Fahrenheit 9/11 DVD

Advantages: Nice to see Bush and Co under attack
Disadvantages: Michael Moore is a left wing Ann Coulter

Michael Moore is the man responsible for me taking an interest in global politics. There, I said it. I thought Stupid White Men was a cool title, bought it, became shocked at all the facts and accusations, and made myself a communist. Thankfully, since then I've grown up a little. It is impossible to review this film without exploring the context, which means yet another dive into the seedy world of post 9/11, American paranoia and the rise of the ...
...the left that Bush and co used the September 11th terrorist attacks in order to justify countless atrocities and wars, you have to realise that the left wing lined their pockets from it as well. Frankly, I believe both ends of the political spectrum ought to be ashamed of the way they have used the death of thousands of people to fuel an explicitly bipartisan political agenda.

Advantages: Interesting facts
Disadvantages: Biased hugely

...This film is typically Michael Moore: guerilla tactics and more about the chase than the actual facts and interviews. It should be watched due to the undeniable amount of strong evidence and accusations regarding the 9/11 tragedy. That said, it is frustratingly biased and it is a shame it does not contain less of Moore's irritating narration and more facts. For those already left politically it is preaching to the choir. For those who are right are moderate the utter lack of any other opinion that Moore's is annoying. Definitely a propaganda style documentary it is worth the watch only to educate yourself on facts you could probably research just as easily on Wikipedia. Not for those looking for well made documentaries.... Read review
