Surfajući jutros, naletih na blog Michaela Mooora. Otvoren friško u nedjelju.
Za razliku od najavljenog Gatesovog, na ovom bi se moglo nešto pametno pročitati. Kako je otvoren prije 2 dana, tek je dvaput postao. Moram priznati da jedva čekam da napiše još nešto.
Moore je jako zanimljiv lik. Za film
Bowling for Columbine je dobio Oscara.
U svojoj zahvali je rekao:
We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it's the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. hame on you. Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.
Tu su i još neke zanimljive izjave:
The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.
U Cannesu je u zahvalnom govoru rekao:
He is probably choking on a pretzel or something. I hope nobody tells him that I have won this award while he is eating a pretzel. ... He has the funniest lines in the film. I am eternally grateful to him.
A nešto kasnije - I forgot out there on the stage to thank my cast. So if I could do that now, I want to thank Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld. I thought the love scene between Cheney and Rumsfeld brought a tear to my eye
U knjizi Stupid White Man u kojoj optužuje Busha za krađu izbora i između ostalog kaže:
White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say, "We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!"
Prije neki dan sam naišla na još jednu meni dragu izjavu. Ovo je rekao kada se na Internetu pojavila piratska kopija filma Fahrenheit 9/11:
Ne slažem se sa zakonom o autorskim pravima, i nemam ništa protiv da ljudi downloaduju moj film i dijele ga sa drugima, sve dok ne pokušavaju da naprave profit od mog rada. Tome se protivim. Ide mi dobro i napravio sam ovaj film zato što želim da se promijeni nešto u svijetu. Što ga više ljudi vidi to bolje, tako da sam sretan što se sve to dešava. Jeli pogrešno od nekoga ko je kupio DVD da ga posudi svom prijatelju besplatno? Naravno da nije. Nikada nije bilo i nikada neće biti. Smatram da informacije, umjetnost i ideje treba dijeliti.
Sa svim njegovim izjavama se slažem, a posebno sa ovom posljednjom :D Jedva čekam da pogledam Fahrenheit 9/11...
Bilo mi je pegla prevoditi izjave, a ovu zadnju sam našla prevedenu. Nadam se da mi niko neće zamjeriti.
