Oh good, I was always hoping that Leni Riefenstahl would make a sequel to ‘The Fuhrer Gives a Village to the Jews.’, so that I could know what happened to those people in their village.
Yeah, but learning generally comes from an honest telling. Not something one can expect from Michael Moore.
I’m sure you’re trying to make some kind of point here . . . Riefenstahl never made any such movie . . . if this is supposed to be a joke, try again.
I suppose so, but it’s disingenuous to for him to claim he’s only trying to show the truth if it’s just going to be a 120 minute “Bush is evil” wankfest. Now, were he to take the Bush administration out of the equation and focus on something else, like the subcontractors who are getting rich off this war like C&B suggested, then that’s one thing. But if it’s a complete retread of the first movie (Bush lied! People died!), then it’s nothing more than a grab a more $$$.
Your point taken, but just so you know, it was directed by Kurt Gerron, who was then murdered at Auschwitz.
“The Fuehrer Gives a City…” was a propaganda film made by the Nazis to show how wonderful life was at the concentration camp Thereisenstadt. It was, as you can imagine, a giant outrageous lie.
Mswas is obviously drawing an analogy there.
Ah. Such an analogy would better be applied to Fox News coverage of postwar Iraq.
Some telling clips of which you can view in Outfoxed. (Not a Moore project.) Whoever made “The Fuhrer Gives a Village” would have fit right in at Fox.
I just don’t understand why anyone respects such obvious crap.
…And why shouldn’t there be a ‘vendetta’ against George Fucking Idiot Bush? The man (term used loosely) deserves everything that comes his way.
I dunno either, but judging by results, Murdoch and Ailes must’ve done some sort of market research before they started the network.
I meant Moore, but yeah, that too.
Michael Moore does more to convince people that Leftists are buffoons than anyone else. He’s worth ten Rush Limbaughs.
Like I had said, Gerron was a Jewish prisoner at Thereisenstadt who was forced to direct the propaganda piece, and who, soon after it was completed, was sent to Auschwitz with the rest of the inhabitants of Thereisenstadt. So can we please stop insulting the poor man, who’s guilty of nothing else than being forced to make a propaganda piece by a regime that went on to kill him?
There’s zero buffoonery in F-911, except for W’s own. What film are you referring to? Bowling for Columbine, perhaps?
No, he assumed that he would get a standing ovation because he (correctly) assumed that Hollywood has a majority population among its celebrity contingent of anti-war liberals. That’s pandering. The fact that there were people present who weren’t among the anti-war crowd just means that the celebrity/noncelebrity ratio wasn’t as low as he’d thought.
ROFL! Sure, whatever you say, bub.
Whatever you say, Nate!
Sorry, momma told me not to take links from strangers.
There was a possibility–a really slim one–that this thread wouldn’t have ended up in GD territory, but I think we zoomed right on by that. Off to GD.
There’s something odd about that. According to Moore (denied by all the press), there was little booing. Here’s what Roger Ebert wrote about the incident in the Sun-Times, April 6, 2003 (emphasis added).
So in Moore’s own mind, there was no courage involved.
