Moore once again manages to lucidly plead the case for the dwindling middle class. He chronicles the sabotage of the American Dream by the myopic forces of the Dickensian 1% who are so blind with greed that they have bankrupted and erased the jobs and income of the worlds strongest consumer base.
Moore is sadly vindicated by his predictions in "Roger & Me." This film is merely showing us the beginning of our long slide into ruin, that is unless the delusional, proudly ignorant majority of our citizens wake up and fight for their inalienable rights.
If they do, Moore's film will likely be a large reason why.
Fercrissakes, I still can't believe how emotionally wrenching the first ten minutes of this comedy was. Usually I hold to the maxim that says 'montage' is the root of all evil, but this opening sequence was the leanest, most elegant story telling I can remember.
In reality only a small series of vignettes, but so honest and character driven as to define the rest of the film. All the characters exhibit such depth and range of emotion rare for any film, animated or not. The comedy was delightful, the thrills scary and the heart honest and true.
