As you've probably heard by now, Michael Moore repeated the success of Bowling For Columbine when it was clear that his Fahrenheit 911 had received the 2004 Palme d'Or, the most prestigious price at the Cannes Film Festival. What are your thoughts about this? What do you think this will mean for the distribution of the film in America? His chances at the next Academy Awards? What significance does the fact that the jury of this french festival was lead by an american director (Quentin Tarantino) bear? Is this to be understood as a political standpoint by the Cannes jury or simply that Michael Moore has done a great film? Has anyone on here seen the film??
Discuss, damn it, DISCUSS!!!!

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.
