One could argue the editing is more a humorous technique then anythign else. I dunno.
But hiding behind the photoshopping is just another EXCUSE to not discuss the real facts presented on the movie.
bin Laden connections ?
bin Ladens flying away ?
bin Ladens' money flowing into coorporations linked to Bush and friends ??
Contracts in Iraq ??
And the list goes on.
I think the movie is important for showing these facts.. and not for editing quotes. that is only my OPNION. If you want stick to the editing excuse and keep the shades on... it is okay with me.
So are you suggesting that Moore's editing should be overlooked because some of his points may be valid? I'm fairly certain, no, quite sure actually, he admitted to Matt Lauer on the Today Show that he edits to mis-represent context, opinion, and fabricate the message he wants to send in support of his own opinon.
BBorges, I respect your civil and educated opinon. However *see bolded section above*, please answer me this: if some is admitted as being mis-represented or deliberately taken out of context, how are the viewers of his film able to determine which parts are fact and which are fiction.
Fortunately for him, he is an American and is free to do so. A right I would defend to the death (USMC, ret. speaking here), even for Moore, to do so. Yet, I despise him for utilizing the priviledges (garaunteed rights) afforded by the U.S. Constitution as a means to present a highly altered, an admitted untruth in fact, presentation.
I will not see the movie as I refuse to contribute financially in any way to Moore.
