TORONTO -- International critics at the 31st Toronto International Film Festival gave an award to the controversial British television movie "Death of a President," which centers on a fictionalized assassination of President George W. Bush.

British director Gabriel Range's "Death of a President" stirred up a strong reaction even before it premiered at the festival and won the Prize of the International Critics (FIPRESCI Prize). The jury of film critics cited the film "for the audacity with which it distorts reality to reveal a larger truth."

When Republicans do the same thing they call it "Fox News".

I guess that would be the Joseph Goebbels award.

Well said. Should be the first thing taught in high school social studies classes. Of course the educrats would turn it into an anti-gun thing which is totally NOT the point.

Absolute Alice in Wonderland logic that only simple minded & leftists bow to.

Uh, no. Fox News doesn't advocate the assassination of political opponents. How about you, Mom? Watching Bush bleed to death on a Chicago street - would you find that amusing?

Big surprise. Anything anti-Bush, anti-American, and/or anti-Christian would have been *cough* honored.

I am sure the Bush family is happy to read about this news...DISGRACEFUL!

I'm sure his family isn't at all happy about this, but I suspect Pres. Bush sees the bigger picture and it's entitled "BACKLASH." I think this movie about the assassination of a sitting president will completely offend the so-called non-politicals and moderates.

Liberals are SO predictable.

You KNEW Al Gore's book would win awards.
You KNEW Michael Moore's movies would win awards.
You KNOW ahead of time who will win Grammies, Oscars, Book of the Month, etc...if it is anti-Christian, anti-conservative, or anti-Bush...it will win.

"it distorts reality to reveal a larger truth."

This is a variation on the Dan Rather quote, "fake but accurate." Libs live in a land of fiction and that's why they keep losing elections.
