During the gastby party the rich say that they “felt bad” which is why they took it upon themselves to hire some of the flint residents to be statues at the party and it showed 2 people who were black and the only black people I saw through the party. Was that a way to make themselves feel better or did they generally think they were “helping”?

Notable scene:

When Michael Moore is “escorted to the 14th floor of General Motors' headquarters,” he sarcastically describes the experience. He makes it sound like a grand, almost elite occasion, as if he were being given special treatment. When in reality, it’s just security guiding him to a place where he won’t encounter General Motors Chairman Roger Smith.

Questions:

What did this film make you feel and why?

Did this film change how you view life in any way?

What is the significance of power in this film?

Was the point of the movie to highlight corrupt businesses or bring more attention to the Flint residents that needed help economically?
I would like to highlight the scene covering the interviews because the way the emotions were truly throguh suffering really helped elevate the use of pathos throughtout the movie.

The scene that was most notable to me was the woman playing golf who said the welfare program was good and people didn't want to work.
