Michael Moore mulls movie about Blair U.S. anti-war filmmaker Michael Moore said that he wants to make a movie about British Prime Minister Tony Blair's role in Iraq war as he has done to U.S. President George W. Bush. In an interview published Saturday, Moore, director of "Fahrenheit 9/11," the controversial documentary which last month won prestigious Palme d'Or award at the Cannes film festival, said he "personally hold Blair more responsible for this war in Iraq than I do George W. Bush, and the reason is Blair knows better."
U.S. director Michael Moore reacts as he holds the Palme d'Or for his winning film entry "Fahrenheit 9/11" during the awards ceremony at the 57th Cannes Film Festival , May 22, 2004. The film, by Michael Moore, is a documentary that criticizes U.S. President and the war in Iraq.
Moore likened Blair, the staunchest supporter of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq last year, to an older sibling of Bush's. He said that, when two children get in trouble, the parent usually questions the older one as to how he or she could let such a problem occur. Anticipating increasing attacks from Bush campaign and supporters, Moore said he has formed a group to counter any future attack on his movie. The group will operate 24 hours a day, monitoring TV newscasts, news reports and other publications for statements discrediting his movie. Moore said he has hired two political advisers to former Democrat President Bill Clinton's campaign to establish a "war room" that will immediately support any claims made in the movie that come under attack. Moore, an independent voter, said he does not support Bush, and wants his reelection attempt to fail. |
