Movie Review: Roger & Me
'Roger & Me' is Micheal Moore's first movie. It is a documentary about Flint, Michigan and how thosands of people were laid off due to General Motors moving their factories to Mexico where labor is cheaper. For the whole movie, Moore trys to speak to Roger Smith, head of GM, and convince him to spend a day with him in flint. There is also a guest appearence by this lady that kills a bunny rabbit by repeatedly striking it's head with a steel pole of some sort. I think it was one of her best roles. My favorite scene was Roger Smith's speech about the magic of Christmas when Moore dubbs the speech over footage of an ex-GM worker and her kids being evicted on Christmas eve. The movie was pretty good, but not much really happened and it was kind of drawn out. I'd give it a 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.
