Running Time: 4 1. '2 1 12 Minutes stars Emily Miller Staff Writer Foster Kamer ASE Editor Sure, some are going to go see it because of the controversy surrounding the film's release; others, because they share and support Moore's political stances. Even more potential moviegoers won't see Moore's film simply on the basis of having no interest in seeing an attack against their personal ideologies. That is really too bad because "Fahrenheit 911" isn't just an elaborate piece of propaganda or water-coolcontroversy or another one of Moore's films that lines heavy political and philosophical bedrock with his sense of humble, Midwestern wit. "Fahrenheit 911" is something much different: It's one of, if not the most powerful, dramatic, artful, provocative films released this year. And even more so: It's real, folks. The film begins by chronicling the heavy protests surrounding George er Despite whatever A & E (or any film critics, for that matter) will write about Michael Moore's latest work, most people have already made up their minds on whether or not to go see it and their reasons for choosing why or why not to do so. other W. Bush's election and inauguration. Moore then quickly assembles stats on the amount of vacation time a projected "lame-duc- k president" took during his first eight months in office, managing to show Bush at his least charismatic. Right as 911 is slightly alluded to, the credits roll. And that's when it really hits the fan. Over the credits, we see steady shots of members of the president's cabinet gearing up for press interviews, having their makeup done and microphones attached by hands just out of view of the camera's frame. It's through this type of artistic framing that Moore has started to let his visuals do some of his (typically loud) talking for him. And do they ever.

Somewhere (in your neighborhood), somebody (probably all of your friends) is out (fireworks, having a barbecue, drinks) for the night. And if e s Moore finds equal ground or not, one thing is certain: Moore's facts are physically discomforting and radiate throughout the film. For Moore, it's a change, though. Finally emerging are distinct moments where Moore shows, rather than tells us, the point he is trying to make. It's not easy to look at. The humor of "Bowling For Columbine" and "The Big One" aren't around as often, and they certainly aren't so funny, either. Moore himself is less present as a personality, which works to the film's advantage. By not being cheeky and cute, Moore's narrative excavates deeper ground earlier works of his could've used, and will heat audiences up with him or against him more than anyone else this summer. fkamerchronide. utah.edu in Iraq, many of them just teenagers, describing the adrenaline rush of going after "targets" (even letting the camera in on the music they blast during battle), showcasing and easily relating the eerie resemblance of neo-wto a video game; a woman from a "military family" in Moore's impoverished hometown of Flint, Mich., falls to pieces discussing her son's death in the war, questioning the meaning of her family's legacy in serving in the U.S. armed forces. Sure, these shots are easy war is hell, after all. But the gold here truly shines during the first, slower half of the film. As Moore slowly assembles facts and numbers on Bush's ties to Saudi oil money, a new type of cinematic tension emerges. It's the type one can feel in the air of the theater. Whether you agree or not, whether you're friendless, just pretend like you aren't, and invite those July 3 Everyone can find something to do on a Saturday night, but a Saturday morning? It's not just for sleeping anymore. The downtown Farmer's Market runs from around 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Pioneer Park at 300 South and 300 West. Some of the best food and produce in town can be found there for cheap, and the market shuts down in October, so we say get in while the going's good. Already ate? There's an arts market attached to it the dig imaginary friends over! They'll appreciate the fireworks, too. But seriously, if you can't find something to do tonight, you deserve to be bored. July 5 Once again, Suede is the place this Monday. Couldn't make it to Tuesday's Dead show at USANA? Can't get enough? Cosmic Charlie claims to be one of the best Grateful Dead cover bands around, touting pie sets and two drummers as part of its schtick. We'll fall for it - it's $30 cheaper than a Dead ticket.
