When Hollywood Attacks, America


iconJennifer Harper of the Washington Times reports that Hollywood is planning on going to the mat this political season, and they'll be targeting Americans with political John Kerry advertisements and George Bush hit pieces disguised as entertainment.

Hollywood's nimble liberals are at work crafting a well-timed cultural salvo against President Bush and those who support his campaign.

Efforts from Michael Moore and other filmmakers who criticize Mr. Bush and laud his Democratic opponent Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts will reach the public beginning in June, culminating just as voters head toward the polls in November.

From Dick Clarke's movie rights to Michael Moore's planned offering about September 11th, Hollywood liberals will be doing their best to make sure George Bush loses in November.
Mr. Moore intends to release a documentary called "Fahrenheit 9/11" - subtitled "The Temperature When Freedom Burns" - to theaters this fall, said "to contain explosive info about Bush," according to this week's Variety.

The film examines "what happened to the country after September 11 and how the Bush administration used the tragic event to push its agenda," the filmmaker told the entertainment weekly in a separate interview.

It also traces "why the U.S. has become a target for hatred and terrorism" and depicts "alleged dealings between two generations of the Bush and bin Laden clans that led to George W. Bush and Osama bin Laden becoming mortal enemies."

Not only is Moore appealing to the Bush-haters, but he's going to try to capture the blame America first crowd as well.

I'm reminded of the film Dances with Wolves. When I walked out of the theater (after 3 and a half long boring hours), I remember thinking that the film didn't portray Americans in a very good light. Whether or not the storyline had a ring of truth to it didn't really matter. I don't go out to the movies to come out with a feeling of self loathing. If my personal feelings are any measure of how mainstream America would feel, I don't see Moore getting the positive response that he's hoping for.

I guess the films could turn out to be critical successes. But they are deliberately dated, and I don't see them standing the test of time.

I have personal knowedge of the character of Michael Moore. He still owes a cousin of mine more than a few thousand dollars for the production of, "Rodger and ME",. To date this money has not been repaid as far as I know.
