    Character Evaluation

    Michael Francis Moore is talented and radical, and may be the filmmaker who has caused the US authorities the most headache. The camera is like a gun to him, a freer and more lethal weapon; he is good at and likes to laugh and curse. And documentaries with extremely direct and critical tendencies have caused widespread controversy   . He never wavered. He is the guardian of freedom of speech and the press. All his films allow viewers to begin to reflect on facts they have previously ignored   . He is a true American hero. His perspective always falls on the sharpest social and political issues. He uses current affairs and political events as the subject and dares to directly question those in power. Political documentaries are his clear banner   . ( by )
