We spent the first bit of class discussing the people in the film Michael Moore would like us to view in a negative light (Charlton Heston, the bank that gives away guns when you open an account, James Nichols) and those he would like us to listen to and/or admire (Matt Stone). We talked about the techniques Moore uses to persuade his audience, like editing of interviews, asking targetted questions, and purposely omitting information.
We then continued watching the film, with the goal of determining Moore's message. We will conclude the film and prepare a set of notes for our paragraphs on Tuesday.
