I actually cried

This is a documentary, the director's attitude is critical, and the audience should have an angry attitude, but I watched with a sore nose. When the Cuban firefighters stood at attention to the 9.11 rescuers from the United States, I really felt cried.

Perhaps like the director, he was already out of anger at this time. Moore went around the hospital in England and France to ask people how much this would cost and how much the bill would be, and all he got were free answers, and that smile , that kind of laughter is so meaningful that it makes people unable to lift their heads. Like the director said, I'm like an idiot.

The US government media can use various words to attack other countries, such as democracy, freedom, human rights, etc., but they cannot match the meaningful laughter and distrust of ordinary people in other countries. Canadians go to the United States to buy insurance in the country one day, anti-American, NO! is contempt. Americans are monsters, in their eyes. When a government is not afraid of the people, and when deception becomes a habit, how much respect can such a country, such a government, give the people?

Satire, satire, satire, all satire, this year's best dark comedy film.

MIKE is lucky to be born in the United States, you can make a movie like this. In some places, do you dare, not afraid of the organization to talk to you? !

Sicko 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.
