상받은 뒤 backstage에 가서도 또 한바탕 한 모양이군요. :-) Michael Moore addresses the press BACKSTAGE!!! http://www.countingdown.com/movies/oscars/movieinfo/story?item_id=2998357 March 23, 2003 Michael Moore addresses the press BACKSTAGE!!! Submitted by: Larry Carroll Here's what Michael Moore had to say backstage ater he won the Oscar for Bowling For Columbine and gave a very controversal, anti-war, anti-Bush aceptance spech: Q: Why did you do what you did? "I'm an American." Q: That's it? "I'm an American, and you don't lose your citizenship when you enter the Kodak Theatre." Q: Half the audience wanted to carry you on their shoulders and half wanted to kill you, it seemed. "That's not what I saw. I saw a roomful of people applauding a great film." Q: Could you expand on your thoughts? "What lesson did we teach the children of Columbine this week? We taught them that violence is an acceptable way to deal with a problem. " Q: How did you feel about the people who booed? "Everybody that booed were my friends and relatives. I told them to do that." On the war: "The majority of Americans do not want to see their childen killed in this war. The majority never elected this guy to the White Huse. Our democracy was hijacked, and there is a squatter at 1600 Pensylvania Ave. as far as I'm concerned. And I'll keep saying that 'til we get him outta there." Q: Are you afraid of being blacklisted by Hollywood after causing this ruckus? "I'm not funded by Americans. I'm funded by Candians usually. Hollywood voted for me, so it seems to me they'd still like me." At this point, Michael asked he reporters to do him a favor: "Please do your job and tell the truth. Don't just make this sound like nobody agreed with me. The majority of Americans oppose this law. Don't make this about me being booed." Q: Do you think the Oscars should have been postponed? "No, it's important to have the Oscars. After all, isn't this what we're fighting for? What's more American than the Oscars?" Q: So, what do you feel this war is about? "We're fighting for Bush and hs oil money. It's apalling and immoral that people are dying for this. I said in my fight it's all about fiction. The fiction is that Saddam is going to come and kill us all. The non-fiction is that we're after their oil." Q: How have you felt about the coverage of the war? "This is the first two hours of TV this week where people havn't been inundated with retired generals. ABC, NBC, CNN...they all have Generals on. Please, withdraw your troops from our airwaves." Q: What were you saying when th music played over you? "I was saying that anybody who has both the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against them isn't long for the White House." Q: Tomorrow people might report that you hijacked the Oscars. Do you think you may have hurt America? "Tonight I put America in a good light. I showed how important it is to use our free speech. I don't think the people out there will think I hijacked the Oscars. I have a best-selling book, while Bush supposedly has these great approval ratings. I think I have my finger is on the pulse of people. I'm not gonna get up there and thank lawyers and agents. I love the cinema, I make movies like I'd want to see. I hope I did that with this film, and I'm honored to receive this Oscar." Q: How did your fellow nominees feel? "I invited my fellow nominees to come up with me. I told my fellow nominees I was going to speak out againts Bush and the war, they knew that, and they still chose to stand with me in solidarity." "We need to reclaim our country. I love this country, and I love this democracy." Counting Down ---- 퍼스트 건담 41화 : "아아.. 아므로, 시간이 보여요." 라라아 아줌마, 타임슬립해서 잘먹고 잘살고 있다에 한 표. 김도연 Kim Do-Yeon : gandalfthegrey@hanmail.net
