I got sick of the smooth talk in that link.

I think maybe I might see the film so I can form my own opinion.

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

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">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.

Then, while pointing the "Miramax" owners out, you might look into the alignment of the author of the piece as well. Since the piece DOES deal with political material, it tends to polarize a lot of powerful people...especially ones with their hands "under the table" or those who need to "suck up" in order to maintain their status.

Hey Slynky, don’t dish the cred of Christopher Hitchens (the author) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Uh, I think you probably misheard this part. He might have said it's not balanced. Moore has never hidden the fact that he has an agenda. But everybody has their own agenda, some are just more upfront about it then others. Of course there have been and will continue to be people saying the movie contains distortions or lies, but I would be very suprised to hear Moore himself say the film is anything less then honest.

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

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Well... I don't think it's the political bias he's criticising in people like George Bush- it's the business 'bias' he seems to display in some of his political dealings.

Politics should be politics, business should be business. Whenever either one visits the other, it leaves the door wide open for corruption to follow...
