This is a propaganda flick. The intention of the flick is to demonize the CEO of General Motors and make everybody feel sorry for the people who had lost their jobs and their homes.
It is successful in doing this. Even for someone like me who is definitely not with the unions. I feel really sorry for those people--- although this is 30 years old.
Anyway, this is not a constructive way to approach a real problem. That's the trouble with propaganda. It is not a constructive way to solve problems. It just makes people feel a certain way that the manipulator wants them to feel. The manipulation is intended to do something though, and in this case, I'd say it is intended to help the Democrats. It also gives Michael Moore a name and makes a lot of money for Michael Moore. I'd like to see one constructive thing that Michael Moore ever did for anybody.
