Re: Completely OT : Cannes, Mickael Moore and the Iraq War
Rant to follow read at own risk. No offense intended so if you take offense, I am sorry.
Moore uses film as if it were a weapon. He yeilds it against those whom he does not like and he does this with dilibrate deception in mind.
I place no faith in any of his work as it is one sided and without counter point. So much so that even Disney decided after seening it to say enough is enough and ordered the distributer of the movie to pull it. Moore cries political involvment, but the truth is, his movie is simply not a documentary but rather a weapon designed to harm.
ONLY the French and those who love to hate America would consider this movie and the manusha that it shovels to be worthy of an award. That says a hell of a lot about them.
If Moore were a true film maker he would have made a documentary and not a one sided film designed to promote his own political agenda.
Shame on you Mr. Moore, shame on you!
I do not like the man, I do not like the mans movies, and I do not like the mans politics. He has done nothing in my opinion to redeem himself as a movie maker, and he has only promoted his movies as a tool to stir controversy and cause harm. He is a jerk, and I do sincerely hope that on the way home he decides to not come home.
EDIT:
The only reason Moore received the Palme d'Or was because his movie attacked Bush. I could give a rats arse about the other movies that have been given the Palme d'Or. Moores movie only received it because the French who chose to give the award did so as a political statement and for that they can take their award and sit on it as far as I am concerned!
They cheapend the award in my opinion, for little more than to make a political statement. Shame on the French!
