'Fahrenheit 9/11'' won the top award from sharply divided Cannes moviegoers, who found a solid crop of good movies among the 19 entries in the festival's main competition but no great ones that rose to front-runner status.
While ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' was well-received by Cannes audiences, many critics felt it was inferior to Moore's Academy Award-winning documentary ''Bowling for Columbine,'' which earned him a special prize at Cannes in 2002.
Some critics speculated that if ''Fahrenheit 9/11'' won the top prize, it would be more for the film's politics than its cinematic value.

Quentin Tarantino headed the nine-member jury that handed out prizes in Cannes' main competition. The other jurors included actresses Kathleen Turner, Tilda Swinton and Emmanuelle Beart.

publicity for his film. More people will want to check this out.

Ray Bradbury is demanding an apology from filmmaker Michael Moore (news) for lifting the title from his classic science-fiction novel "Fahrenheit 451" without permission and wants the new documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11" to be renamed.
"He didn't ask my permission," Bradbury, 83, told The Associated Press on Friday. "That's not his novel, that's not his title, so he shouldn't have done it."

With respect to Bradbury, I'm glad that he has been as gentlemanly about the issue as he has been, but, as far as I know, titles are not copyrightable. Hence, if I wanted to, I could create a movie called "Casablanca" that has absolutely nothing to do with the original film (none of the same script, characters, setting, etc.), and there's not a thing anyone could do about it. However, there's a second quotient in this issue: the fact that Moore could probably argue that his title falls under a parody, and I think that the humorous tone of his "documentary" would very likely muster any objective challenge.
Frankly, I wouldn't doubt that Bradbury might ultimately try and go to court, if the title isn't changed, but I also don't think he would win either.

R rated means you have to be 17 years old or older to see the movie, unless you're accompanied by an adult.
The company distributing filmmaker Michael Moore's Bush-bashing movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" says it won't reject an offer of help from Middle East terrorist organization Hezbollah.
What got this to do with the content in the movie ? It seems that the only thing that count for you to discredit the movie because you don`t like it.nbcrusader said:
