Better than Fahrenheit 9/11?
Aug. 14th, 2004 09:21 am"Unlike the Michael Moore treatment in Fahrenheit 9-11, where images of the Deputy Secretary of Defense combing his hair with fresh spittle cheapen our horror while turning our stomachs, Hijacking Catastrophe is a working man’s treatment of 21st century American foreign policy – what it is, where it comes from, what it wants, what it costs, and how Americans might deal with it. In this regard, the final segments of the film focus on the need to fight fear domestically by engaging in a public debate on the war in Iraq, post 9-11 policies in general, and engendering a real national discussion about what America stands for and how she might more wisely relate to the world, and solve problems instead of creating them."
I want to see this.
We went to the Moore opus on the Fourth of July, and I was rather annoyed by it. Moore panders to the racial loyalties and antipathies of his target audience by pretending that the Republicans are some sort of front for the evil Arabs and their stooges in the oil industry while covering up the involvement of the Neocons, except as individuals, whose geopolitics are, shall I say, anti-Arab.
