Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
SnoopyStyle It's the next Michael Moore film after "Bowling for Columbine". He takes on President George W. Bush directly starting with his contested election in 2000. He skewers Bush through his initial ineffective presidency, 9/11, his family ties to the Saudis, the redirecting to Iraq, the unreasonable fear, and finally tying it all back to his economically down hometown of Flint, Michigan. He shows how the poor are recruited into the military and yet few congressmen's sons are sent to Iraq. This is the manifestation of his Oscar acceptance speech for Bowling. He got booed for calling Bush as a fictitious President and Iraq as the fictitious war. This doc and Moore himself have been proved right especially about the war. Often, he is a partisan bomb thrower but this one cannot be denied.
Syl The only scene missing from this documentary is Israeli's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu encouraging to remove Saddam Hussein from power in 2002 shortly before the 2003 American invasion of Iraq for weapons of mass destruction which were never found. I have seen all of Moore's documentaries. Moore'd purpose in film making to inform and entertain audiences. Michael Moore reports what isn't reported in the news. Moore tries to get audiences especially American audiences to see what is happening in this country. Iraq was a catastrophe built on lies about nuclear weapons. America lost thousands of men and women serving in Iraq. There are thousands who are permanently injured. America lost servicemen and women at home from suicides in record rates. What was Iraq for anyway? Oil and deals for Halliburton. It wasn't worth the human loss and devastation.
utdman4 Not being an American citizen' and trying to look at this documentary objectively its hard to believe that so many u.s. citizens voted for the Bush administration. Apart from the fact that this guy is a complete idiot, did people not learn anything from George Bush SNR? did people really believe jnr would be somehow the total opposite of daddy' who was a warmongering, moneymaking pirate, who was friends with the very family that allegedly killed thousands of Americans. I find this totally beyond logic and this is what Michael Moore,s documentary is about' regardless of the hundreds of other questions the the American people didn't get answered by the 9/11 commission, how can a country the boasts to have the best intel services on the planet miss something this important, never mind the attacks and subsequent invasions, there has to be more questions answered about the c.i.a. and f.b.i and any other sevices that lets a tyrant rule their country.
George Roots (GeorgeRoots) "Fahrenheit 9/11", possibly remains just as controversial now as it did back in 2004. Where I definitely consider this documentary to be the one where Michael's opinion really has a much larger presence than it needs to have, it's exceptionally well put together and really shows off some of the well known absurdities of George Bush's time as President.Whereas the first half focuses on Bush's campaign and actions, the remaining half focuses on the devastation of the Iraq War. The segments where people in and outside America "cheerlead" the War, as well as the prisoner abuse kind of unsettles and angers me. The fact that a majority of soldiers are made up from the poorer class systems seems like a no brainer, and I do like it when Moore tries to persuade Senator's to sign up their children. It's crude and absurd, yet sometimes there is no right and wrong when it comes to War.Final Verdict: The only thing left to mention is see it and make up your own interpretation. In many ways it's all a farce, but thanks to the freedom of speech we'll always have our own opinions. 8/10.
