Full review
i think that this film is definatly worth a watch. Although there are some slightly questionable moments, i found it really interesting to see what goes on behind the political front. This was especially good when viewing the scenes of George bush talking to the American public or conducting a news interview as all the preperation and conduct before and after can be seen in this DVD. It feels abit like invading their private world. fro example, in one part of the documentary you see bush addressing the world to ask for the support of the American people as well as world leaders. This seemed like a really geninue request for help and support in America's time fo need. however, once the cameras stopped rolling he just turned round and continued playing golf like nothing had happened. We always know that politicians are abit desensitised and two faced but that was really surprising.Anyway enough of that before i spoil the whole documentary!
Although i found Moore midly irrating at times, he still presents a worthwhile, interesting documentary, with some questions that definatly need to be answered. I would recommend this DVD for anyone interested in the politics of America and 9/11, as well as anyone who is generally interested in what goes on behind the cameras. I would also highly recommend it to anyone doing a project related to America, 9/11 or documentaries.
