Michael Moore has already stated that he (and his studio backer, Disney) will be releasing Fahrenheit 911 just prior to the 2004 election to slam President Bush.

If that film employs the most innovative techniques in film editing and cinematography will you be ready to embrace that work regardless of whatever tinfoil theories about Israel and prior-knowledge Mr. Moore is spinning?

If Elmer Berstein had scored the movie version of Jackass, would it suddenly have become a film for the ages? Or would people just be asking "Why, Elmer, why?"

Your hypothesis proves my point. Some just can't separate craft from politics. If the film you mention does have some spectacular innovative technique craftsmen and connoisseurs will take note. Special achievement speaks for itself as does foolishness. Sometimes both can be found in a single body of work, both are examples to learn from.

P.S. Not much of a chance for Moore to do anything noteworthy. You should have come up with a more believable example.
