FILM: April 2008 Archives
I’ve always been a big fan of Michael Moore, the filmmaker.
From ‘Roger and Me’, to ‘Bowling For Columbine’, to ‘Farenheight-911’. The guy never ceases to provoke, entertain and to perhaps, enlighten. Granted, the guy has never had a problem completely obliterating the truth, but that’s not my point. He is a great filmmaker. AND… to make it all the more important, Moore’s films are DOCUMENTARIES. And, in a world of narrative filmmaking, however you stand politically, you have to give the guy even more credit.
Therefore, from a strictly (fictional) film-making’ stand point. The guy’s pretty good.
That said, I love filmmaking. I’ve studied Leni Riefenstahl to a degree that would make most Cambridge professors puke.
Does ‘that’ make me a Nazi? Of course not.
Does that make Leni a genius? Christ, yes.
No matter where you stand. As a filmmaker… She was incredible.
Point? If you have half a brain, then you can separate genius from virtue. Talent from morality. Moore from the truth and Strauss from a Nazi gas chamber.
Many of history’s greatest artists were pigs. Murdering filth like Che’ Guevarra are veritable golden calfs in Hollywood. Woody Allen fucks his own daughter.
Talented? Sure. But certainly not poster children for a better tomorrow.
And so, as an independent… I’m forced to think for myself. (And, therefore, criticized by those on both sides.)
But… I LOVE film.
Check this out.
Here is a film that had no script. Nothing other than the voice of it’s own insanity.
Everything that you ‘hear’, was recorded by the subjects themselves. No politics, other than that wished for by the subjects themselves. No video, but the video shot… by them. No message, but their own.
A message created by scum. Spoken by scum… Not a foul word. Nor a sliver of nudity.
And yet, censored by the media.
Unheard of.
