Farenheit 9/11

I went to see it. I must say I was moved by it. Michael Moore has surely regained my respect. I had heard rumours and conjecture regarding the Bush / Bin Laden family connections before, but this was very illuminating. I don’t want to ruin the film for those who haven’t seen it, so I won’t say much more than it was thought provoking. Also interesting (and shocking) were scenes of the effects of war on the soldiers and their families and the people under seige. Although I lean slightly to the right my neck isn’t as red as I thought it was. I must say after some waffling on whether this latest ‘war’ was right, I feel strongly now that it’s not right at all. If you go and watch this film with an open mind, you can’t ignore what is presented to you. It is quite a powerful piece of antiwar propaganda that one must see for him or her self prior to making any judgements. I’m actaully sorry I ranted before. My neck isn’t red, now it’s my face. Farenheit 9/11 was worth our movie dollars.

Farenheit 9/11

Looks like Michael Moore has another hit on his hands with Farenheit 9/11, an oh-so controversial look at the events of September 11, 2001. ‘Blame the right’ is no doubt the cry. The film, dropped like a hot potato by Miramax initially, has gained a modicum of acceptance with it’s Palme d’Or win at Cannes and is currently beating distribution offers off with a stick. It will be a success, for sure, but I doubt it’s ‘accuracy’ even before seeing it.

Michael Moore serves two purposes. As a voice for the often ignored leftwing ‘bush-did-it’ psychos and self-agrandizement. I have no qualms about predicting his usual heavy handed, often over the top editing style again in this piece. As well, I bet we’ll see a lot of his face as well. You’re not much of a documentarian if you have to stick your self in every scene. It’s about the subject, not you ya twit.

His tackling the subject of 9/11 should be interesting, to say the least. But doesn’t his making money from the events of that day smacck of a bit of scumbag-ism? I’m just throwing it out there.
