Quote:
... compare Moore to Leni Riefenstahl, who made those gorgeously photographed propaganda films for Adolf Hitler.
High praise, indeed, if it's actually true. (I haven't seen it, but based on Moore's other movies, which have been going steadily downhill in quality, I kind of doubt it.) In fact, that's a brilliant example of what Hitchens was *not* trying to show: that great filmmakers can both blatantly make unapologetic propaganda as well as be morally reprehensible themselves. D.W. Griffith, anyone?
