Political Filmmakers

Political matters are becoming interesting plots for filmmakers to use in their movies. Filmmakers and audiences everywhere are fascinated with political subjects in movies especially following the aftershocks of September 11th and the War on Terrorism. This political film craze was lead by Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11.” This President Bush bashing film leads all political documentaries by toping $100 million in the domestic box office. Moore states that political movies energize the voting public. Other political movies released this year are “The Manchurian Candidate” and “Team America: World Police”. Political films are an interesting way for film directors to express their political opinions.
