As he travels from the Heartland to the financial epicenter of New York and the halls of government in Washington, Moore delves into the price the country pays for its love of capitalism. Michael Moore demonstrates the failure of Capitalism as an economic system in America. The movie explores

Undoubtedly, Michael Moore is a master rhetorician in his documentaries and his film “Capitalism: a love story” proves it. LOGOS: “Logos is appeal based on logic or reason” Notably, throughout all his film, he makes use of Logos rhetoric form. He provides factual reasons to make the audience believe what he is trying to prove. He interviews real people that will prove his point with their testimonies. ETHOS: “The impact of ethos is often called the argument's 'ethical appeal' or the 'appeal from

Capitalism: A Love Story The documentary “Capitalism: A Love Story” by Michael Moore is dedicated to inform the audience about capitalism in the United States of America. The director is also starring as the main character throughout the documentary in which he guides the audience on how capitalism has changed throughout the years. The meaning of capitalism is the production and distribution of goods and services and in return consumers pay for those goods. “Giving and taking” refers to how capitalism

Michael Moore’s main goal in “Idiot Nation” was to give his opinion on the unethical educational system of America. Also to show how corrupt and poor political decisions have caused schools to look to corporate funding for money. Moore argues that politicians have neglected the educational system. This neglect has allowed for corporate businesses to come in and solve their problem but with their own priorities in mind and not the futures of the children. Throughout “Idiot Nation” Moore gives examples

The question of whether Michael Moore is a propagandist rather than a maker of documentaries assumes that documentaries are never propaganda.

The Academy’s definition of what a documentary is, “a movie, television show or radio program that provides a factual record or report”. With this definition in mind, one could say Moore has been extremely successful in persuading the audience to agree with his message if his fiction movie won an Academy award for best documentary. Moore’s use of persona, interview tactics, editing sound/camera angles, and incorporation of

Michael Moore has been known to create films in which in my opinion has shown how liberal-minded and bias he can really be, a truly unsatisfying quality, when you think of the issues that are covered in his films and the power he has to carry out real change. However, in this film “Sicko” he has really grown from the Michael Moore we all have grown to dislike, the film is very insightful, generating quality thoughts and questioning, why do we not fight more to advocate for a better health care system

Michael Moore´s Bowling For Columbine Bowling For Columbine is a well-directed documentary that informs people about gun violence in America. Michael Moore is successful in showing that America has been going through many gun tragedies; and portrays the sense that America’s problems are out of control. He conveys this through informative facts, images, and comparisons. Throughout the film Michael Moore throws many cold facts on the screen that makes it obvious that the strong nation

When Michael Moore first created the documentary, “Bowling for Columbine”, in 2002 he not only wanted to raise awareness around the tragedy that was the Columbine Massacre, but wanted to look beyond that and dig deep into finding out the political events that led up to this tragic event. Michael Moore wanted to seek to investigate and confront leading, powerful politicians for allowing this violent culture to worsen for their own benefit through creating this documentary.

In “Where to Invade Next” a satirical documentary, Michael Moore compares U.S. public policies to european countries like Italy and France. In this documentary Moore uses what seems to be strong logos until you realize that he is card stacking. He also uses quite a bit of pathos as he talks about things in other countries that we would love to have in the U.S. like 8 weeks paid vacation or free college tuition. Michael Moore is trying to persuade the U.S. to be more like it was supposed to be when
