It is very layered, it’s a great story, and any mainstream audience would love it. And yet, there are some plot-twists in the film that you haven’t seen in an American feature film... It’s not an experimental film, it’s not a politically charged film or whatever; it’s a nice story, but within the story, he does a couple of subversive things that you just sit there and you go wow ... wow, I haven’t seen that in a film, that’s something. So good on him.” --Michael Moore Alan Hines, assistant professor, English Disney College Program – Wed. & Thur., Feb. 22 & 23. Would you like a fortune 500 company on your resume for life?
