      Who will be the modern version of Lu Xun

      Another documentary by Michael Moore after Huashi 911. good! Although it is about the United States, there is something worth thinking about!
      Now our country's medical reform has begun to be carried out gradually. What can be changed I dare not hope. I don't want to comment too much on our country's medical reform.
      The only thing I want to say is should China also have someone like Michael Moore? The premise of fairness is that people think of the need to pursue fairness. The question...

      who is the real sicko??

      Michael Moore a great guy, isn't he?
      We don't need the triumph of heroes, but the good life for everyone.
      I can see the similar situation happens in my homecountry here. We always demand to be stronger, making others look up on us, or even afraid of us, but does it really mean sth.? Or can't we merely mind our own business, solving the basic civil-problems then living a simple but nice life beyond public?
      so fed up about the speeches and theories being propagandized these days (i...

      I don't know when this movie will be released in China

      It took two weeks to finish reading Moore's "The Nervous Man", and I also have a little understanding of the American medical system. Moore exposed the dark side of the American medical system to us one by one through stories. There are a lot of people who can't see a doctor because they don't have money and medical insurance, and they die. There are old people who can't pay their bills and end up being taken away in taxis and thrown into the slums. There are children who have missed the...

      sicko, a film with a conscience

      Saw this film tonight and was very moved, it once again proved that Moore is a conscientious director, even though the director may be prosecuted for this film that brings justice to people. The despair brought to the people by an unfair system is more cruel than the disease itself. A very good film, worth spending 2 hours watching.
          The Chinese people should be more aware of their own living conditions and the country's medical system. People in any country have the right to enjoy full...

      The people of the world need you Michael Moore

      Michael Moore Michael Moore, a fat man who has been sad for half a hundred, but is still as cute as a child, when he took a basket of clothes at the end of "sicko" to go to the US government to wash his clothes, I believe everyone will laugh Now, no president in history has such a big trouble to lead thousands of people to cause chaos for the government every day. Bush wondered why I was so unlucky. After "Fahrenheit 9/11" in 2004, the American people once again let the American people know...

      Michael Moore's films always make people freeze, piercing the beautiful American dream, and uncovering the secrets, which are full of provocation and a little out of line to make it more attractive. The "argument" this time is a bit roundabout, but it still shows the rigor and meticulousness of the progressive...

    Behind the scenes gags

    On the eve of the film’s release, director Michael Francis Moore opened more than 10 websites (some of which were run by his supporters) related to health insurance rights protection, and initiated an online initiative to submit a petition to the U.S. Congress to improve the health care system.
    Michael Francis Moore had the idea of ​​filming the film in 1999, but it had not yet been implemented. The Columbine shooting took place. Moore...

    Creative background

    Director Michael Francis Moore’s idea of ​​making the film began in 1999, when he was making the TV show "Truth Pursuit", and the opening story was about how a man named Chris Donahue got into a dispute with an insurance company In China, when he was on the verge of death, he was unable to perform the operation for a long time because the insurance company refused to pay for his "pancreatic transplantation" insurance. The focus of...

    Shooting process

    At the beginning of the preparation of the film, Michael Francis Moore brainstormed ideas on his website, allowing readers to tell the story between himself and medical insurance. What he could not imagine was that "medical insurance" was not what he thought, just The battle of a few people has become a national issue. Moore felt very frustrated when he saw the comments on the Internet, and he even felt disgusted with the United...

    Movie quotes

    • [final lines]

      Michael Moore: It was hard for me to acknowledge that in the end, we truly are all in the same boat. And that now matter what are differences, we sink or swim together. That's how it seems to be everywhere else. They take care of each other, no matter what their disagreements. You know, when we see a good idea from another country, we grab it. If they build a better car, we drive it. If they make a better wine, we drink it. So if they've come up with a better way to treat the sick, to teach their kids, to take care of their babies, to simply be good to each other, then what's our problem? Why can't we do that? They live in a world of 'we', not 'me'. We'll never fix anything until we get that one basic thing right. And powerful forces hope that we never do. And that we remain the only country in the western world without free, universal health care. You know, if we ever did remove the chokehold of medical bills, college loans, daycare, and everything else that makes us afraid to step out of line, well, watch out. Cause it will be a new day in America. In the meantime, I'm gonna go get the government to do my laundry.

    • Michael Moore: I'm wondering why you expect your fellow Canadians, who don't have your problem, why should they, through their tax dollars, have to pay for a problem you have.

      Canadian: Because we would do the same for them.

      Michael Moore: Yeah, but...

      Canadian: It's just the way it's always been, and so we hope it'll always be.

      Michael Moore: Right. But if you just had to pay for your problem, and don't pay for everybody else's problem - just take care of yourself.

      Canadian: Well, there are lots of people who aren't in a position to be able to do that. And somebody has to look out for them.

      Michael Moore: Are you a member of like the Socialist party here?

      Canadian: No, no.

      Michael Moore: Green party?

      Canadian: No. Well, actually I'm a member of the Conservative party. Is that bad?

      Michael Moore: Well, it's just a little confusing.

      Canadian: Well, it shouldn't be. I think that where medical matters are concerned, it wouldn't matter in Canada what party you were affiliated with.

    • Michael Moore: So there was actually one place on American soil that had free, universal healthcare.

      [cut to aerial picture of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba]

      Michael Moore: That's all I needed to know. I went down to Miami, Florida, Got myself a boat, and loaded up Bill, and Reggie, and John, and anyone else I could find who needed o see a doctor, and couldn't afford one. So many people showed up, I had to get a few extra boats. And I called up Donna Smith from Denver, who was now on 9 different medications, and asked her if she'd like to come along. I figured she'd like to get out of her daughter's basement for a while.
