Michael Moore is not a mystery. It is a very clever man, clever, and with a clear vision of what things are and how they should be. And uses its large capacity and more effective ways to transform reality to their liking. He is intelligent and knows enough valid to override restrictions such as truth or intellectual honesty. What is to drag him to the masses; guide to where he wants to be and has stated more than once that his intention with his latest film Fahrenheit 9 / 11 is to throw George W. Bush’s power. An added reason for confidence in their success lies not only in their self-confidence, but in estolidez your audience. To Michael Moore, Americans “are possibly the dumbest people on the planet. Our stupidity is embarrassing. ” What is a mystery is precisely the public. It is difficult to explain how it is possible that there are people, and there are hundreds of thousands, delighted to leave the room after two hours of having been subjected to an intense session of manipulation and lies. People who see themselves as critical, such a reduction to nothing, perhaps because they like the message you are buying. In principle there are three possible explanations. One of them is partisanship, but should have little confidence in a belief that when you need him to lie reaffirmed. Another explanation is that Moore is a genius and hides in the most crude tape manipulations. That is partly true, as chosen by the naked lie even more than in his previous docuficción, Bowling for Columbine. But then after the applause resounded also passes, to manipulation, there were even more evident.
My explanation of the success of Fahrenheit 9 / 11 is on the other side. As Andrew Sullivan said brilliantly, the docuficción reminded of the Orwellian hate sessions of 1984, which George W. Bush makes the role of Goldstein. Hatred is the key. Feelings. Moore appealed to them, shaking and moving the viewer to feel so, a vast and inextinguishable hate, to set aside what they have critical capacity. Michael Moore fails to address the data, it has perverted, changed, hidden until you sick. Michael Moore fails to address the reasons, because it has shown its utter contempt for them, for example by accusing George W. Bush is one thing and the opposite in more than one occasion. The key is the filmmaker’s own feelings and come to his show in the film, as you will see. It comes from the central character of something he said or hurt that he lets on! Not let him fly where he wanted.
His style is already clearly established, both in his earlier films in his books What have you done with my country, man? and Stupid White Men (again, his utter contempt for the public, since the title is dedicated to his followers). With Fahrenheit 9 / 11 the technique has been refined since, although not leave aside the manipulation that can be discovered by the viewer chooses to impinge more on the simple and naked lie. Has learned from the criticisms of Bowling for Columbine and the experience has made him more skillful, more delicate, without being deprived of some clumsy handling. The issue is not trivial, because it has broken records for hearings, and has become the documentary (sic) most watched in history. Moore has become a genre in itself. What counts but Fahrenheit 9 / 11? What manipulates and lies and what actually chooses to appeal or make a reasonable analysis?
