Geert Wilders’ Film “Fitna” Now Online
You can get to it from this HotAir link. I have watched it. As a film it hits you in the gut. It contains some gruesome stuff (most of which you may have seen before). The film is a bit impressionistic - Wilders intercuts verses from the Koran being chanted, with news footage and stills, etc. By the end he is putting up more title screens than anything else. So I have two reactions: on an emotional level, the film works, but on a technical level, I wish he could have brought in another editor near the end of the editing process, to look at the film with a cooler eye and make a more visually strong ending. That’s being picky, though. He was brave to create and release the film at all. CNN story on the film’s release.
Here are two good commentaries on the film: Laura at Pursuing Holiness wrote on The Obligation Not to Obey Islamic Law, and from Reason magazine, “Everyone Deserves the Right to Offend.”
