I’m going to try to keep this as short as possible. A person I know came over to my place this weekend with a burned copy of the new Michael Moore film “Sicko” (yes, it’s already floating around out there). All he said to me was “you have to watch this”.
Now let me reaffirm that piracy is wrong. Also let me admit that I am WEAK. I’ve been looking forward to this film for so long… and even though I could resist going on the internet to look for and download it (heck, people have even been emailing me links to it, but I resisted!)… I just couldn’t resist a disc in my hand. I AM SHAMED! I justified it to myself by writing a note on my computer monitor that says “No matter what, go see Sicko on opening day”. This way I could make myself feel better… because I’m going to pay admission (yes, it’s a damn weak attempt at self justification… but there you have it).
Sicko, as most of you know by now, is Michael Moore’s look at the American Health Care system and its failings. The movie is SHOCKING, funny, and at one point came damn close to having me in tears. The film is beyond wonderful. You know a documentary has done something right when all you can do is think about it days after you’ve seen it. Yes, it’s that good (It’s even almost as good as Prince of Peace – God of War) lol.
I’m not going to go into anything here, I’ll wait to put up my actual review of Sicko once it hits theaters… but I just wanted to tell all of you to make plans to see this film the day it opens. Seriously. Fucking 9/11 rescue workers getting denied health care?!?!?! And wow… he takes one hell of a heavy shot at Hilary Clinton. BOOM! Just see this movie… just see it. Shut up… shut up… just see it.
