Fahrenheit 9/11
Michael Moore.
The problem with this guy is he reminds me of somebody else - a guy I know who frequents the Zen and Tao Acoustic Cafe - generally an all right person, albeit a little jaded - and extremely left-winged. Which is all right, I mean, we both generally agree on the same issues. The only problem is this guy eternally stinks of weed and is just generally obnoxious about his opinion. Very loud-mouthed, rude, and blatant about both his political beliefs. Problem is, any respectable stand he might try to make is completely undermined by his glassy-eyed stare and his pot stink. I mean, he's just not credible. He's not the guy I want as a spokesman for my cause.
That's exactly what Michael Moore is. I don't know if Mike stinks of pot or not, but I can safely say that his opinion is obnoxious and no matter if you lean left or right you can not deny that this film, like Bowling for Columbine, is
propaganda. Nothing more.
And I hate propoganda.
However much I might agree or disagree, I am still wise enough to spot blatant, pointless, and pandering propaganda. And that's what this movie is.
In fact, I don't see why it should have upset anybody at all. Because it's about as credible a political point of view as South Park.
And at least South Park is honest about being obnoxious. Michael Moore isn't even that: he's obnoxious and thinks he's being cute.
Well, enough said.
