Michael Moore is an award-winning American director, author, and political commentator. He has spent over a decade making controversial movie documentaries about the problems in American society. He is especially critical of the presidency of President George W. Bush. He has also criticized globalization and large corporations, gun ownership and the American health care system.
邁克爾·摩爾是一名美國獲獎導演、作者以及政治評論員。數十年間，他創作了許多關于美國社會的電影紀錄片，且一直爭議不斷。尤其是對總統喬治·布什的批判。此外，他還對全球化、大集團、槍支所有權以及美國醫療體制發表言論。
Moore is the director and producer of three of the top five money-making documentaries of all time. ‘Fahrenheit 9/11’ examined the political climate after the 2001 attacks; ‘Sicko’ highlighted the ills of American healthcare; and ‘Bowling for Columbine’ probed America’s widespread gun culture and its relation to violence. He uses a mixture of hard-hitting fact and humour in all of his work.
在史上五大最賺錢紀錄片中，摩爾導演兼制作的紀錄片就有三部。2001年9·11之后，《華氏911》反映了當時的政治氣氛；《醫療內幕》反應了美國醫療體系弊端；《科倫拜校園事件》對深遠的槍支文化，槍支暴力進行了剖析。在所有作品中，真實的事實總是與詼諧相映成趣。
Moore became famous in 1989 for his film ‘Roger and Me’. It was about what happened to his hometown after General Motors closed its car factories there and opened new ones in Mexico. ‘Roger’ is Roger B. Smith, former CEO of General Motors. The film established Moore as a teller of uncomfortable truths about his nation and a serious investigative journalist and filmmaker.
1989年，摩爾拍攝《羅杰和我》，并一舉成名。故事講述的是“通用”關閉工廠，前往墨西哥建廠之后，摩爾家鄉所發生的變化。“羅杰”指的是“通用”前首席執行官羅杰·史密斯。通過這部電影，摩爾成為了一名敘述者，事件描述毫不諱言，有時讓人無法接受，此外，他還是一名調查記者及電影制作人。
In 2005 Time magazine named him one of the world's 100 most influential people. His appetite for making movies and writing about society seems as strong as ever. He has earned a reputation as being America’s most fearless social critic. He will surely make more movies on the major issues of our time and at the same time fight for the small man.
2005年，《時代周刊》評選他為全球一百位最具影響力人物。他對拍攝電影，批判社會現象的追求從未消減。并享有“全美最膽大社會批判家”稱號。無疑，他的電影仍將反應當今重大問題，同時為普通民眾爭取權利。
