Fahrenheit 9/12: help me give it up already
i don't outright hate moore, like many do. i just think he's a film maker with his own opinions. his one line on a "daily show" appearance really struck home with me, saying that he was purposely being unfair, and that f911 wasn't (necessarily) the truth, per se, but rather his beliefs. he edited the film to make it look like his claims were accurate ... really no different than what, say, spielberg did in his retelling of the holocaust.
that, i think, should remove the "documentary" label applied to his films, as they're more so perspective pieces, that'd go in the "op ed" section of a newspaper. even the big man himself plopped his movie in the best film section at the awards show, rather than documentary.
but, all that said... its more than a little pompous to come out and say that everyone that disagreed with him, which is the majority of the country, is wrong and uneducated. thats actually not just pompous, but partially crazy. you'll note michael jackson has the same thoughts ... "no... you're being ignant..."
f9/11 was at least presented under the guise of a propoganda or campaigning measure. but despite moore's ideals, bush won again. but i think a 9/12 would come off more so as a "sour grapes" scenario.
let it go, boyo.
