In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore the man himself deliberately put the pretty picture of shame into the minds of Americans. He did just this by being the “invader” himself, traveling around the world to different countries. Such as Italy, France, Finland, Slovenia, Germany, Portugal, Norway, Tunisia and Iceland. While roaming the sidewalks of the empowered areas, his main purpose was to take some of there deep cultured wisdom, laws and rules and basically “steal” them.Then bringing them back to the U.S where the help is much needed. Whether you are to agree or disagree with his attempts to do so, the facts and the lives of these cultures were powerful and prominent. Most of the people who were interviewed by Moore were somewhat surprised of the things we as Americans do on an every day basis. Others were confused and almost afraid. The topics that were discussed ranged from, school lunches in France, to paid vacations in Italy, to the security in prisons in Norway, to college tuition in Germany, and to practice safe sex . Everything in between was just the icing on the political cake. The main purpose of this particular documentary was to mostly inform, but also to persuade the viewer to open his or her eyes to the difference in health, happiness, love in other cultures compared to the culture in America. Are they happier and/or healthier? Well that is for the viewer to decide. Moore decided to take matters into his own hands and discuss with multiple people ranging from police officers , to chefs, to doctors, to students and to everyday people form different cultures about how they think their rules and laws that they obey are more beneficial to their citizens. Most citizens in other cultures felt almost ashamed to talk about Americans because they stand in a different belief system. The invasion consisted of very blunt questions and actions that were answered very straight forward. Apparently our way of law and order is the wrong way and has stood in the wrong for many years, current and future. The invasion consisted of very blunt questions and actions that were answered very straight forward. But Moore had a plan. A plan to invade.
