Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Roger & Me is Michael Moore's first film, released in 1989.Moore shows the deterioration of his hometown of Flint, Michigan, following the mass shutdowns of the General Motors factories to which it was home, and his own attempts to track down Roger Bonham Smith, General Motors CEO, and bring him to Flint to see the closures' impacts firsthand. While its accuracy is disputed (and let's say no more about that), the film became legend for its acerbic, poetic attacks on downsizing.The film was the highest-grossing non-concert documentary of all time upon its release (Moore's later films Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, among others, have since out-grossed it), earned the coveted 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and won an Emmy. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: The family evicted from their house at the end. Justified, as they were being kicked out near Christmas and the mother was adamant that she was all paid up. | |

| Roger & Me / int_9710c9a7 | comment |
Biopic: The first ten minutes of the documentary is about Moore's own life, from his childhood in greater Flint, to his work as a journalist at home and later in San Francisco, and his firing from Mother Jones magazine. The purpose of this is to show how important GM was to the rise of Flint, and underscore how much the city lost with the layoffs. | |

Anti-Climax | |
| Roger & Me / int_eeb4a5eb | comment |
Anti-Climax: In a way. Michael's interview with Roger, which he was building to the whole movie, is incredibly brief, as Michael only gets to ask him a few questions before Roger walks away. However, this also reinforces one of the points of the movie: That the rich are inaccessible and unsympathetic to the working class. | |
