Here we glimpse a possible fusion between the turgid routines of MoveOn.org and the filmic standards, if not exactly the filmic skills, of Sergei Eisenstein or Leni Riefenstahl.

Leni Riefenstahl? This is the silliest attempt to invoke Godwin's Law (http://www.faqs.org/faqs/usenet/legends/godwin/) I've seen in print. Why bother with the director of Triumph of the Will (http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0025913/) when you can just say "Hitler! Hitler! Hitler!" and save us all the trouble of reading the rest of the article?

This is not a review. This is, as Randy noted, a continuation of a personal vendetta against Moore.

Hey, i think comparing Moore to Riefenstahl is more of a compliment than Moore deserves.

Let it never be said that the man does not generate strong feelings.

Technique-wise, I'd say you're right. He's not so down with the fascist thing, though. And no, this is no Alexander Nevsky we're talking about here.
