Fahrenheit 9/11
Went to see this last night again with two friends who are serious republicans.
I was interested to see how the audience reacted as well.
Quite a few people cried during the movie. My friends won't be voting for Bush.
Some elements of the movie are clearly and obviously low blows, but there's
simply too much to ignore, too many facts presented through Bush contradicting
himself days apart and so on. Anyone who thinks oil played no part in the war
needs to see the film. Is the film a slanted view? You're damn right. Are there
facts in the film as well? You're damn right.
If you haven't seen it, then you don't have all of the info. You're afraid to
have your views challenged. Go see the movie, then get back to me. It's easy to
see why the republicans want a ban on this film's advertising.
But here's the clincher. The movie is NOT anti republican. It's anti BUSH, who
is really not a republican at all. See the movie, THEN you'll be qualified to
comment.
Did I cry during the movie? Yes, I did. I don't know what kind of person could
watch this film and not be moved by the plight of Iraq civilians and our own
American troops being used like pawns.
What a disaster Bush has brought on the US and the world. He'll soon be
stopped, but too late for too many. Moore's freedom as an artist will
(thankfully) be a final blow to Bush and his people in the political machine.
