Fahrenheit 9/11

Just saw Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11”. It can all be summarized in a sentence: “It is all about the money.” Not that we didn’t know before, but it is good to be reminded. While he does use some questionable methods to convey his message (mothers crying for killed sons, footage of maimed soldiers, etc), Moore is still a good storyteller with a great sense of rythm that can make even a documentary about war and corruption as fun as the best of modern action films.

Unforgettable are the vendor of “safe rooms” stepping inside one of his 1m2 “rooms” saying “You can safely sit inside here and enjoy life while outside…” and Britney Spears, looking as blonde and gum-chewing as ever, stating that she completely trusts The President.
