i saw it the friday it came out and cried through the entire thing. at first, i was just sort of sniffling to myself, but by the middle, it was like FEVER PITCH hysteria and i was disrupting everyone's viewing experience. so i had to the leave the theatre for a few minutes and pull it together. i feel awful for being such a muppet about the whole thing; i wish i could personally apologise to everyone who had been there!
politics and personal opinion aside, i think what upset me most is how moore highlights american society as "ME" driven, instead of "WE". i don't like to make sweeping generalisations or mean to be a social critic, but i often feel that way. it's really alienating and confusing on an "everyday" level, but then when you put it in the context of people's lives being at risk, it seems unconscionable.
at any rate, i enjoyed sicko much more than fahrenheit 9/11. there were less "michael moore-isms". it was better balanced, in my view.
