Von Trier Bashes Bush
Lars Von Triers called our President names and uttered anti-American sentiments. Is anyone surprised?
Mr Bush is an a**hole. So much in Denmark is American. We are a nation under influence.
America fills about 60 per cent of my brain. So, in fact, I am American.
But I can't go there to vote and I can't change anything, because I am from a small country. So that is why I make films about America.
Oh, come on in, Lars. Go ahead. Since you think about America so much, you're allowed to vote in our elections! That's perfectly fine. Of course, if he moved here, he'd probably move to a state with few electoral votes, and then he'd say that he can't change anything because he is from a small state, and that is why he makes films about America.
The entertaining line from this article is that his comments "shocked crowds" at Cannes. I'm not familiar with contactmusic.com, but clearly this author is not very familiar with the movie industry, politics in Cannes, or Lars Von Trier. I'm sure that roughly 0% of the crowd was shocked. Of course, I always wonder how the American actors and directors present react to these comments. Granted, most of the American movie industry are anti-Bush, America-hating celebrities to begin with — especially those who are present at Cannes — so there probably isn't much response from them.
