Mini Reviews - Sicko

Sicko

Sicko

If you want to stay healthy in America, don't get sick. Following on the heels of his award winning hit "Fahrenheit 9/11" and his Oscar® winning film "Bowling for Columbine," acclaimed filmmaker Michael Moore's new documentary sets out to investigate the American healthcare system. Sticking to his tried-and-true one-man approach, Moore sheds light on the complicated medical affairs of individuals and local communities.

It is questionable whether Michael Moore's films are a handful insight onto a topic or a biased propaganda. All that matters is that he gets people thinking. Touching on the important subject of the very broken heath care system in America, Moore chronicles the state of different types of peoples of different backgrounds and different countries dealing with their health insurance their country offers. As universal health care considered unfavorable by America as a socialist act, it really shows that is nothing more than profit and greed when comparing to other countries with universal health care that have their people living happy lives. And you'll say to yourself "why are they calling this an evil thing when it is the one thing making people live a better life?". Like what the film state from the beginning, its not about the people who don't have health insurance. Its about the people who have insurance but they are screwed anyway. And the sad stories of these people felt a little more authentic, but not staged. It'll raise your eyebrows when you'll find that the America hospitals are alot about money than saving lives.

4 out of 5 stars
