Just saw it.
You know, Bush may not be the brightest bulb out there, but nobody is as stupid as the American citizen, in the eyes of Michael Moore.
Never have I seen a more shameful example of audience-targeted propeganda. This guy does for Liberal Bush Haters what Howard Stern does for porn addicts--only the porn addicts know that they're being entertained and might actually be conscious of the fact that the world doesn't necessarily revolve around their addiction. For the audience that this movie was made, they get exactly that they need when they buy the ticket--affirmation of their 2 dimensional political views, spurred on by emotional moments with families of killed servicepeople juxtaposed with out-of-context commentary by anyone willing to make a accusation, no matter what their qualification(the two ladies in the retirement home were my favorite. Never before were there two people with their middle and index fingers in tighter contact with the pulse of reality).
At the very end of the movie, Moore comments on the inherent folly of a hierarchical society. How it lives only to maintain the status quo, marginalizing the poor while securing the futures for the rich... Here's a question:
How much of the profits from this flick are going to the families he spent so much time filming as they cried for their children killed in the war?
On a side note. I also watched Bowling for Columbine today on TV. Very interesting parallel between some of the things he said about Clinton's actions in Kosovo and Bush's actions in The Middle East. The exact quote was 'The president bombed another country whose name we cannot pronounce'... Which president was he talking about? Easy... The one in the White House. In which movie did the quote appear? Easier... The One Michael Moore produced.
