Moore Madness

In class, we saw Michael Moore’s movie “Fahrenheit 9/11”. Here’s some stuff I noticed:

-Michael Moore is gleefully partisan and obnoxious. Half of the movie seems to be narrated in sarcasm and with a huge dollop of cynicism. When he’s not compiling footage that mocks Bush, he’s riding around in an ice cream truck with a bullhorn reading the Partriot Act. Such silliness shows his contempt and explains his condescending attitude that he uses to confront both the administration and his audience.
-This film was well put together. I think I even heard Philip Glass music, or at least what sounded like Philip Glass music. This film did win the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 2004. But although it might have won the battle, it lost the war (election).
-Michael Moore’s subliminal messages weren’t very effective. This is probably due to the tapwater, which the government infuses chemicals that form robots in the brain. The primary function of these robots is to keep the mass controlled populace unalerted to the fact that their water is being tampered with. A secondary effect of these robots might be to block propaganda by such dissidents as Michael Moore.
-A lot of times Michael Moore inadvertently interviewed automatons instead of real people with souls. Automatons are basically robots made of human flesh that serve the global hegemony by infiltrating almost all facets of society. Only a trained eye can spot an automaton from a real human though, so I can’t be too harsh on him.
