Reply #28: I've seen the film four times now [View All]

Took my mother, her two friends, and three other people over the course of the last two weeks. It gave me a chance to really analyze it, instead of simply experience it.

Of course it could have been better. Perhaps the Florida stuff at the beginning is an automatic turnoff for fence-sitting conservative types. Perhaps the humor is heavy-handed and unnecessary on occasion.

But the reason people belted you is because they saw all they believe and know to be true validated on a very large screen. Say what you want about his style, but Moore got nothing wrong on the facts.

For myself, seeing everything I have been working on every day for the last three years put forth in a continuum complete with original b-roll was an exceptional experience. It was thus for many others. Understand that, and you'll understand the less-than-cuddly reaction you got.

I'm not saying they were right, or that you 'got what you deserved.' I'm just hippin' you to the jive, as it were. :)
