Interesting comments. I don't have much to say, but I'd like to point out that nothing should be automatically taken at face value. If you go to see this film and come out of the theater, buttery hands and all, and think you saw 'truth', then you need to wake up. In an interview with Peter Rose Moore explained that if nothing else, he wanted people, of all political spectrums, to see the movie and cause conversation and debate. That, I think, is the most intelligent thing I've heard Mr. Moore say. I'll see this movie, and decide, but his last movie was waaay too cheesy for me. There were so many stretches in that one.
To comment on the idea of why he should use movie-making as a venue for his propoganda, why not? To point out - in the beginnings of this thread people were talking about movie to music ratio, and people are saying they own hundreds of movies. This country is all about entertainment. What better way to 'reach' the public than through movies?
On another note, I did hear from a review on Ebert and Roeper that someone is coming out with a movie that rips on Roger Moore. I'll definitely be seeing that one too.
Oh, and a personal thought: I think Mr. Moore needs address his excesses too, and get on a diet. That man is always talking about responsibilities. In my mind, his views may carry more weight if he weren't so obese. That's just my opinion.
