Michael Moore

What shall we do with the Democrat's Leni Riefenstahl?

So I'm cruising down a list of  The world's 40 best directors, making inexpert judgments here and there.  The Coen brothers should be number 1, not 3, but that's a quibble.  I'm glad to see that Tarantino didn't show up until 19; gives the list an air of legitimacy.  No Opie so far, that's good.  Whoa -WTF?  Michael Moore is the world's 28th best film director?  Whatever cachet the selection panel had built up is lost with the huge swooshing sound of  this turd being flushed. 28. Michael Moore You could say it's Moore's blend of humour, righteousness and persistence that has made his documentaries so successful, but his political commitment would be nothing without the film-making skills to back it up. Bowling for Columbine has been one of the most influential films of recent years, affecting the public in a way that most directors on this list will never know, but it would never have become such a cause had it not been so rigorously researched, painstakingly constructed and broadly entertaining. Through Moore we are able to document the slide left media have taken in just a very short time.  I don't just mean film;  news business  muck-a-mucks will also happily swap imago Dei for imitatio dei if  it suits their political dogma.  Moore's 1989 signature movie,  Roger & Me, was rejected for Best Documentary consideration because it wasn't.  Moore manipulated time sequences in order to support his socialist attack on GM CEO Roger Smith.  By 2002 the industry had joined Moore in his mission, and gave him a Best Documentary Oscar for  Bowling for Columbine.  David T. Hardy [Michael Moore Exposed] does his own documentary work  on Moore's movie making.  "The point is not that Bowling is biased. No, the point is that Bowling is deliberately, seriously, and consistently deceptive." By 2005, Hollywood was so invested in leftist politics that Razzie awards, given for the year's worst film accomplishments, included these cameos from Moore's brazenly fatuous Fahrenheit 9/11. Worst Actor   Winner:   Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) - George W. Bush Worst Supporting Actor   Winner:   Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) - Donald Rumsfeld Worst Screen Couple   Winner:   Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) - George W. Bush; Condoleezza Rice; "His Pet Goat" - George W. Bush & EITHER Condoleeza Rice OR His Pet Goat. Michael Moore may be admired for his directing accomplishments, but to make the claim that anything he's done bears the fruit of ''heavy research,'' is farcical.  He is, in point of fact, the Democrat party's Leni Riefenstahl.  Hopefully, some day he, and his clients, will dance on the gibbet together, because together that have rendered honest public debate DOA.
