More Fahrenheit 9/11 Brouhaha

The best thing about Fahrenheit 9/11 is that I've actually learned how to spell Fahrenheit.  The second best thing about it is that Moore was finally able to spell 9/11.  Here are some interesting tidbits about this film from around the globe.

• Moore's little flick has done very little to sway voters.
• In countries that were formerly part of the communist block, Fahrenheit 9/11 is perceived as propaganda and Michael Moore has been compared to Nazi filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl.  I don't know much, but I know that wasn't meant to be a compliment.
• Fahrenheit 9/11 has overshadowed at least one documentary that should have been given its props.
• Even French film critics realize the victory in Cannes is a complete joke.  (You have to read the whole article to see what I mean.)

Conclusion: If Moore's intent was to swing an election his way, he has utterly failed.  Experts in propaganda know propaganda when they see it.  Fahrenheit 9/11 will probably win an Oscar for Best Documentary when there are clearly better documentaries out there.  And finally, its critical merits are a complete and utter joke.  To further that last claim, see what a staunch Democrat had to say about it here.

I'm pretty non-political.  I've just found all this information interesting and felt like sharing it with you.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend!
