FAHRENHEIT 9/11 Review (no spolier)
I sat back and watched this last night with funfuners (after everyone ditched I may add). Wow, this was a powerful documentary.
Michael Moore starts with the Florida scandal, and then works his way back through some of the 'Bush' history (both father and son). Texan oil, family ties, along with corporate dealings is discussed. 9/11 is introduced without any live footage of the towers coming down, suitable. Then the rest of the movie brings some of what the real war in Iraq is about... and in your face. Some of the footage is very real and hard to watch. Tears, blood, and allot of pain. The movie doesn't really touch on anything new. Simply a collection of information over the past 20 years, filmed into a Michael Moore style extremist way of thinking. Very much enjoyed. Hell it's worth seeing just for the funny ass Bush footage. I give it five stars; must see. As it really does bring allot of good information about our current world together to one screen.

I just saw this yesterday and it is a really good movie.
I was shocked to see that when the first tower was hit, Bush just sat there reading that book in the classroom. Like wtf? Weird, definately 5 stars

I still think he should of got up and attended to the situation, he should of told the class that he was being pulled in on an emergency or sumthin.

^ for an american, he's awfully anti-american and very anti-capitalist who so conveniently appeals to the ignorant masses who dont know any better. not to say that the documentary was worthless... cuz it wasnt... it was thought provoking.
cant exactly quote his views since i dont follow any of that stuff. perhaps u can explain to me how his views are not extremist....

for one he cares about the wellbeing of people, true democracy and he wants to let people know how and what the goverment is actually doing behind that curtain of bullshit if he would be "extremist" he would be walking around with an AK and a cap wit a red star handing out communist flyers.. but hes not doing that now is he? ur saying being anti capitalist is a bad thing? .. well that would make sense if ur greedy and dont care about anyone but yourself and ur friend named "money" and if you had money and power to loose and if you had no interest for the well being of people .. sorda like george bush

^ touche... i understand what ur tryin to say
ive only seen two documentaries by moore: farenheit, and one about nike. his intentions are good (like u said, he cares about the well-being of people). but at the same time i think he misrepresents a lot of stuff like many conspiracy theorists would. its convenient to show the george bush administration at their worst moments ("yes we are devoted to fighting the war on terrorism.... now watch me hit this drive!") cuz he's the director... he can choose what he wants to show and not. is it wrong for me to be skeptical when all moore shows are only biased points? so... u agree with me that moore is anti-capitalist? ok just makin sure... but guess who else is also anti-capitalist? socialist countries like north korea and china. most enterprises, if not all, are owned by the state. suuuure... communism is really fair (in theory) because everyone should be getting paid equally. unfortunately for these socialists, their economies are in shambles (although china is making a comeback because its slowly moving to capitalism), because history has shown us that most successful economies have a free market system (a la capitalism). wow... unless ur a political elite in these countries, there's no social mobility. not like the US... where u can go from rags to riches a lot easier. u must have voted NDP... the party that says "yeah we're gonna get all these awesome programs to help the people of canada but we're also gonna lower taxes too because we're gonna figure out a way to make these programs magically free!!" yet strangely... ndp is quite far to the left, just like michael moore... but hey... i'll give the guy credit... he does a service my informing the public. his documentaries are POPULAR sources of information... but that doesnt make them legitimate

what good has the bush administration done? .. i seriously didnt hear of one sincere thing other than declaring war on defenless people, making the biggest national debt in history, destroying one out of hundred's of saddam's statues, loosing the war in iraq, being hypocrytes about weapons of mass destruction.. the reason that "communist and socialist" countries are so poor is because of Capitalist influence on their economy .. for example america cut off all economic ties with cuba and told their allies to do so as well because america has power over its allies .. america will always find trading partners but its allies wont ... america doesnt have to declare war on a country to make them shit their pants.. they can fuck em economically and thats what america did to canada for the softwood lumber.. thats why cuba and other countries are fucked and deemed as 'third world countries' .. the reason they dont succeed is because greater powers do not let them .. what u think that china, north korea and vietnam are as advanced and developed as the states and canada.. to this day people still live over there in huts and villages picking at rice and bananas without electricity or plumbing.. they are the real working class and thats why communism appeals to them now tell me why do americans have such a fear of communism?? .. because it is a bad thing? .. well when u look at the roots of communism its the fairest system humanly possible next to anarchy Quote:
..the reason capitalists [americans] hate it is because it would mean that they would have to share their wealth with people they dont know, people who they feel are lesser human beings than them because they dont own a multi billion dollar corporation and have nike shoe factories over in the fillipines .. they do not want to share ..because the only thing that they are interested in is control, power, and their own self interests which all lead down to money .. and if the world was socialist or communist they wouldnt have all that power all that money and all that much influence over smaller underdeveloped nations and such economics of communism and communism within a nation have nothing in common .. the first one is how much money goes in and out of the country and the other one is how the money is distributed within the country .. you cant possibly say that countries have bad economies because they are socialist or communist canadian parties are more along the same line .. they are all in the middle .. NDP a few millimitres to the left .. liberals in the centre and Conservatives a few millimitres to the right you can go in depth in this as far as u want .. i was jumpin from this subject to that idea so if somethin doesnt make sense to you i dont care .. read it till it does i dont feel like going over it again NOTHING is legitamate .. everything ever recorded in history is an INTERPRETATION of an event by a person or a group of people you think you know .. but in fact you have no idea .. that is the truth about everything in the world the closest you can get to the truth is if you were an insider or rationally talked to the people who were .. and thats what michael moore did for example .. you think that i am russian because i write all this shit about communism so in ur textbook u write: "so and so is russian because he supports communism .. and thats a stereotype but then again its your interpretation of ME" which is incorrect however legitamate or ilegitamate it was.. why would the goverment tell miramax the big distribution company to scrap the movie?? .. hmm??? if it was so harmless and illegitamate then why did they do that Last edited by Partizan; Jul 31, 04 at 09:25 AM.
