Moore's documentary is politically polarizing. Conservative columnists, such as Armon White, are sharply critical of the movie. First, comment on the validity of White's negative review. Then, putting aside politics, what can the movie show us about the value of travel in understanding our own country.
To a certain point, I think Armon White is correct. Moore does in fact travel to Europe and other places around the globe and highlight the great things that these countries do, whether it be the luxurious prisons, or the friendly police officers. The entire show brings sort of a feel that exclaims “look what all these countries are doing so much better than us.†Who knows if this is intentional or not, but I do like how he incorporated the cult-following of these other television hosts such as Maher, Stewart, and Colbert. The line that spoke the most truth to me was when he stated that Moore was rich and comfortable enough to devote his lifestyle to shaming the United States. I find the entire thing ironic. On the flip side of things, I am not sure I like the idea of politicizing movies. I believe that films should be made for the viewer to interpret, and not how someone with a blog does. Just because someone who labels themselves as a movie critic says something is bad, does not mean you should simply assume that it is bad. See for yourself and make your own opinions, not only about movies, but all politics in general. Someone should not be shamed for their political (not moral) beliefs as long as they are the one forming them.
