Fahrenheit 9/11 finally
Tonight, finally got to see Fahrenheit 9/11 in one of the europlex theatres at Lausanne. Somehow it fell off my priority list after having missed the opening night. Anyway, had heard a lot about it and the way it is sweeping the theatres worldwide. And frankly, I was disapointed. It spent way too much time on some arbid people talking about loss of their son and stuff. I mean give it a break - killing of 15,000 iraqis and maiming and humiliating and orphaning hundreds of thousands only get some footage, and the killing machines - that is what i call the American military - gets so much of teardrops for loosing all of it's 821 men. Shameful.
But, then Moore is a much better business and showbiz man than I am. And clearly because of all these, his film has become so popular with Americans too. And hopefully will convince some of them to help US rejoin the world. But, I was looking for that burning-little-girl-in-Vietnam image captured in this documentary, so as to change the public opinion definitely as that image had done in Vietnam. And it failed.
