While his new film, Fahrenheit 11/9, will be presented at the Toronto Film Festival and the mid-term elections will take place in just a few weeks, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has issued a call to arms declaring "the beginning of the end. of Donald J Trump ".
In a note on his website, Moore described his new film as a "mermaid call" addressed to "a desperate and discouraged public who must – MUST – do their job and end the madness at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue."
He added, "I have spent most of this year building a movie that will not only explain how the @ # &% we ended up with Trump, but who also helped us out. I have to warn you – I do not shoot NO punch in the movie. No one is spared, not even me.
Moore also made an extraordinary statement in an interview with Hollywood Reporter, according to which Trump's presidential race was an attempt to prove his popularity – triggered by jealousy that in 2015, NBC had offered singer Gwen Stefani him for The Apprentice. Moore said, "He was talking about running for president since 1988, but he did not really want to be president. There is no penthouse in the White House. And he does not want to live in a black city. He was trying to scare NBC off against another network, but that was just skidding.
Fahrenheit 11/9 draws its title from the date that President Trump's victory in the 2016 elections was confirmed (the vote took place the day before, November 8) and refers to the title of his 2004 documentary, Fahrenheit 9 / 11. target the Bush family for their alleged links with bin Laden.
Early critics of Fahrenheit 11/9 suggest that Moore uses Flint's water crisis to show how civil safeguarding is eroded by Republican freebooters. He says Rick Snyder, the Michigan Republican governor, has the "leadership" that dismissed the elected after Flint's water supply was polluted by a new useless but profitable pipeline.
Moore also suggests that Trump is the figurehead of an attempt to destroy democracy in the United States: his speeches are compared to those of Adolf Hitler according to which the same social passivity that allowed dictators to legally take power in years
Moore also describes the complicity of the media that has contributed to Trump's notoriety, including his own contact with the president and his family: appearing on Roseanne with Donald and Jared Kushner organizing a launch party for his documentary on the health crisis, Sicko .
Moore was one of the few liberal figures to predict Trump's victory in 2016. Previously, he was targeting the president directly with the October movie TrumpLand, as well as Broadway The Terms of My Surrender.
Fahrenheit 9/11, released three years after the World Trade Center bombings, won the Cannes Film Festival's Palme d'Or and remains the most-publicized documentary of all time at the US box office, with more recipes $ 119 million.
Moore's previous films focused on the American gun culture in the 2002 Bowling for Columbine film, which won an Oscar for Best Documentary; the economic crisis of 2008 in capitalism: a story of love; and the human impact of corporate brutality in Roger & Me, its award-winning debut in 1989.
Moore had started working on Fahrenheit 11/9 before its existence was revealed in May 2017; at that time she was enthusiastically supported by the Weinstein Society. Months later, Moore was forced to stop producing the film after Harvey Weinstein's scandal and lack of funding. Moore told the Hollywood Reporter, "We fired everyone and had to bury the film."
He says the delay has changed the nature of the film, which was originally centered on Trump's incompetence. "Ha-ha, we have a doofus at the White House and do not worry because he's not going to be able to do anything." should were buried. Because now we know what Trump really is and all the promises he made to his class.
