I've seen most of Moore's documentaries and just like watching Stone's JFK...they ALL have the point of view (correct or not) of the director. Madonna showed the younger generation that NOTHING was UNACCEPTABLE. In fact the more controversy, the better. Right Madonna? You did such a great job, now even YOU can't shock anyone these days!But to my point for writing. I can't help but be wondering if this person who I happen to agree with regarding everything before, during, and after 9/11. In fact I KNOW for a certainty, that our own CIA under the planning and directions of the very same power brokers who are true born US citizens and those not of this country made sure this country had yet one more in a long line of PUBLIC attacks against the people who live in this once great country are manipulated in whatever way they deem required to obtain their goals. Usually, like most things, the truth is buried, BIG money is made or exchanged, and just like your typical magic show...the people are supposed to be looking where THEY want. As long as the truth is never believed by the majority of the country's population, THEY never ever have to fear any type of uprising or reprisals by the (now extinct) Middle Class majority.Just what does this same comment writer who wrote about this movie think or have thought about the Obama eight years of treason? What does this person think of the Clinton's decades of treason and profiteering? Has this same man spent any time at all thinking about how the Clinton's or the Obama's became so rich? I wonder if he is a Trump hater? It's been nearly 13 years since this movie & his post. If you're there, please feel free to write me. I'd post my email, but it's not allowed here. Has Moore made any movie about the 8 years of Obama? I'm guessing NO, but I'll look to be certain.

Fahrenheit 9/11 is the most controversial documentary ever made. Michael Moore's film, which is the highest grossing documentary ever, is an extremely one sided attack on the Bush administration, specifically on their handling of the War on Terror post-9/11 and the Iraq invasion. To be honest, while I classify F911 as a documentary, it does stretch the term considerably, more often than not resembling propaganda. In its attack on George Bush, this has as much subtlety as Nicolas Cage when he's in maniacal mode, and this is one highly manipulative movie. While taking Moore's choice of music, footage and narration, you can always feel his manipulations. Some of the facts in the film appear to be distorted and some people will absolutely hate this movie. However, I will put this out there: Michael Moore might be the best editor in cinema. His editing is borderline genius, and his use of interviews, footage, music and humour, while as stated before manipulative, is brilliantly clever and not only informative and thought provoking, but very entertaining too.The first hour of the 2 hour documentary keeps going up and down. For every inspired moment there's one where the editing and distortions are too obvious. The second hour is where this really hits its stride and becomes more neutral and spends less time forcing its message down the viewers' throats. F911 is, in the end, a very powerful film and even though its methods are questionable it always makes good points and provokes thought. In terms of humour, it's often very funny and although Moore putting all of his personality into the movie could be seen as adding to the one-sided nature of the movie, it still gives F911 a real sense of character and it makes for a very interesting viewing experience. This is definitely worth watching overall. It's flawed and I personally found it a bit grating at first, but it got going and by the end it had grown on me a lot. Even in its weaker scenes there's always a lot of thought and intelligence going into every sequence. This is a bit of a marmite movie, so it's worth seeing to see what your opinion of it is.8/10

... and thus so is this review about a film focusing on what were seen as the effects of the second Iraq war. Let's face it. Chances are you either loved or hated this film before you even saw it. Personally, I liked it a great deal. I liked the fact that Michael Moore uses the politicians' own videotaped words to indict them, but I also disliked the insinuation in the film that American soldiers were jar-heads who enjoyed or were callous about the killing and suffering of ordinary Iraqis as a result of the war. His final thought in the film is an important one - after all the lies told about why we went to Iraq, why would anybody ever trust us again? This lack of trust was important in the context of the 2008 Presidential election cycle. It caused an unusually high level of participation of young people and saw voters of all ages largely rejecting potential nominees perceived as Washington insiders, and besides Sarah Palin, helped elect Barak Obama to the presidency. Much of this can be traced back to the level of cynicism Moore displays in this film.Also, and somewhat off-topic, I have to wonder how it is that Michael Moore was able to see the damage that such quotable quotes from conservative politicians could do, and yet then-presidential candidate John Kerry could not in 2004? If I had been running Mr. Kerry's campaign I would have been constantly rewinding and replaying the moment when President Bush is speaking at a fundraiser talking about "his base - also known as the haves and the have mores". What could have done more damage to the President's faux image as some average Joe who enjoys clearing brush on his ranch in Texas? At any rate, I think that although it is very dated at this point, it is still an important film and is worth viewing as a moment frozen in time. Just realize that this IS Michael Moore we are talking about and that he does like to go over the top quite a bit.

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.
