I went to the movies last night to see I Sing the Body Electric from a Whitman poem. I was diappointed that it didn’t delve into the Plame affair, but that’s a hairy on that would fit into the story presented in the film very well. I’m a bit disappointed that Moore didn’t bust out a trilogy of 3-hour movies presented a month apart building up to the election. There’s certainly enought damning Bush footage and information to fill that amount of time. Why no mention of the ghoulish Skull and Bones? That’s a whole other can of worms that deserves its own documentary. Then again, perhaps since Kerry was in it too we should wait until he’s elected to launch into that one =)…But I digress. The movie was great. It’s a classic. Overall, it’s sad so many people had to be killed, tortured, and impoverished for us to have an entertaining caricature for a president, but it’ll certainly go down in the history books as a defining moment in our country’s history where we stepped back and realized how corrupt and insane our leadership really is.
Update: Go here to see a side-by-side comparison of F911 vs The Passion.
Update 2: Read the transcript a large portion of the movie.
