So we finally watched Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. So, rather than start a huge political flame war I'll just let you know what I thought of the movie. I thought it was very well made propaganda. Michael Moore, as much as I can't stand him, can make a good documentary, this just wasn't one of them. I say that because this wasn't a documentary at all, it was a witch hunt plain and simple.

Yes, there are some disturbing facts in it that are indisputable (like Bush sitting at the school for 7 minutes...). All the connections, however what Moore doesn't tell you is that every President is connected like this (however the way in which we took the Bin Laden's out of the country without questioning them is pretty scary). The problem is that Moore does exactly what he accuses the Bush White House of doing, he uses (in his case emotions) to influence people. I also think he uses fear as well, trying to scare us that Bush's agenda is basically total world domination. He's just as bad. He tugs on our heart strings about the war (now I agree that war is inherently bad). He also basically paints ALL middle-easterns that have interesting in America as evil. It's just bad.

So if you hate Bush you'll love this movie, you'll just be wallowing in your own illusions. If you love Bush you'll hate this movie, you'll just be wallowing in your own illusions. If you don't love or hate Bush, you'll see it for what it is. A well done bad movie.
