Toronto filmmakers focus on Michael Moore
Friday,
March 9, 2007 CBC Arts
A documentary about filmmaker Michael Moore by Toronto's Rick Caine and Debbie Melnyk is drawing buzz ahead of its premiere at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.
Manufacturing Dissent follows filmmaker Michael Moore during the release of Fahrenheit 9/11 and questions many of his tactics.
One of the documentary's revelations is that General Motors chairman Roger Smith, the apparently elusive subject of Moore's 1989 debut Roger & Me, had been interviewed for the film, but Moore simply chose to leave the footage out of the finished cut.

"I don’t really understand the point of this documentary?"
Manufacturing Dissent Movie Trailer featuring Michael Moore

(…) Synopsis: Manufacturing Dissent seeks to separate fact, fiction and legend, tracks Michael Moore on tour during the release of the explosive Fahrenheit 911(and the subsequent Slacker Uprising Tour and 2004 US election), all the while chronicling the politically supercharged climate in America that has fueled Moore’s transition from mere filmmaker to icon of the political left.
(…)And before you ask, dissent is a sentiment or philosophy of non-agreement or opposition to an idea (eg. a government’s policies) or an entity (eg. an individual or political party which supports such policies).
I don’t really understand the point of this documentary? Is it to discredit Moore? To make him look like a fool? Can someone explain to me the point? Is it negative? Positive? Non-partisan?

