heh, an ovation from people who believe britney spears deserves a standing O? that isnt worth spit from the bottom of my shoes. most of those movie/music stars are less educated than the average american in any case. [/QUOTE]But if they had of booed him, they would have been ok, right ? how dare he make a film that tells the people that the sun don't shine out of G Dubya's arse. [/QUOTE]I would have been shocked if they had booed. It is "politically correct", internationally speaking. It says we should never have gone to war in Iraq and is excessivily critical of George Bush (at least that's the implication I got from Moore's comment about "doing everything he can to see that Bush is NOT re-elected this year"). So why wouldn't the Cannes Film audience applaud it? The movie is tailor-made to meet their approval and support their views.
Like I said, I would be shocked if they hadn't applauded it. [/QUOTE]The award isn't so mcuh about the content of the movie as much as it is about the technical direction. The Cannes panel is hardly what one would describe as 'liberal' in nature - but certainly made up of professional film-makers and critics.
You might dislike the man for his opinions, but he is talented.
