    I really like this one, too but Sicko really hit a nerve and bias or not, it brought up so many huge points.

    I just question alot of his so called evidence in his latest films. I am not sure whether I should trust him or not. He seems to get worse and worse about lying with each film. I still have to say that basically every documentary he has done could be included amongst my favorites.

    ... so gross but to make the point....

    that being so poor from the plant shut down that this woman was eating and selling rabbits...

    why is some who is poor trash??? just wondering??? Ive know people with big cash ( and teeth ) that are so rude and crude, I wouldnt want them for my friend... Them I know people whom have nothing ( no teeth ) whom would give you their last penny if you needed it???

    Hmmm... wondering about people profiling people and making the assumption people are trash because of the car they drive, house they live in or clothes they wear?

    Sorry.. I have a problem with that and its worse than racism, and I know its another forum...

    Um...I didn't say anything about economic class or social status, I just said I hate the rabbit-skinning scene. It grosses me out and makes me sad. That's all.

    It wasnt just because she was poor, she was a bit crazy as well.

    Basically the female equivalent of this

    the rabbit scene didn't bother me at all.. but then eating rabbit is common on continental Europe (used to be in the UK too my British friends tell me), and I've seen rabbit skinned before, in the flesh so to speak.

    Just saw this film on one of the movie channels the other night!

    It was a very interesting film!

    I liked it better than the new fluff, Sicko!

    right. which is probably why it's my favorite. it was john candy's last movie.. about a president who starts a war with canada to boost his ratings and stuff. it's pretty funny.. it does a good job of making fun of gun toting war mongering americans, but also has a lot of fun canadian stereotypes

    Despite some of the debatable figures in Sicko, he made so many strong points based on people's experiences alone that made the film so powerful. This healthcare system has an ungodly amount of horrible problems.

    The funniest thing in the film was Flints attempts to bring tourism into the town. I was laughing so hard at the Six Flags Auto World.

    I agree, just didn't like the film. It was depressing to watch.
