Product description

In 1989 Michael Moore winner of 2002's Best Documentary Feature Academy Award and Cannes Film Festival Special Jury Prize for Bowling for Columbinetriumphantly burst upon the American moviemaking scene with Roger & Mea hilarious penetrating forerunner of the independent film movement to follow. Moore doggedly and hilariously tried to do what every working stiff dreams of: talk to the man at the top. His efforts to meet General Motors Chairman Roger Smith and persuade him to visit Flint Michigan frame a film that uses humor to devsatating effect. Roger & Me champions people over profits and slyly lampoons corporate America as it shows how the Flint folks cope with economic setbacks.Running Time: 90 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC. UPC: 085392764525

Amazon.com

Roger and Me is a loose, smart-alecky documentary directed and narrated by Michael Moore, an everyman host with a devastating wit and a working-class pose. When his hometown is devastated by the plant closure of an American corporate giant (making record profits, one should note), the hell-raising political commentator with a prankster streak tries to turn his camera on General Motors Chairman Roger B. Smith, the elusive Roger of the title, and the film is loosely structured around Moore's odyssey to track down the corporate giant for an interview.

While Moore ambushes his corporate subjects like a blue-collar Geraldo Rivera, a guerrilla interviewer who treasures his comic rebuffs as much as his interviews, his portraits of the colorful characters he meets along the way can be patronizing. The famous come off as absurdly out of touch (Anita Bryant appears for some can-do cheerleading, and hometown celebrity Bob Eubanks tells some boorish jokes), and the disenfranchised poor (notably an unemployed woman who sells rabbit meat to make ends meet) all too often appear as buffoons or hicks. But behind his loose play with the facts and snarky attitude is a devastating look at the victims of downsizing in the midst of the 1980s economic boom. This portrait of Reagan's America and the tarnish on the American dream comes down to a simple question: what is corporate America's responsibility to the country's citizens? That's a question no one at GM wants to answer. --Sean Axmaker

Michael Moore Broke the Rules of Documentary Film-Making Forever!

August 29, 2016

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

When "Roger & Me" came out in the late eighties, two Chicago film critics, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert of "At the Movies," gave two enthusiastic thumbs up to this documentary and Michael Moore. Twenty five years later, Michael Moore is still at it with his documentaries ranging on issues such as gun control, Iraq war, elections, American health care and more. Michael Moore was born and raised in Flint, Michigan.

In the first documentary, you can see how Michael Moore's film style came about with a mixture of popular culture and realism. His documentary about Moore trying to meet and talk with Roger Smith, the head of General Motors, is more like a goose chase around Michigan, Chicago, and New York City. Roger Smith doesn't want to meet and talk with Michael Moore. Moore wants Smith to come to Flint.

For most of the documentary, Michael Moore meets the people including an African American sheriff whose job was to evict people from their homes even on Christmas Eve while Roger Smith is celebrating in downtown Detroit. There are plenty of comparisons between the haves and the have-nots. Michael Moore has become a champion of the have-nots with his documentaries.

Since "Roger & Me," Michael Moore keeps making films. Twenty five years later, he provides a commentary about his film. I usually don't listen to commentaries since they distract me from viewing them. I hated the scene where a woman skins and kills a rabbit. As a rabbit lover, I just can't watch. It's the once scene where I want to fast forward.

Reality can be a hard pill to swallow -it's easier for some to look away or play ignorant of a problem .

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

This is the movie that started my long term respect of Michael Moore. He captured the city of Flint and it's downfall from GM pulling out of Flint and the slide into poverty of many good people. The lady with the rabbits was especially telling about the situation.

I take the political views some people have labeled him with and look at his movies as common sense in your face. He certainly has a unique way of showing Americans what's wrong in this country and why. I was especially amazed at watching his movie "who do we invade next" which isn't about war, but about what we should be taking from the successes of other countries' . It's a real eye opener. Especially when they were America's ideas to begin with.

I watched this movie when it first came out, often thought about it over the years and have watched it again recently. I would not call it entertainment as much as calling it a movie that invokes a lot of thought.

Early Moore--very touching documentary. Forget politics and catch this little gem

August 4, 2017

Format: Amazon VideoVerified Purchase

A Michael Moore early documentary about the abrupt downfall of Flint, MI due to GM pulling their plants out and opening plants in Mexico. The whole town went bust, and it is very moving, sad/funny, and enlightening. He interviews the Old Money Women at the golf course, the local celebrities who made good and came back, and does a nice flashback to the 50s and 60s when times were good. He also follows the guy who evicts all kinds of people from their homes. Don't miss the interviews with the rabbit lady!! All while trying to catch up to Roger Smith, the CEO of GM, whose evasiveness makes him seem even more sinister.
I don't usually care for Michael Moore movies (hated Canadian Bacon), but this was an early and earnest little film, and I think he did a good job. Forget Moore's way left leaning and Trump-hating for a while, and catch this little gem.

How to catch a LIAR in the act

August 11, 2017

Format: Blu-rayVerified Purchase

This flick provides insight as to why Flint, Michigan is the failure it is today. Yes, Michael Moore is a sloppy, overweight, trickster. But, similar to TV detective "Columbo" - he uses that disguise to cause the bad guys to dismiss him, without consideration of his potential skill, at their own peril. You see, in order to catch a bad guy (Corporate America, in this case), you need camouflage. Admit it, everybody takes their foot of the throttle, when they see a cop car with a rack, right? Even if they're not speeding. It's simply human nature. So the best way to hunt the speeders, is with an unmarked car. Wouldn't you agree? In his debut successful film, Michael Moore must resort to concealed 8mm cameras hidden in a briefcase. That's why the look of his films appear "unprofessional". But it is how he catches the "liars" at their game; spitting out 75mph lies in a 25mph zone.

What's Good for GM is not Good for Flint and the Country

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Great film. I have seen or purchased all of Michael Moore's films. He is a comic genius, and courageous to bring all of these subjects to the forefront. I live in Michigan and have seen first hand the devastation wrought by the auto industry, offshoring in search of low wages, billions of dollars in profits for shareholders, and the extortion of demanding wage and benefit cuts from unions here under the threat of more offshoring.
Thanks to Michael Moore for taking them on, and for getting his independent films into the mainstream.

A Humorous and Satirical Classic

November 11, 2007

Format: DVDVerified Purchase

Roger and Me launched Michael Moore's career. He has mastered the art of using humor to make serious social and political commentary. While some of his movies have treaded on controversial grounds, this one just asks a simple question. Is it right for corporate CEO's to accept lavish salaries and huge raises while their company loses money and exports jobs overseas? If you find this to be a reasonable question, you won't find Roger and Me politically objectionable. You'll admire how this master of the documentary can use humor to bring the rich and famous down to size. Two big thumbs up for Roger and Me. Watch Me

Shows what can happen if you are laid off from the auto industry. Also shows what a jerk the CEO can be when you do get laid off. Very entertaining and enjoyable. Anyone will like watching this Michael Moore movie.
