    If your biased coming into the film....

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 1, 2004 | 33 out of 46 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Presents plenty of solid facts

    Cons: Plays at the emotions a little too much, Moore slants the films point of view to his own

    I just want to start off by saying that whatever your opinoin about Michael Moore, every American owes it to themselves to see this film. This is because it is shown what interests that the President has in Iraq besides terrorism (which there has ne...ver been established a link between terrorism and Iraq). Also is the infamous moment when President Bush froze under pressure when America was attacked.But, there are parts where it becomes a little shameful the way Moore plays to the viewers emotions. He does this by having a mother of a dead soldier read a letter from her son that died in Iraq. In the letter he admits that he does not understand why anyone would consider re-electing Bush.There is some comedy in the film in the form of irony. In one scene Moore stands outside of Congress and asks Congressmen one by one as they walk by to enlist their children into the military and into the war. He does this because there is only one senator and no one in the House has a child in the military.Having said all of this, I will re-instate my opinion that while there may be a little of an agenda on Moore's behalf, the facts are a bit overwhelming and so is the corruption that you will be a witness to. To anyone who refuses to see this movie because Moore is a "liar and left-wing nutcase" my answer is to quit rationalizing and go out and just see the movie. Watching it doesn't mean that you agree with it.And anyone that says that it is not factual and not a documentary without seeing it is just ignorant. Read more Less

    Scary to think about, yet it is the truth

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 11, 2004 | 8 out of 14 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Provides an insight on how Bush lied to us and paralyzing us with fear, the rating of "R" is appropiate for some scenes

    Cons: Not sure how effective it would be if a conservative would view this

    This movie is darn right scary to me, yet I think it tells an accurate picture of how the administration are using fear to their advantage. I think the issue of fear is the main focus because on 9/11, we were paralyzed with fear because we didn't... know who to believe and who to trust, yet this movie show the events on how the government used our fears for their own political gains. Prior to the Iraqi War, I actually believed what the president said and the actions he did. However, the events after the Iraq war and the scenes that showed our troops abusing the prisioners made me feel pathetic as a human being. To be quite honest, I couldn't sleep on the night after I watched the movie because I was upset and angry to even think that these possibilities could be true. I think after watching this movie, the events that were shown may or may not answer these key questions: Are we a democracy or a dictatorship? Are we American citizens who are champions of freedom, or people who are the arrongant, that live in the only superpower? Are we compassionate, kind loving people, or are we inhumane and hateful? Can we trust this president, or can't we trust him? Is our government scaring us to keep us safe, or are they scaring us for thier own political benefit?I don't know what to think anymore. I think this is a good movie to have some soda and some popcorn around, but just in case you may get angry and/or upset, I would recommend sleep aids too. The rating of "R" is appropiate for the movie. I am actually convinced of what I saw is true, yet I'm not sure if it convinces the conservative population. Read more Less

    Farhenheit 9/11

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 11, 2004 | 15 out of 29 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Good news clips and commentary

    Cons: Sometimes over the top

    Whether one agrees with Michael Moore on every point or not, we all need to pay attention. We are being bamboozled by this administration on many fronts. My favorite bumper sticker reads, "If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention.&...quot; Watch this movie, read some of the books that are out there, be outraged, take back the country.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 5, 2004 | 4 out of 7 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Opening Title This Movie is for Entertainment Purpose Only

    Cons: The facts are not facts Watch FarenHYPE 9/11

    I have watched both movies Farenheit 9/11 and I have watched FarenHYPE 9/11 FarenHYPE 9/11 showed how Moore lied and twisted facts around. That was his only agenda for this movie. It was money motived. In Farenheit Moore approached Congressman and as...ked them to in list there kids into the war. I thought this was a free country not a draft country which Moore was trying to do. Read more Less

    Not the Best Movie I Have Ever Seen

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 1, 2004 | 3 out of 5 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: None

    Cons: Biased to the point of being ludicrous

    This "film" is basically a slant on how Michael Moore sees things. Although I respect his opinion, I think it is a stretch to promote this movie as fact. There are many things that go on behind the scenes that we don't know about, but... again, there are three sides to every story. (George Bush's, Michael Moore's, and the Truth) It is easy to understand that we probably never know all of the facts about Iraq and all that happened on 9/11, and this movie doesn't get you any closer to knowing the truth.

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 17, 2004 | 1 out of 1 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Nothing

    Cons: Content

    Entire review below is "my opinion."Researched at length & found content misleading, somepeople interviewed were "not" interviewed & spoke outabout this, facts were twisted to fit Moore's viewsand found it basically anti-Bush ...even if full contenthad to be eliminated to foster Moore's opinions. It ismy opinion that when a documentary is filmed it shouldbe honest & present "all" of the aspects of it's fullcontent. This was, "in my opinion", so far beneathMoore as a filmmaker that it wasn't worth the moneyand I was relieved I watched a friend's instead ofspending hard earned money on a piece of junk. I feltthat if a professional had to stoop this low perhapshis candidate was the wrong candidate. Read more Less

    Moore Rubish

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 29, 2004 | 1 out of 1 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: Plays well to weak minded people

    Cons: Full of lies and distortions

    Why is it that celebrities think we want to hear what they think?

    This is an obvious case of opportunistic money grabbing. Moore is taking nothing less than a cheap shot at making himself money.

    Propaganda at its most slatternly

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 19, 2004 | 7 out of 14 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: None

    Cons: Proposes that we accept supposition as "fact," ergot the documentary label.

    Totally un-founded and un-researched. Whether or not one supports the President or not, this film is utter tripe. You want to provoke discourse? Fine: give me facts. Give me documentation. Give me...well, give me SOMETHING YOU CAN PROVE and THEN... let's have a discourse. Wild rantings and baseless accusations with little or no factual backing is not "documentary" or "informative." It is propaganda, pure and simple. Just definitional folks. Read more Less

    terrible film

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 21, 2004 | 6 out of 12 found this Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) review helpful

    Pros: none

    Cons: everything in the film

    The film was terrible... All Moore did was act immature and like an idiot the whole time!! Half the stuff he came up with throughout the movie was immaterial and senseless nonsense, if you know what I mean. How would he like it if someone made a film... about HIM and just ripped him to pieces and didnt say anything good about him and made fun of him the whole time? maybe after that he wouldnt act like such a jerk all the time. I cant believe people actually paid money to watch that kind of garbage. (I saw it for free and I am still regretting wasting that hour and a half on this piece of junk). Read more Less
