In Reply to: how about the silly americans than stop calling french fries.... posted by Ruben on May 25, 2004 at 08:29:17:
Those all would have some validity if we were discussing some French movie and its score during the Oscars, or some geo-political issues... as it is, this thread was about Moore's film, so perhaps we should stick with it.What I said was that its score was tainted by the current political climate.
Follow Ups:
One of my favorite (of many) lines in "Breaking Away" is when the father is complaining about his son's attraction to all things Italian. The father says, "It's all this ' I-TI ini' food, zuchini, fettechini, I want some AMERICAN food. I want FRENCH FRIES!"
. . . that 4 of the jurors at Cannes were Americans too . . .
It doesn't. Unless you don't know that many simply hate the current administration... and I mean hate, not dislike. And hatred is blinding.
. . . . it's easy to say that Cannes has a French and Euro bias. But when half the judges are Americans, that bias goes out the window.Maybe it's just a good movie?
But again YOU'RE already making judgements about it, aren't you?
Well that half of the judges are US citizen that do not mean anything. The fact is that the actual govenement of the USA stirs a lot of heat and hate everywhere. There may l lay the reponse.
