Fahrenheit 9/11
Caught an advance screening of it at Cinema Paris. As Doz pointed out to me after the movie, Moore is an excellent propagandist. That only makes the doco all the more compelling. If you’re a fence-sitter who’s not sure why Bush is disliked or hated throughout the world, see the movie. It’ll be an eye-opener for you. See it, read of both the praises and the condemnations its received, and then make up your own mind.
The movie moves through a lot of different points. It uses suggestion a lot, rarely resorting to a direct accusation (never does Moore gloat that WMDs have not been found yet he just sort of assumes the audience has worked that bit out). The connection drawn between the Bush and Saudi Arabian families smack of conspiracy theorist linkages, but at least the evidence he presents and assertions he makes are all sourced and verified (you’d have to make sure that was the case if you’re going to attack the Government). The style seems a touch more restrained than Bowling for Columbine, but is still expertly crafted and powerfully moving.
This movie received applause at its conclusion. That, in Australian cinemas whose audiences are generally quite restrained, is reserved only for the most popular movies. Very highly recommended.

Well, I finally saw the movie. Now that I have, I’m really glad I did.
Michael Moore makes some very important points. Most of the movie is really about interviews with American troops in Iraq. It’s about US soldiers over in Iraq telling the American people how it really is, and what it’s really like for them. It made me feel like I was watching an important CNN news documentary. I’m really glad I saahrenheit 9/11.
All these people are talking about how the movie is just a bunch of lies? How can it be lies when it is truth being spoken from the men on the front lines? I also really liked how Michael Moore brought to attention in the movie, Fahrenheit 9/11, many different perspective’s of God. That’s very brave of him to point out that truth.
I loved it. I would have to say that it is truly one of the few times that my money has been well spent at the movies. I hope Michael Moore does a lot more movies.

Everyone should see this movie. By rating this movie ‘R’ people are saying ‘The News’ should be rated ‘R.’ Children don’t have a right to know the news, do they? But it’s ok to point nuclear missiles at them while they are trying to study?
