 "He did what anybody else would do... he went on vacation."
The most controversial film of the year has finally arrived to theatres. It's the movie that A LOT of people don't want you to see, hence why it had to go through so many obstacles to get a public release. It's also a movie that people cannot stop talking about, whether they love it or hate it. What I'm talking about is none other than Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11," which is an unrelenting assault on the Bush Administration. There is a very clear purpose of this movie, and that is to show the incompetence and the unspeakable acts perpetrated by G.W. and company and their handling of the Iraq War.From the get-go, you know that Moore has an agenda and he doesn't shy away from it. He never backs down from it, as well. From the very first minute, President George W. Bush is shown to us in a very unfavorable fashion. We see him as a slacker who really hates being at the White House since he's always vacationing. We see him sit in a classroom for well over seven minutes when he is told that our country is under attack, holding a very bewildered expression on his face. Moore brings us some pretty devastating evidence that points to a relationship between the Bush family and Saudi Arabia. Not only that, but we are told that while every plane in the U.S. was grounded, the Bin Ladin Family was able to catch flights out of our country without ever being questioned by the FBI (according to Moore). The film has some very humorous moments in it, which include Moore trying to get members of Congress to enlist their own children to go to Iraq--the expressions on their faces are absolutely priceless as they run away in horror and in disgust from Moore. However, there are gut-wrenching and devastating moments like seeing dead and injured soldiers, and the breakdown of a mother who has lost her son in the war. When you add all of these elements together, you get a very thought-provoking and disturbing portrait of the Bush Administration. Make no mistake, as Michael Moore never shies away from the fact that he has made this movie to get Bush out of office. He admits that. His agenda is always clear and he never tells you otherwise. And yet, he doesn't just simply tell you that G.W. is an incompetent guy and leaves it at that. He gives you his reasons and he backs them up with his evidence. I cannot verify the accuracy of this film, as I am not a political analyst. What I can verify is that Moore makes a pretty convincing case and this movie raises some serious accusations that really need to be answered, even if they only turn out to be nothing more than accusations in the end. Is this film nothing more than propaganda? I don't think so. Usually, propaganda is used in hopes that it will have everybody coming to the same conclusions. You won't find that with this movie. People who are for Bush will most likely still be for Bush after seeing the movie, and people who are against Bush will still resent Bush after the movie. There is always a chance that the movie may change some people's opinions, but I don't really think it will change people's minds all that much. However, what I do hope is that the film will have people thinking and asking the hard and tough questions that this administration should have to answer. I think that "Fahrenheit 9/11" is a big triumph for Michael Moore. He took a lot of chances and risks making this movie. It is clear that it is a project that he absolutely believes in since he handles it with absolute care. Whether you're on the Left or on the Right, I think this is something that should be seen by everyone, even if you don't agree with Moore's tactics or opinions. Nobody should tell you how to feel about this movie, it should only be you who comes to such a decision. A very well done and powerful presentation from Mr. Moore. As always, he did not disappoint me. -Michael Crane
We've been watching this movie for the last 4 years
I am happy Michael decided to stick to the facts and not put too much of his own antics in this movie. The film clips and interviews carry this movie to its heights. I heard an interview with John Kerry last night and he was asked if he had seen the movie and Kerry replied "No, We have been watching this movie for the last 4 years". I agree but to put together a film hitting main points concerning Bush was well worth the effort. I have read Moore's books and I know he could have made a much longer film and I am sure half of what he put together ended up on the cutting room floor to keep the movie at a reasonable time. Mike, if you are reading this, please reassemble the cuts and include it on the DVD. The movie moved me to tears at times and my heart goes out to everyone who has lost family & friends pre/post 911 and I think Mike did a great job of delivering this message in his film. Every American needs to see this film.
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!!!
