THEME: FAHRENHEIT 9/11 SECOND VIEWING
I saw F911 in a new theater that has just started showing it! I cannot remember a movie that started to show in a theater nearly 2 months after it premiered. This theater was more of a cinemaplex. It was a 4PM showing and surprisingly the theater was over 1/2 full. As before, the audience was composed of primarily people over 45. This makes F911 special in and of itself. Hollywood simply does not cater to adults any more.
The audience clearly was more conservative and the response was more muted. Not as many huge guffaws or snickers. However, true to form, the audience loosened up at the end of the movie, and voila, spontaneous applause! Applause says it all.
I eavesdropped on some of the chatter afterwards. One lady very quietly told her husband "there are just too many scary connections in the movie, it can't all be false." All that is needed is a deep injection of doubt in the minds of the viewers.
Memes from the movie are starting to spread. The 7 minutes meme is already hitting the Matrix. Kerry used it in a speech. If it eventually gains the same recognition as say the grassy knoll meme, then Bush will really be in trouble because more people of neutral political shades will go to see F911 just to see the infamous 7 minutes to satisfy their curiousity.
If you don't know what I am talking about, please see F911 inform yourself!