PART 1 - THE (TRAIN) SPOTTING
Doc by Toronto filmmakers questions Michael Moore's tactics
Christy Lemire - AP - Sunday, March 11, 2007
As documentary filmmakers, Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine looked up to Michael Moore.
Then they tried to do a documentary of their own about him - and ran into the same sort of resistance Moore himself famously faces in his own films.
The result is Manufacturing Dissent, which turns the camera on the confrontational documentarian and examines some of his methods. Among their revelations in the movie, which had its world premiere Saturday night at the South by Southwest film festival: That Moore actually did speak with then-General Motors chairman Roger Smith, the evasive subject of his 1989 debut Roger & Me, but chose to withhold that footage from the final cut.
The husband-and-wife directors spent over two years making the movie, which follows Moore on his college tour promoting 2004's Fahrenheit 9/11. The film shows Melnyk repeatedly approaching Moore for an interview and being rejected; members of Moore's team also kick the couple out of the audience at one of his speeches, saying they weren't allowed to be shooting there.
At their own premiere Saturday night, the Toronto-based filmmakers expected pro-Moore plants in the audience heckling or trying to otherwise sabotage the screening, but it turned out to be a tame affair."It went really well," Melnyk said. "People really liked the film and laughed at the right spots and got the movie and we're really happy about it."
Moore hasn't commented publicly on Manufacturing Dissent and Melnyk thinks he never will. He also hasn't responded to several calls and e-mails from The Associated Press.
"There's no point for Michael to respond to the film because then it gives it publicity," she said."
(President) Bush didn't respond to Fahrenheit 9/11, and there's a reason for that," Caine added.The two were and still are fans of all his movies - including the polarizing Fahrenheit 9/11, which grossed over $119 million (U.S.) and won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival - and initially wanted to do a biography on him. They travelled to his childhood home of Davison, Mich., visited his high school and traced his early days in politics and journalism.
"The fact that he made documentaries entertaining was extremely influential and got all kinds of people out to see them," said Melnyk, whose previous films with Caine include 1998's Junket Whore. "Let's face it, he made documentaries popular and that is great for all documentary filmmakers.""All of these films - Super Size Me, An Inconvenient Truth - we've all been riding in his wake," said Caine. "There's a nonfiction film revolution going on and we're all beneficiaries of that. For that point alone, he's worth celebrating."
But after four months of unsuccessfully trying to sit down with Moore for an on-camera interview, they realized they needed to approach the subject from a different angle. They began looking at the process Moore employs in his films, and the deeper they dug, the more they began to question him.
The fact that Moore spoke with Smith, including a lengthy question-and-answer exchange during a May 1987 GM shareholders meeting, first was reported in a Premiere magazine article three years later. Transcripts of the discussion had been leaked to the magazine, and a clip of the meeting appeared in Manufacturing Dissent. Moore also reportedly interviewed Smith on camera in January 1988 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.
Since then, in the years since Roger & Me put Moore on the map, those details seem to have been suppressed and forgotten."
It was shocking, because to me that was the whole premise of Roger & Me," Melnyk said.
She and Caine also had trouble finding people to talk on camera about Moore, partly because potential interview subjects assumed they were creating a right-wing attack piece; as self-proclaimed left-wingers, they weren't.
Despite what they've learned, the directors still appreciate Moore.
"We're a bit disappointed and disillusioned with Michael," Melnyk said, "but we are still very grateful to him for putting documentaries out there in a major way that people can go to a DVD store and they're right up there alongside dramatic features."
Manufatturing Fact Bastards, THE LIES
THE (HOUSE WASTE) SORTING
PART 2 - THE LIES
confrontational documentarian : MM NEVER was confrontational. He always was pesky. He always used his Mike to Let Them Talk. “And he never gives an answer…”
their revelations : There are NO revelations to this miserable REMAKE OF “MICHAEL AND ME” (which wasn’t successful enough for the two fatasses’ tastes). As REPORTED, “the fact that Moore spoke with Smith, including a lengthy question-and-answer exchange during a May 1987 GM shareholders meeting, first was REPORTED in a Premiere magazine article three years later”, and “Moore also REPORTEDLY interviewed Smith on camera in January 1988 at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York.” I, for one, already knew it.
The Point - Manufattturing Fact Bastards, THE DECEITS
THE (HOUSE WASTE) SORTING
PART 3 - THE DECEITS
the Toronto-based filmmakers expected pro-Moore plants in the audience heckling or trying to otherwise sabotage the screening : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On felt (RIGHTLY) guilty for acting like The Seventh RIGHT-WING ATTACK on Mike (“This Divided State” being the only pro-Moore documentary done in the direct WAKE of his HARD WORK) and expected the same kind of punishment that Republican slandering sites got in 2004 from a NOW LATE, LAMENTED pro-Moore dedicated Army
Michael : These true, dedicated pro-Moore left-wing McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On NEVER call him by his Real Name : MIKE. They call him MICHAEL instead. Like Ralph Nader.
"There's no point for Michael to respond to the film because then it gives it publicity," she said.
"(President) Bush didn't respond to Fahrenheit 9/11, and there's a reason for that," Caine added.
This one’s pretty plain to see but remains and absolute must to ALL of the “left-wing” Iscariots and ALL of the “left-wing” traitors : “Michael” = “(President) Bush”
The two were and still are fans of all his movies : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On WERE fans, but they AREN’T. Not anymore.
But after four months of unsuccessfully trying to sit down with Moore for an on-camera interview, they realized they needed to approach the subject from a different angle : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On can’t have REALIZED that, cuz Mike Wilsod, Brian Baloney and Larry ELDER had “REALIZED” that FACT before them. Even RABID ATHEISTS like McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On must have REALIZED that this RIGHT-WING ANTI-MOORE TRINITY came first, long before them.
those details seem to have been suppressed and forgotten : They SEEM… but they HAVEN’T BEEN.
Despite what they've learned, the directors still appreciate Moore : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On LEARNED * NOTHING *. The Repug Trinity said it all in 2004. Unless, perhaps, their righteous attacks “seem to have been suppressed and forgotten” ? BIGGRIN.
The Point - Manufacturing Fat Bastards, THE HYPOCRISY
THE (HOUSE WASTE) SORTING
PART 4 - THE HYPOCRISY
it turned out to be a tame affair : Tame affair for tame filmmakers, tame audience and tame “left”. What a SURPRISE.
the Toronto-based filmmakers expected pro-Moore plants in the audience heckling or trying to otherwise sabotage the screening : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On expected the audience to be pro-Moore ? What a JOKE.
"All of these films - Super Size Me, An Inconvenient Truth - we've all been riding in his wake," said Caine : McCaine explains that his documentary is SIMILAR to Super Size Me and An Inconvenient Truth, both genuine pro-Moore movies. What a SURPRISE and what a JOKE.
She and Caine also had trouble finding people to talk on camera about Moore, partly because potential interview subjects assumed they were creating a right-wing attack piece; as self-proclaimed left-wingers, they weren't : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On describe themselves as “self-proclaimed left-wingers”. SAY NO MOORE.
The Point - Manufacturing Fat Bastards, THE SLANDER
THE (HOUSE WASTE) SORTING
PART 5 - THE SLANDER
People really liked the film : People liked to see Mike humiliated.
and laughed at the right spots : They needed no pre-recorded laughter, it was inside them.
and got the movie : They got that THE POINT was to BELITTLE MIKE.
and we're really happy about it : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On are happy that the 300 are dead and that they’re left with an all-Persian “”””””””””pro-Moore””””””””””” audience."
Let's face it, he made documentaries popular and that is great for all documentary filmmakers : McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On acknowledge how much Mike really is A GREAT MAN. They also acknowledge that he did * THEM * ONLY GOOD.
There's a nonfiction film revolution going on and we're all beneficiaries of that. For that point alone, he's worth celebrating = “Poor, poor, pitiful, nonfictitious Fat Bastard !!”
"We're a bit disappointed and disillusioned with Michael," Melnyk said, "but we are still very grateful to him for putting documentaries out there in a major way : the Whore of Babble-On is “a bit disappointed and disillusioned” (but NOT TOO MUCH, let’s remain MODERATE AND OBJECTIVE) with “Michael” (like Nader), but she’s still very sorry for Poor, Poor, Pitiful Nonfictitious Fat Bastard, whose GREATNESS SHE’S WELL AWARE OF.
THE POINT : MANU-FACT-URING FACT BASTARDS, * THE TRUTH *
THE (HOUSE WASTE) SORTING
PART 6 - THE TRUTH
As documentary filmmakers, Debbie Melnyk and Rick Caine looked UP to Michael Moore, as stated in the TITLE. That is, they were dwarves and he was a giant. And they realized that AWFUL TRUTH when confronting their IDOL. So they set out on a QUEST TO BELITTLE MICHAEL MOORE by “questioning his tactics”, that is, “soiling his immaculate purity”.
It was shocking, because to me that was the whole premise of Roger & Me," Melnyk said : the Whore of Babble-On is shocked that THE GIANT DIDN’T ALIGN WITH HER DWARFISH MINDSET.
The lies and deceits are equally shared between the author of the article and the authors of the movie. So tightly that THEY BECOME THE TRUTH.
There are NO revelations to this documentary, other than PRICELESS ONES ABOUT THE “LEFT”.
McCaine and his Whore of Babble-On’s real AGENDA is to KILL THE STORY-TELLER and to KILL THE ARTIST, so that MIKE gets CUT DOWN to CROOKED LYING COWARDLY POLITICIAN like KERRY.“Manufacturing Dissent” is really about MANUFACTURING THE CONSENT OF MILLIONS OF SWARMING MCCAINES AND WHORES OF BABBLE-ON.
* MY POINT *
Fuck the traitors.
Death to Judas Iscariot.
Death to McCaine and his War of Babylon.
