Where to Invade Next (2015)

Thought Provoking movie. You can ask your self, if this country can make this happen why can't we.

Where to Invade Next (2015) *** (out of 4)Here's another entertaining film (not documentary) from Michael Moore that has him invading several countries to try and learn about their great policies so that he can bring them to the evil North America.WHERE TO INVADE NEXT is another Moore film where he pretty much bashes America and lets everyone know how awful it is. He tells us about the awful America while at the same time showing us how wonderful other places around the globe are. Did you know Iceland is striving because women control the banks? How about eight weeks of vacation? We learn about that too.Look, Moore is not a documentary filmmaker because he admits to making things up to support whatever cause he's going for. He even admits that he isn't going to comment on the bad things going on in the countries he invades because he wants to highlight the "good" stuff. At the same time, he doesn't bother to talk about the great thing about America and instead just looks at the bad so that makes the entire film a bit one-sided to say the least.I do find it funny that he talks about how great everything else is but bashes America and yet he doesn't want a wall built here. Since America is so bad and there are so many better places, it looks like he'd want people to not be able to come to America since there are better places for them to go.In all seriousness, Moore is a talented filmmaker and there's no question about that. WHERE TO INVADE NEXT gets his points across no matter how one-sided they are. As is the case with all of his films, it seems many have come out and said things are quite as they appear. Does that take away from the entertainment? Not at all. This is an entertaining movie and it's certainly worth watching as such.

This review will contain spoilers.Where to invade next was released in 2015 in Canada and United States of America and three months later they released it for the rest of the world. Michael Moore who wrote and directed this movie is back with another funny documentary that will for sure make you laugh but also show you the differences between USA and some other countries.This documentary is produced by Michael Moore, he's traveling around the world to conquer the best ideas and concepts and bring them back to the US. He does this in order to make a better society in the US. In the film he is traveling to places such as Italy, France, Tunisia, Slovenia, Portugal and Norway to find out if the working conditions, school lunches, gender equality etc.. are better there and why it's better. But this movie is extremely misleading if you believe that just because one school have nice food doesn't mean the entire country has the same quality. It's simply impossible. Likewise, the statement that Germany have so good working condition can't be confirmed unless other sources can back it up. He portrays Europe as if we don't have any flaws at all and that's totally wrong, every country has their flaws but he doesn't show the entire picture and that makes the film really unreliable. So what can we call it? A documentary or propaganda?But, I really loved the film because of the humor in it but also that it's so serious. Everybody should see the movie and judge it for themselves. I'm sure you will learn something fun, but also a lot of interesting facts you didn't knew about those countries earlier. I guess Michael Moore also has a hidden reason behind this movie. He wants us to discuss and talk to each other about it and the differences between the countries.I highly recommend this movie.

This review will contain spoilers.I have watched the documentary "where to invade next" made by Michael Moore (2015). Michael Moore is a well-known director and political activist who have done other documentaries with a political aim that America has flaws that they should consider taking more serious and learn more about to become a better country. This documentary is about how and why other countries in Europe are better than America. Michael is during the documentary travelling around in different countries to find useful ideas that will further the United States. According to me, this is more of a propaganda movie than a documentary because I believe that when he visit countries like Italy, Norway and Tunisia he is just talking about the good things in their country and compare it to the bad in the USA which doesn't reflect the political situation or each countries welfare in either Europe or in the USA in the right way, because there are flaws in every country and not only in the USA, so the documentary is very biased. To put it in differently his information is also very misleading. He pronounce that in the schools of Finland they doesn't have any homework at all and that's one of the reasons why they have a higher level on their students and why they perform better than the pupils in America. But reported by two reliable newspapers from Sweden (http://www.dn.se and https://www.svd.se ) the students in Finland still have homework, but it's not as much as they have in America. That means that Moore is stating something false when he say that they don't have any homework at all, even if what he is trying to say is that students shouldn't have to dig into a lot of homework immediately after getting home from a long day in school. This is just one example but it's a reason to search if everything he says is exaggeratedly and if he's telling the truth or not. At the same time it's a bit impressive that he does documentaries like this because it gets attention and people do listen to him and he's making a clear point of what he's showing. In other words he is reaching out in the way he wants to, he want people to believe in what he says and that's something to respect. In conclusion I think that it's a well-made movie, the motive of the movie is shown very clear and he does it very well by showing his point, but why my rate will be lower is because of his way of just showing one side of all countries that he visited. People will either trust the things that is said or not, some people may be critical. I would only recommend this movie to people that is critical or want to learn to be critical. I would not show this movie in educational purpose for learning about other countries. I give the documentary 6 out of 10.
