Stupid White Man

'Fahrenheit 9/11' won the People's Choice award for favourite motion picture. I cannot understand this. Well I do understand why it won, half of the country hates Bush so F911 gets 50% of votes while other choices split the other 50%. But I mean I don't understand how anyone can actually like this movie. It does contain plenty of Republican bashing, but it isn't entertaining.

Take Roger & Me for instance, it really isn't a documentary since all the scenes are out of order to help him prove his point (ie. Reagan came to visit about 5 years before layoffs happened, but movie leads you to believe it happened after), but at least the movie is funny! How can you not enjoy that crazy rabbit lady, Miss Michigan attempting to say something intelligent, or the juxtaposition of "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys played up against scenes of a ravished Flint, Michigan. Sure Moore would have never been able to find Roger Smith at a yatch club that Roger Smith never was a member of, but it was fun to see him try. This movie was well made satire.

F911 just went on and on and on, with 'facts' that were obviously wrong without having to do any real fact checking. If someone can find one endearing quality about this film (other than "Bush Sux LOL"), please tell me in the comments because I am missing it. He takes advantage of soldiers and their families in their most desparate of states, just to show how evil the US is. Moore does say many times that he hates Bush not America, but this film is helping to fuel anti-American sentiment, especially here in Canada.
