More From Michael Moore

When the three branches of government have failed to represent the citizenry and the mass of the media has failed to represent the citizenry, then the citizenry better represent the citizenry.
Media Government Branches
The so-called liberals of today have the very popular idea that freedom of speech, of thought, of the press, freedom of religion, freedom from imprisonment without trial-that all these freedoms can be preserved in the absence of what is called economic freedom. they do not realize that, in a system where there is no market, where the government directs everything, all those other freedoms are illusory, even if they are made into laws and written up in constitutions.

And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive

It's a different rhythm than most movies. for a lot of the actors, you're 12,000 miles away from home. it becomes a way of life - getting up at five in the morning, shooting every day, day in day out, for 270 days. the new cast playing the dwarves were carrying incredibly heavy weights in their suits, they sat through hours of make-up every day. so it's quite challenging from a stamina point of view.
