 We need to remember
that the same kind of documentary can be made about a Democrat or
Independent President.
That said, go see this
movie and go cast your vote in November. This movie is only one
example of what makes the United States of America a great country.
In another country, as
the movie shows, when George W. Bush says something like how a
dictatorship would be easier, the mere mention of making a movie like this
would leave Michael Moore and the executives at Lions Gates Films in
prison or worse.
In this great country
and its great law of free speech, this movie can be shown and not only
that, it can be shown a few months before a major presidential
election. Never in the history of the United States has this ever
happened.
So it will be
interesting how well this movie does, and if it does well, will Hollywood
follow with more? Will movies become "both edgy or watered-down
political magazines"
for either side in future presidential elections? Will someone care
like Michael Moore did?
If the movie
theater--which was completely packed, and when the ticket person says that
the movie showing times have had to be changed because more people came to
see it than expected--is any indication, then it will be interesting how
this movie will affect the election.
Thus, consider your
state. Has its electoral votes always voted Republican?
Democrat? It will be interesting if my state will go Democrat this
time around. If it does, then all those people in the theater
changed their minds. I sometimes question why I go vote because the state
where
I
live always goes Republican. But I go vote anyway even though I
voted the opposite in previous elections. Don't let such things
discourage you. Go vote!
There are a few major
decisions we make that affect our lives--marriage, buying a home, starting
a family. Let voting at every presidential election be included in
your list.
If Fahrenheit
911 does not convince you to go and vote, then what will?
