Yahoo is reporting that Fahrenheit 9/11 has set a record for documentary filmmaking.
| Quote: |
If Sunday's estimates hold when final numbers are released Monday, "Fahrenheit 9/11" would set a record in a single weekend as the top-grossing documentary ever outside of concert films and movies made for huge-screen IMAX theaters.
Adding the film's haul at two New York City theaters where it opened Wednesday, two days earlier than the rest of the country, boosted "Fahrenheit 9/11" to $21.96 million.
"Bowling for Columbine," Moore's 2002 Academy Award-winning documentary, previously held the documentary record with $21.6 million.

So I would assume that at least a couple of you have watched this film. So what did you think? Would you classify F911 as a documentary? Just hit that comment link at the bottom of this post and let your voice be heard. I hope everyone will remain civil about this controversial film.

I haven't seen it yet.
I recognize the whole 'free speech' aspect of the movie but you didn't see any Republicans making a movie that bashed Clinton. I think freedom of speech is good and I'm all for it, but just like you can't yell 'fire!' for no reason in a crowded room (without consequences) you shouldn't create a movie that bashes any single person or idea. That's just my thoughts, like 'em or leave 'em. Peace. |
