Well, there are many who have commented upon the unusually polarized tone in Washington D.C. and the country this year. Nothing brings this point home more directly than
Michael Moore's new film
Fahrenheit 911. What is significant about the film is
not the content - Mr. Moore has always been an unabashed liberal always looking to stir things up. What is significant is the timing of the film - right in the heat of the presidential election. In the past, Hollywood has felt free to make political statements, but they have also tried to stay out of taking sides in an election. Now the movie rumor site
Ain't It Cool News has the
first review of this controversial film.
(Warning: The review contains profanity and an overly-partisan tone.)The review? Brilliant. Hilarious. And creepy freakin' scary! ...A flip-flopping liar and incompetent leader, Bush and his corrupt administration are revealed in all their inglorious ugliness. Moore goes into the history of the Bush family and the long ties to the Saudi royalty and their oil empire...
I am no fan of Mr. Moore's politics, but he is a consummate showman.
If he can find a distributor, it will be fascinating to watch this modern red journalist and descendant of P.T. Barnum to see if this film seals his place in history or relegates him to the dustbin of politics. Either way, he is sure to fan the flames of partisanship on both sides of the aisle.
