Who knew...

Is he a revolutionary?

Who knew that a movie could be used so well to change the way people think.

This actually speaks to a greater problem. That I mentioned in an entry called "Why do we care?"

Here's the bottomline. Americans want to be entertained. They want entertainment with no substance because if there was substance we would have to think. And no one wants to do that. Fahrenheit 9/11 while being a solid documentary that scratches the surface but it is still entertainment. Let us not be fooled into thinking that this movie is gospel. The facts are presented in a way to bring about a reaction of anger as if to say "How did we let this happen?" The truth is we never had any control to begin with.

Michael Moore and others are using their cameras because books, teachers and general discourse have failed in this country. The average American doesn't read they watch TV and believe what they hear on the news without looking into the facts.
