SLACKER UPRISING has a different feel than Moore`s previous efforts. It`s a little less polished, but there`s no less enthusiasm for the subject on Moore`s part. Even more than in his earlier films such as BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE, the director is clearly the star here. This documentary feels like a hybrid of a political film and a rockumentary, with celebrities as varied as Eddie Vedder, Viggo Mortensen, and Roseanne Barr all making appearances to show their support for the cause. However, it`s Moore who spends the most time on the stage, passionately pleading his anti-Bush case. George W. Bush comes across as just as much of a villain as he did in FAHRENHEIT 9/11, but the goal here isn`t to oust Bush. Instead, the film`s initial release was timed to come six weeks before the 2008 presidential election, and SLACKER UPRISING serves as a reminder of just how close the 2004 election was.
Après la réélection de George W. Bush à la Maison Blanche, Michael Moore décide de réaliser une suite à son documentaire Fahrenheit 9/11, dans l`optique d`éclairer une nouvelle fois le peuple américain sur son gouvernement. Il s`intéresse cette fois plus particulièrement au comptage des votes et incite les américains à voter en passant dans plusieurs états.
