First Reactions to Fahrenheit 9/11
Posted on May 18, 2004
A few interesting comments in an article in the nytimes regarding reaction to Michael Moore's new film premiering at the Cannes Film Festival.
Mr. Moore may be a frequent sight in Cannes, but one of the most striking things about "Fahrenheit 9/11" is how little he appears in it. One complaint about some of his early films — my main complaint about "Bowling for Columbine," at any rate — was that he sometimes gets in the way of his own arguments by making his films too much about himself.
I hear this a lot as one of the main criticisms of Moore's films almost making himself the center of attention instead of the issue he is trying to shed light on. But sounds like he's listened to the critics and taken a different road with his new one.
and this
The audience at the afternoon gala screening responded with a 20-minute standing ovation that the festival's artistic director, Thierry Frémaux, said was the longest he had ever witnessed in Cannes.
Leave a comment.
i really hope they just leave him alone. i love what he's doing i dont want to see him directing or even doing a comic to movie deal, i love him as he is.
