Fuck, finally someone on here dissecting Moore with some intelligence instead of following him blindly like sheep just because he's anti-Bush. I'm anti-Bush, but I think Moore is disgusting. Maybe because I've helped make films and spent countless hours in the editing studio, I also see his techniques of twisting the half truths. Take BFC for instance........the most dramatic scene in the whole movie, when Heston was walking away from Moore at the end, from the interview, and Moore was calling out to him..................notice the camera angle switching to a FRONTAL shot of Moore.......the camera goes from being in behind of Moore and watching Heston walk off, to a shot of the camera being in front of Moore as Moore was pretending to address Heston...........confront him as he was walking away. It was pure theatre and pure bullshit...........Moore was really addressing NO ONE and was acting for the camera like he was addressing Heston yet still.
And you ppl who love him put your faith in someone who will, in the guise of a "documentary" (I feel you can't really call his films that), in its key moment, will basically lie to the viewer? He's dishonest at his core because HE IS A FANATIC. He, like Limbaugh, believes so deeply in his cause that he will twist facts or outright lie to make his point.
I don't put my faith in ppl such as this.
