Men du gidder ikke bruke æ,ø og å. :ermm:

Jeg henviser deg til noen som apenbart er littegrann klokere enn deg:

kanskje han har amerikansk tastatur og oppsett da vet du...
Er det bare USA som ikke har æ,ø og å? Om han bor i Frankrike, Kina eller Finland, da?
Hvorfor skulle de ha disse bokstavene?
-Seixon i Frankrike
Hey, tar kanskje en tur til Paris med en spesiell jente en gang i fremtiden...
Med andre ord, det finnes ingen dokumentarer. For om en dokumentar skulle fulgt den definisjonen du bruker ville den vart i ett døgn eller to.

Feil. Det gar an a presentere fakta uten at man forandrer sannheten. Det er ikke nodvendig a inkludere alle fakta i saken, sa lenge det man presenterer ikke forandrer sannheten ved det man utelater.

Det finnes dokumentarer og som jeg sa er jeg sikker pa at Discovery, History Channel, og National Geographic har noen.

THE BEGINNING OF HISTORY

Fahrenheit 9/11 has touched millions of viewers across the world. But could it actually change the course of civilisation?

 

by John Berger

Tuesday August 24, 2004

 

Fahrenheit 9/11 is astounding. Not so much as a film - although it is cunning and moving - but as an event. Most commentators try to dismiss the event and disparage the film. We will see why later.

 

The artists on the Cannes film festival jury apparently voted unanimously to award Michael Moore's film the Palme d'Or. Since then it has touched many millions across the world. In the US, its box-office takings for the first six weeks amounted to more than $100m, which is, astoundingly, about half of what Harry Potter made during a comparable period. Only the so-called opinion-makers in the media appear to have been put out by it.

 

The film, considered as a political act, may be a historical landmark. Yet to have a sense of this, a certain perspective for the future is required. Living only close-up to the latest news, as most opinion-makers do, reduces one's perspectives. The film is trying to make a small contribution towards the changing of world history. It is a work inspired by hope.

 

What makes it an event is the fact that it is an effective and independent intervention into immediate world politics. Today it is rare for an artist to succeed in making such an intervention, and in interrupting the prepared, prevaricating statements of politicians. Its immediate aim is to make it less likely that President Bush will be re-elected next November.

 

To denigrate this as propaganda is either naive or perverse, forgetting (deliberately?) what the last century taught us. Propaganda requires a permanent network of communication so that it can systematically stifle reflection with emotive or utopian slogans. Its pace is usually fast. Propaganda invariably serves the long-term interests of some elite.

 

This single maverick movie is often reflectively slow and is not afraid of silence. It appeals to people to think for themselves and make connections. And it identifies with, and pleads for, those who are normally unlistened to. Making a strong case is not the same thing as saturating with propaganda. Fox TV does the latter; Michael Moore the former.

 

Ever since the Greek tragedies, artists have, from time to time, asked themselves how they might influence ongoing political events. It's a tricky question because two very different types of power are involved. Many theories of aesthetics and ethics revolve round this question. For those living under political tyrannies, art has frequently been a form of hidden resistance, and tyrants habitually look for ways to control art. All this, however, is in general terms and over a large terrain. Fahrenheit 9/11 is something different. It has succeeded in intervening in a political programme on the programme's own ground.

 

For this to happen a convergence of factors were needed. The Cannes award and the misjudged attempt to prevent the film being distributed played a significant part in creating the event.

 

To point this out in no way implies that the film as such doesn't deserve the attention it is receiving. It's simply to remind ourselves that within the realm of the mass media, a breakthrough (a smashing down of the daily wall of lies and half-truths) is bound to be rare. And it is this rarity which has made the film exemplary. It is setting an example to millions - as if they'd been waiting for it.

 

The film proposes that the White House and Pentagon were taken over in the first year of the millennium by a gang of thugs so that US power should henceforth serve the global interests of the corporations: a stark scenario which is closer to the truth than most nuanced editorials. Yet more important than the scenario is the way the movie speaks out. It demonstrates that - despite all the manipulative power of communications experts, lying presidential speeches and vapid press conferences - a single independent voice, pointing out certain home truths which countless Americans are already discovering for themselves, can break through the conspiracy of silence, the atmosphere of fear and the solitude of feeling politically impotent.

 

It's a movie that speaks of obstinate faraway desires in a period of disillusion. A movie that tells jokes while the band plays the apocalypse. A movie in which millions of Americans recognise themselves and the precise ways in which they are being cheated. A movie about surprises, mostly bad but some good, being discussed together. Fahrenheit 9/11 reminds the spectator that when courage is shared one can fight against the odds.

 

In more than a thousand cinemas across the country, Michael Moore becomes with this film a people's tribune. And what do we see? Bush is visibly a political cretin, as ignorant of the world as he is indifferent to it; while the tribune, informed by popular experience, acquires political credibility, not as a politician himself, but as the voice of the anger of a multitude and its will to resist.

 

There is something else which is astounding. The aim of Fahrenheit 9/11 is to stop Bush fixing the next election as he fixed the last. Its focus is on the totally unjustified war in Iraq. Yet its conclusion is larger than either of these issues. It declares that a political economy which creates colossally increasing wealth surrounded by disastrously increasing poverty, needs - in order to survive - a continual war with some invented foreign enemy to maintain its own internal order and security. It requires ceaseless war.

 

Thus, 15 years after the fall of communism, a decade after the declared end of history, one of the main theses of Marx's interpretation of history again becomes a debating point and a possible explanation of the catastrophes being lived.

 

It is always the poor who make the most sacrifices, Fahrenheit 9/11 announces quietly during its last minutes. For how much longer?

 

There is no future for any civilisation anywhere in the world today which ignores this question. And this is why the film was made and became what it became. It's a film that deeply wants America to survive.

Det er rart hvor enkelt det er for a fa enkelte mennesker til a viderefore propagandaen sin. En person lager en liten serie av bilder med Bush sammen med en ape, ogsa gar alle rundt og kaller Bush for en ape, selv om hvem som helst kunne blitt fremstilt pa samme mate, siden aper har like trekk med mennesker og "hermer" etter oss.

 

Merkelig det der. :!:

En ting jeg undrer meg litt over, er at ingen har gått til sak mot Michael Moore enda. Jeg ville tro og anta at i et land som USA som saksøker over en lav fot, ville en mann som Michael Moore bli saksøkt i "haue å ræva" hvis han kom med en feil påstand.

Hvem skulle saksøkt han? Bush?

Det er kommet utallige sider som motbeviser det meste, det kommer to filmer imot Michael Moore og de fleste tar alt han sier med en lastebil salt. Det lønner seg rett og slett ikke å saksøke en mann som er så populær blant folket, og som er såpass rik som han er.. Han vil påstå at søksmålet er grunnlovstridende (fordi alle vet at grunnloven sier: du kan si hva du vil om hvem du vil, fakta eller ei).

Tull. Hvis alt er så feil som mange mener, kan de lett saksøke han for "slander".

 

 

Btw, det i rødt. Selvmotsigelser? :dontgetit:

Mest fordi da hadde han skreket "SENSUR" og alt det der, ikke noe Bush og resten av gjengen akkurat trenger, selv om Moore har hevdet sensur flere ganger uten at det har vaert noe troverdighet i det...
