Michael Moore doesn't want an Oscar for Best Documentary, no, he wants the Best Picture Oscar.
He claims he wants to get out of the way of the other good documentaries being made. Personally, I think he's simply admitting that his films aren't documentaries.
Wouldn't it be funny if Moore was actually using all of his films and political posturing to create his masterwork and it turned out to be a documentary about manipulating the media and the public?
Speaking of "heroes"
That would be funny, but it aint gonna happen.
Don't be so sure.
Michael Moore might not make that film, but now that the idea is out there, some new young filmmaker who wanted to take the ultimate shot at Moore could make a documentary about Moore and how all of his films were a big scam leading to a documentary that told all, but he died before being able to make it.
How perfect and fitting would it be to see a documentary get made that completely destroys all of Moore's work using lies and deception?
