  • Cannes : The Palme d'or awarded to an american movie

    I have not yet seen this movie, but I understood that it is a kind of apologia of a recent US President by a witty M.Moore.
    Statistical anomaly.
    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

    Well, you can't say you're surprised.

    Personally, Michael Moore is somewhat revolting to me. He's too much of a stereotypical american.

        Michael Moore - tells it like it is
        Cannes - should reward the quality of the film, not its message

            I'm sure its very worthy. But I'm also sure I don't need to see it to know that it is far from the standard expected of a Palme d'Or winner.

              I have not seen it - but I have read something about it.

              Is SEEMS like it has deserved that price - it hits its target. On the other hand, the US just invite themself now-a-days.

                    "Palme D'Or" sounds like the Swedish police would spend 20 years trying to decide whether it should or should not be awarded to Christer Petterson.
                    "Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
                    "That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the world

                      Good show. French support of Bush criticism will definitely increase his reelection chances.
                      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                            Damn it...the title should be "Michael Moore wins top Cannes prize"...I didn't even notice this thread and I had to go searched to find it after I found the news.

                            No one's gonna read this and I bet there will be at least one copycat thread

                              It's the Canadian stereotype of an american, too.

                              It's also the truth.
