america's heart and soul - so, they wouldn't release fahrenheit 9/11, but this, this is okay. are they making efforts to distance themselves from any involvement with fh9/11, or do they want to make sure that washington
keeps listening?
From the chronicle:
Disney officials insist their 88-minute film, "America's Heart and Soul" -- stitching simple, positive vignettes of everyday Americans with sweeping vistas and up-tempo music -- is neither a response to Moore's politically charged hit nor any type of political statement itself.

Festival de
Cannes update:
The new Michael Moore movie received a 18 minutes long
standing ovation , a couple of days ago, which was already meaningful to him and his film crew.
Tonight Moore also received the prestigious
Palme D'Or prize, making sure the film will receive an adequate distribution in the United States.
His speech was quite powerful, beginning with him visibly stunned, looking at Quentin Tarantino (who was in tears) in disbelief, saying
“What have you done? I’m completely overwhelmed by this. Merci”.

Bowling for Columbine is opening
tomorrow. I know muckraking
Michael Moore
is a
touchy subject
around here,
but I found his first feature since
Roger
& Me insightful in its stubborn search for an answer to the question:
"Why is America so violent?"
Other
reviewers
agree.
Subtle he isn't, but when the news is as
stark
as it is today, maybe subtlety is beside the point. I hope that even some of you
who aren't predisposed to agree with Moore will give this film a chance. Did I
mention it's also entertaining as hell?
