This blog post is to give a look into the film “Where to Invade Next.” This will be done by both giving a summary of the film, as well as providing a rhetorical analysis of it. This will connect to my research paper, seeing as the film is one of my primary sources. In the documentary Where to Invade Next, Michael Moore visits many different counties so he can “Invade” them to “steal their ideas” so he can bring them back to America to make it a better country. He visits many places such as Portugal, Finland, and Germany to see how they work. For instance, he “invaded” Portugal to find out that they had de criminalized drugs in their country, which caused a steep decline in drug use. While this was explained, Moore gave examples of how the drug system is flawed in the U.S. with how there are very harsh penalties that increase drug usage in the country. He then comedically sprawls on his notepad, and says that he will take this idea back with him to the U.S. He repeats this process for other countries, such as how Finland, and how their prison system works. He does this until we reach the end of the movie where he reveals the true intentions of the entire film. He shows that all these countries believe their ideals originally stemmed from the U.S. and that the U.S.’s changing fundamentals have made them stay into a path of destruction, that other countries can see, but we cannot.
