Subject: RE: BS: REVIEW Fahrenheit 9/11
I am hoping to see the film tomorrow. Not having seen it as yet but only having read about it and listened to interviews regarding the film I think Moore makes it quite plain that his intent was one thing and one thing only----get rid of GWB. And I don't mean the Geo Washington Bridge. He admits to its blatant bias in that area.
The Republicans are falling for the bait by trying to stop his advertising of the film. Ban something and they will come is a better slogan than Build It and They Will Come.
I admit to not being a great Moore fan when it comes to film making (I preferred the film maker of Fog of War for documentary) but I surely do admire his intensity and since I am part of the choir I am probably biased as well.
As to his award at Cannes. Not having seen the film as yet nor any others at that venue I am guessing that it had something to do with making a political anti-Bush statement by the panel.
