Where to Invade Next (2015)

Admirable film.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I gave this film 3 stars for the laughs it evoked. But to view this as a serious documentary is ludicrous. While there were a few legitimate points made in this film, there is no where on earth that is Nirvana. Try exercising free speech in Great Britain or Germany. Hunting in France?...Only if you're rich, and you have to rent the gun from the Government. Every point in this film can have holes poked through it. For example: the first couple he interviewed was a police officer and a buyer for a major retailer. Both high powered (relatively) jobs. How do couples that both work high pay jobs, with no kids, live in the US? Police officers in the US are unionized...High pay, lots of vacation time, and great benefits, plus retirement with full pay and benefits...Can Italy say that? The only difference is that in the US if you have no ambition and are lazy you go nowhere. As it should be. Thanks for reading my rant.

Where to Invade Next (2015) *** (out of 4)Here's another entertaining film (not documentary) from Michael Moore that has him invading several countries to try and learn about their great policies so that he can bring them to the evil North America.WHERE TO INVADE NEXT is another Moore film where he pretty much bashes America and lets everyone know how awful it is. He tells us about the awful America while at the same time showing us how wonderful other places around the globe are. Did you know Iceland is striving because women control the banks? How about eight weeks of vacation? We learn about that too.Look, Moore is not a documentary filmmaker because he admits to making things up to support whatever cause he's going for. He even admits that he isn't going to comment on the bad things going on in the countries he invades because he wants to highlight the "good" stuff. At the same time, he doesn't bother to talk about the great thing about America and instead just looks at the bad so that makes the entire film a bit one-sided to say the least.I do find it funny that he talks about how great everything else is but bashes America and yet he doesn't want a wall built here. Since America is so bad and there are so many better places, it looks like he'd want people to not be able to come to America since there are better places for them to go.In all seriousness, Moore is a talented filmmaker and there's no question about that. WHERE TO INVADE NEXT gets his points across no matter how one-sided they are. As is the case with all of his films, it seems many have come out and said things are quite as they appear. Does that take away from the entertainment? Not at all. This is an entertaining movie and it's certainly worth watching as such.

This movie is pure propaganda. Moore has taken one little segment from each of these countries and expanded upon it. In France are we given to understand that all the Schools in that country serve gourmet meals ? Hogwash. In Italy are all the companies giving their employees eight weeks vacation ?? I'm sure Fiat doesn't. 21 years for murdering more than 50 people, mostly children. Absurd. Does he want the US to change to that form of injustice ?? Then he shows his dementia, when coming out of a meeting with the president of SLOVENIA he refers to it as SLOVAKIA.

This review will contain spoilers.I have watched the documentary "where to invade next" made by Michael Moore (2015). Michael Moore is a well-known director and political activist who have done other documentaries with a political aim that America has flaws that they should consider taking more serious and learn more about to become a better country. This documentary is about how and why other countries in Europe are better than America. Michael is during the documentary travelling around in different countries to find useful ideas that will further the United States. According to me, this is more of a propaganda movie than a documentary because I believe that when he visit countries like Italy, Norway and Tunisia he is just talking about the good things in their country and compare it to the bad in the USA which doesn't reflect the political situation or each countries welfare in either Europe or in the USA in the right way, because there are flaws in every country and not only in the USA, so the documentary is very biased. To put it in differently his information is also very misleading. He pronounce that in the schools of Finland they doesn't have any homework at all and that's one of the reasons why they have a higher level on their students and why they perform better than the pupils in America. But reported by two reliable newspapers from Sweden (http://www.dn.se and https://www.svd.se ) the students in Finland still have homework, but it's not as much as they have in America. That means that Moore is stating something false when he say that they don't have any homework at all, even if what he is trying to say is that students shouldn't have to dig into a lot of homework immediately after getting home from a long day in school. This is just one example but it's a reason to search if everything he says is exaggeratedly and if he's telling the truth or not. At the same time it's a bit impressive that he does documentaries like this because it gets attention and people do listen to him and he's making a clear point of what he's showing. In other words he is reaching out in the way he wants to, he want people to believe in what he says and that's something to respect. In conclusion I think that it's a well-made movie, the motive of the movie is shown very clear and he does it very well by showing his point, but why my rate will be lower is because of his way of just showing one side of all countries that he visited. People will either trust the things that is said or not, some people may be critical. I would only recommend this movie to people that is critical or want to learn to be critical. I would not show this movie in educational purpose for learning about other countries. I give the documentary 6 out of 10.
