  • I think this is a very important message you are helping to promote. Thank you for being an advocate for change to our heathcare system.

  • The film is much anticipated and is getting positive reviews from the left and the right.

    While the comments collected in this short film are quite interesting, the filmmaking seems needlessly rough and literal. The intro spends screen time showing the facade of the theater and the press area before the event, striking me as a bit amateurish. A better intro might be a static shot of the invited guests making their way in, with a voice-over setting up what the event is about.

    The on-camera interviewer might do better establishing eye-contact with those she is interviewing and might build a better rapport with her interviewees by not introducing them as "rich people." I suspect they don't consider themselves as being industrialists or as oppressors, which, at least to me, seems to be the connotation.

    Also the footage of Michael Moore, with the non-sync dialogue over it is too much of a "cheat." If you want to use his comments, they might work better as the VO with the intro I described earlier.

    Best of luck,

  • I liked this pod. In Canada there is a fully funded government health care system, yet there are many who are arguing that Canada currently has two-tiered
    health care where the “rich” can move to the front of the line at private clinics, while those who can’t afford that have to wait for treatment, sometimes months or years.

    Believe it or not, there are those who argue that the American system may be the way to go.

    Regarding the content, I liked the interviews. They were short to the point questions that elicited candid, if not expected, comments. Not much more you can expect.

    I was okay with how you used Mr. Moore’s voice, but I see js burman’s point,.


    I’ll be interested to hear how the US media handles this documentary and its impact on the national scene.

    On that note

    please take a moment to check out my latest POD, BIG MEDIA fails again and feel free to give it a GL if you like it.

  • Nice to hear brief substantive comments from celebrities who are often used to distract us from important issues.

    Check out Sister Beatrice Explores. She makes substantive comments about unsubstantive works...

  • While I LOVED the movie SICKO and am becoming passionate about the cause for U.S. universal health care, this pod is not television material.

    I'd rather see something more meaty than this. The lady interviewing needs to look at people in the eyes.

  • Thank you for your comment on my CAN ART piece... Your vote was NOT counted... PLEASE VOTE AGAIN... Thank you.

    I like this video. It's a good parallel to your behind-the-scenes piece.
