I just got back from watching the movie. After watching it and also listening to a long interview with him and hearing his life story this weekend, i have a lot of respect for him now. His goal is to draw attention to issues that he feels are important and make the nation stop, think about those issues and discuss and debate them. He does it well. Even by doing something as innocuous as calling it a "documentary" pisses people off to the point that they have to watch it just so that they can properly attack it he is achieving his goal. It is beginning to look as if he is doing that better than anyone in contemporary history ever has. Everyone is talking. Everyone is watching his movie. Everyone has an opinion about him and his work. That is a remarkable achievement.
JMHO.
