Michael Moore : Save Our CEO's

The controversial director and producer of "Bowling for Columbine", "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Sicko", three of the top five highest-grossing documentaries of all times, started to promote his new movie in a unique way through a teaser trailer shown in several cinema halls in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Washington DC with a smart monologue and a box engraved with the name of his documentary.

Michael Moore jokingly beseeches the Americans, in his prerecorded message, to donate money to the bankrupt companies in the U.S., virtually responsible for triggering the global economic crisis. As if that was not enough, volunteer ushers entered the theaters with collection jars asking audience members to contribute. Unsurprisingly, nobody seemed eager to do so.

His criticism of capitalism, globalization and large corporations is nothing new, but the "Save our CEO's" movie scheduled to appear in theaters on October 2 that will explore the causes of the global economic crisis, the great United States Banking Institutions who asked for huge Government bailout "loans" and "the biggest robbery in the history of this country"-the massive transfer of U.S. taxpayer money to private financial institutions is promising to be a an instant hit due to the current economic down turn.

The film doesn't have a title yet, though many chose to call it "Save our CEO's "due to the popularity of its promotional campaign.

At the recent Cannes film festival, Michael Moore revealed the main thesis of his documentary: "The wealthy," explained the successful nonfiction filmmaker that became one of the world's 100 most influential people (named so by Time magazine in 2005), "at some point decided they didn't have enough wealth. They wanted more-a lot more. So they systematically set about to fleece the American people out of their hard-earned money. Now, why would they do this? That is what I seek to discover in this movie."

"The movie is not going to be an economics lesson; it's going to be more like a vampire movie," Michael Moore told USA Today a couple of days ago. "Instead of the main characters feasting on the blood of their victims, they feast on the money. And they never seem to get enough of it." He continued, in the paper, "If you go to see my movies, even if you don't agree with everything in the movies, you're going to have a good laugh."

Heavy stuff about the economic meltdown or simply a good laugh, everybody is waiting with baited breath to see "Save our CEO's", the latest incendiary documentary made by Michael Moore.

Excerpt from the documentary teaser trailer:

"Hi, I'm Michael Moore. Instead of using this time to tell you about my new movie I'd like to take a moment and ask you to join me in helping our fellow Americans. The downturn in the economy has hurt many people, people who have had no choice but to go on government assistance. Yet our welfare agencies can only do so much. That's why I'm asking you to reach into your pockets right now and lend a hand. Ushers will be coming down the aisles to collect your donations for Citibank, Bank of America, AIG, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and a host of other needy banks and corporations. Won't you please give generously? Now, I know what you're thinking - I already gave at the bailout. And I know you did, but even if you've given in the past, give some more. It will make you feel... good."
