The Passion of Christ was awful. Mel Gibson is an ass.
I haven't seen Farenheight, but I think Michael Moore is untrustworthy and I'm just about as liberal as they come). He's very loose with the truth, and he takes cheap shots, like in Bowling for Columbine when he deliberately misrepresented himself to gain access to Charlton Heston's home only to start showing him pictures of dead kids and say, "What do you have to say about this?" The guy is more interested in pulling at your heartstrings to get you to change your position than just presenting something even attempting objectivity and letting the facts speak for themselves."
A girl I know recently described a scene from farenheight that she thought was really powerfull. Michael Moore approached Senators who supported the war in Iraq asking them if they would be willing to sign their kids up for the war? Does anybody see a problem with this? I simply refuse to believe that Michael Moore is unaware of the fact that Senators (or anybody else) cannot sign up there children, or anybody else, to serve in a war. You have to sign yourself up. That's the only way (barring a draft). Not only that, but what person would want their child to serve in ANY war, no matter how justified the war was? It's a loaded question and he knows it, but he also knows that it's effective. He wants to do his part to oust a dishonest administration, so he fights dishonesty with dishonesty.
Low.
Michael Moore may not tell many outright lies, but he has no problem deliberately misleading, and manipulating his viewers in order to achieve his goals. Even though I strongly identify with the cases he makes, I find his lack of ethics difficult to stomache.
