Supersize me
Just saw the preview, introduced by Morgan Spurlock himself.
What a great film. All of you who have grown to dislike Moore because of his manipulative style and simplistic pow that take the focus away from the really importent things he describes should go see how it can be done right.
The film starts out with Morgan Spurlock wondering about some girls suing McD for their obesity and gradually he discovers that while the argument about personal responsibility IS central the fight is carried out on an uneven playing field. And that the fast food industry isn´t honest with the information one need to make a well informed choice.
It comes around many of the issues of fast food culture and obesity WITHOUT the manipulatory pitfalls that Moore has served us after "Me and Roger". And making the TRULY appear like he is an ordinary guy wondering about something and then going on a hunt for answers, not a ready made one eyed opinion wrapped in some kind of excuse.
Great moment in the film where he tried to see if some kids could recognice different persons. He showed a picture of Washington and the kids could recognise him and tell who he was. Then he showed another one and they couldn´t tell except for one kid who asked if it was George W. Bush. Well sorta, it was Jesus...

Thanks.
Isn't it amazing how hard the oppressed will work to defend their oppressors?
The Big One came on the independent film network. I just watched it (DVR) and I don't see how he has really changed at all.
