Truth Hurts.
Shame on Disney for blocking Miramax from releasing Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," the explosive documentary that exposes the Bush White House as a lot of blundering fools that goofed up before, during, and after the World Trade Centre attacks. By caving into pressure from the right, Disney not only failed to honor Moore's right to free speech, but it also let a blockbuster smash slide through its fingers. Is Moore an opportunist for deliberately releasing this movie during an election year? Probably. Is it biased? Only a fool would say "no." But regardless of what side of the political fence you're on, "Fahrenheit 9/11" will arouse fierce debate, and its images will alarm, disturb and unnerve. Not to mention that the movie is funny as hell. The opening sequence outlines, with strong conviction, how the 2000 election was manipulated to portray Bush as the winner. Other interesting clips are a ditzy Britney Spears blindly endorsing the president, evidence that links the Bush family to the bin Ladens, footage of Bush reading nursery rhymes to grade school kids for SEVEN MINUTES after he got word of the 9/11 attacks, as well as Moore vainly trying to persuade congressmen to get their children to enlist in the very Iraq war they endorsed. But the heart of "Fahrenheit 9/11" rests in Lila Lipscomb. Lila is a working class mother in Flint, MI, and is aggressively supportive of the war in Iraq until she learns that her son, a soldier, was killed in battle. Witnessing her anguish onscreen (and in front of the White House where she vents her frustration and mourns the loss of her son) is truly heartbreaking. Moore rocked several comfort zones during his infamous 2003 Oscar speech for his previous documentary "Bowling for Columbine," and "Fahrenheit" will no doubt do more of the same. Good for him. Moore's truth may hurt, but Bush's lies kill.
Ive Had It... I'm now a Kerry Republican!
I've been convoluted over my vote for Pres. Bush in 2000 for lots of reasons. Mainly the hypocritical double standards from my conservative brethren that bombards my sense of fairness on a daily basis. Just contemplating the rage, furor, and media coverage over the Clintons sexual indiscretions, missing files (that eventually turned up and then exonerated), a land deal that went bad, etc. and compare them to the dozens and dozens of far more disturbing and destructive scandals from The Bush Administration and the lack of negative coverage until this year...I felt compelled to see this film and decide for myself and I must say my present feeling with the President I voted for and felt so proud of in the weeks following Sept. 11 were confirmed. Moores partisan commentary is definitely over the top but there's no denying the content of this film. As a self described Patriot in the spirit of Samuel Adams I say Enough! We can no longer sit by while President Bush creates a rage of anti-American hate in millions of young destitute Arabs, who will grow-up, and in 15 years be the new and improved BinLadden army of terrorists. Terrorism explained in its most simplistic sense is, rage turned into action. I will not be apologetic when I state to my fellow American citizens this election season, I'm a Kerry Republican.
 Don't believe everything you hear!
This is an extraordinary, powerful, and well thought out movie. It is harsh on the Bush administration and their failures. But more importantly... it is ALL documented. You will hear a ton of BAD things about this movie from the extremely political people out there. Facts are hard to dispute, so a spin campaign is in full force. Michael Moore anticipated this and had complete documentation of his sources available for your own research. Go to http://www.michaelmoore.com/warroom/f911notes / and check the sources to verify the accuracy of this movie before you listen to any of the negative propaganda against it. So I emplore you, DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR... check it out for yourself and be intelligently informed. This movie is a MASTERPIECE!!!
