Farenheit 9/11
Watching: Farenheit 9/11
Listening: Prince, Musicology
I thought Michael Moore’s “Farenheit 9/11” was rather brilliant. Although it dragged in some parts, it impressed because of the way that he managed to present cinematically a potetially boring, text-centered issue. Most of what he shows comes from documents that have been in the public domain for some time. He weaves these together in a dramatic blitz of information with his signature humor. There wasn’t much in the film I hadn’t heard about or read about previously but it was touching and hilarious. I mean, shit, we’ve all forgotten the pre-9/11 W. The man who golfed more than he presided. The most hysterical scene was showing W.’s immediate reaction to 9/11. Moore also slowed down pretty much ever facial expression we had of W. so that it looked like he was either incredibly sly, devious, and self-interested or he was incredibly retarded.
It still didn’t convince Steve, though. Ah, well.
Admittedly it was just a lengthy “dont re-elect Bush” campaign ad, but that’s fine by me.
Steve says it’s the left’s Passion of the Christ. *snicker*
Well, Baton Rouge theaters weren’t packed, but the film still has a draw. Yay.
I think I’m done setting up my blog. BlogSpot does not make blog posting easy unless you use Explorer.
Bleh. MS is everywhere. It sucks.
