In Norway, a prison looks more like a dormitory, with private bathrooms, TVs, and no uniforms. Tunisia, a Muslim country, provides government-subsidized abortions. Germany is open about its tarnished history and makes it part of the required school curriculum rather than pretending the Nazi regime never existed or making excuses for it. Finland boasts the world’s top educational system, but its students get no homework, have more recess, and take no standardized tests. In Portugal, recreational drugs are not against the law.<br /><br />A major segment of the film focuses on the role of women in politics, with Moore speculating that there might be fewer wars if women were in control. He interviews Vigdis Finnbogadottir, president of Iceland from 1980 to 1996, the first woman in the world to become head of state in a national election.<br /><br />Moore lugs around an American flag and each time he encounters an idea worth importing to the United States, he playfully plants the flag and declares that he is taking the idea back home. Late in the film, he reveals that many of the programs and policies in force in the nations he visited had their genesis in America but, over time, were either abandoned or “improved.” In other words, America had these ideas first.<br /><br />The film doesn’t have the edginess of some of Moore’s earlier documentaries, or their serious undertone. This is Moore-lite — an interesting travelogue offering some facts mostly about European nations (Tunisia is the exception) that should make American politicians ashamed of themselves. Moore is the laid-back, rumpled narrator who visits average citizens, government workers, employers, and bureaucrats, asking questions and feigning surprise and astonishment as he learns how humane and sensible many of their countries' programs and policies are.<br /><br />The film lacks a cohesive feel, since occasionally Moore goes off on tangents such as showcasing a group of female Norwegian CEOs or walking beside a remnant of the Berlin wall, now crumbling and pitted with holes, reminding us how it was eventually brought down by people willing to protest. It seems there could be two different movies here. The film starts well, hopping from one country to another at a brisk pace, but tends to get mired later in an overload of content. Some pruning would have improved the movie.<br /><br />Moore has been known to be aggressive, abrasive, and downright obnoxious in his quest for exciting cinematic moments, but here he is uncharacteristically calm and polite as he leisurely interviews folks, provides on-screen narration to tie segments together, and draws conclusions from his “research.” He is one of the few documentary directors who can get financing, make films, and get them shown theatrically. Whether you agree with his politics or not, he is an astute director with an observant eye. This, combined with his gentle sense of irony, makes for a winning combination in “Where to Invade Next.” The film is rated R.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the widescreen Blu-ray release.
