There's an old joke in Europe that says that "Americans start wars to learn geography". Americans are still pretty proud of who they are, even if they can't find Afghanistan on a map, or spell it. I liken them to passengers on the Titanic who didn't seem to notice anything was wrong until the water was swirling around their necks. Nothing seems to bother Americans. Nothing except movies that criticize them.
There's a history of American movies propagandizing their audience into a dull and fuzzy notion of themselves. The Sci-Fi epic "Independence Day" not only had a president who could spell, he could actually lead the whole world against a incoming hoard of...ahem, illegal aliens. When this president landed his fighter jet, there weren't any premature declarations of "Mission Accomplished".
While Americans are used to eating unhealthy, they're aren't quite used to eating this new stuff called Humble-Pie. Mic-hael Moore shoves it down their pie-holes with a shovel. I've never seen anything quite like it. The Cubans, who know what it's like to be on the receiving end of American "good will", have been enjoying this latest film in droves. All though Michael Moore is making a fortune from Capitalism and risks looking a little hypocritical, I say "why not"? It's not like he's an American banker, CEO or politician. He actually WORKS for his money.
