THE HERALD Wednesday 1990 Page Entertainment Movie Review Roger and Me a caustic comment By NADEAU Herald Special Roger and Me is director Michael Moore s caustic comment on General Motors the largest and to him the most heartless cor poration in the world Several years ago GM the home company and pride of Flint Michigan closed down a bunch of plants laying off 30 people Ac cording to Moore this was done not because of profit losses and a troubled economy but because Roger Smith GM s chairman and Roger of the title decided that profit came before people and moved the plants down to Mexico and pathetically cheap labor This left Flint utterly devastated as Moore camera records The documentary traces the ef fects of the job losses on a once pro ud and prosperous town and the job changes desperate auto workers were forced to make It also follows Moore ineffectual at tempts to meet Roger Smith and gel him to spend the day with him in Flint where he might see families being evicted from their homes on Christmas Eve There are two things that made this documentary such a sleeper hit last year Moore s delicious wit and the raw pain of the workers he films Moore a Flint native has a flair for comic com and can spot ludicrous cliches a mile away listen to Anita Theatre New faces at Little Theatre By SIHONA WATSON Georgetown Little Theatre pro presents New Faces ing Alin Caplcs

can However the film is flawed by its terribly one sided viewpoint and apparently Moore made a few adjustments in his chronology in order to give the story more impact Reagan made his visit before his election thus years before the layoffs not in the midst of them The story is sad enough it really wasn necessary for Moore to pad it at all By making factual errors he undermines his argument and his film We know from the outset whose side he s on and there is nothing wrong with that however scrupulous honesty and attention to facts make for much more effective condemnation of one enemy than rearranging things to suit one own Moore should have known this and this flaw makes Roger and Me a less than indictment of GM But il is certainly funny and totally watchable which so many documentaries just And with the Ford strike looming large in news this a timely video to take out This video was supplied through ihciourtrsj TRY OUR NEW DELIVERY SERVICE GOOEY GOOD I 308 St 873 1651
