SICKO!----Made me sick to my stomach--IT WAS THAT GREAT



Be prepared to leave the theater slightly depressed, angry, and awake. Hopefully the depression is a thought provoking kind of depression, and combined with the anger it should fade and morph itself into motivation and inspiration--To make a Change. To change a healthcare system that started off on the wrong foot--thanks to Richard Nixon and Henry Kaiser, among others.

As an aspiring documentary filmmaker, Sicko is a great example of the type of work I would like to produce.

Moore is bold, and exemplifies the type of old school investigative journalism where no one was ever granted safety of criticism and scrutiny. Hilary Clinton's story of a failed crusade for socialized healthcare that ended with her recieving contributions from the same major health care crooks she onced criticized.

What is most eye-openning is the healthcare privileges provided to people in other countries, even if they are not citizens. Europe, Canada, and of course, Cuba.

Watching Sicko is an eye-opening, learning experience that I recommend to every one. Its not a liberal/green/conservative issue, this one is straight up ACROSS THE BOARD.
