Default Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War

An interesting take on this debate about this movie. MSN Article

Quote:
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery.
I also watched a few interviews with him and I have to say that he has said its not an honest film nor should it be taken as one. However, it is a film and not politics. The politics only reside in the minds of the people who watch the film.

It should be noted that the movie is being released by I think MiraMax and the two brothers who own that company are registared Democrats and JFK (Kerry) supporters.

I think it best that this movie be taken with a huge grain of salt and if seen, not taken seriously. It is after all, and again Moore said this, his opinion on things.

Is it worth the $8.50 price tag? Well I hope not.
