Now, while browsing a forum, I saw a line quoted from a movie, Sicko, and I remembered acquiring a copy of the movie, and so out of curiosity I decided to finally watch it (after all, I have it, and it’s an odd day off).

From the intro, I could I tell that there was something… different about the movie. At first glance a while back ago, I had figured this movie would be a perverted attempt at something. At the opening scene my stomach almost turned as I thought that this would prove correct (the leg thing). But as the movie progressed, I quickly fell in love with it.

The message of this movie is a powerful one, and the way it is set up is so… amazing, so professional, so… perfect. I found myself laughing, crying, and excited to really try to get my faith back in humanity. There really is some good in the world, though being a lower middle class resident in southern America kind of makes things seem otherwise.

I really feel this is a movie all Americans should watch; I feel obliged to say so.

This movie explores in depths the evil of the American system, and how this false dream perpetuates the cycle of fear, depression, and compliance to a system that should have never came to be. It really makes me wonder, who are we? Why are we doing this to ourselves? This movie takes an in-depth look at how the US medicare system measures up to much more efficient health care systems the world over; I was shocked at how everything the American media and government says is “the wrong way” is truly billions of times more efficient and fair than the American government; which clearly and shamelessly bastardized 9/11 volunteers, spitting in their face and leaving them to cope with the problems generated by lending a helping hand on - problems that Michael Moore solved by taking the same volunteers to Cuba, where they got instant health care and medical attention - for free.

This movie easily made my top 10 of all time.
