To anyone who truly understands what it means to be an American, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 should be seen as a triumph of patriotic freedom. Rarely has the First Amendment been exercised with such fervour and forthrightness of purpose. After subjecting himself to charges of factual errors in his gun-lobby exposé Bowling for Columbine, Moore armed himself with a platoon of reputable fact-checkers, an abundance of indisputable film and video footage, and his own ironically comedic sense of righteous indignation, with the singular intention of toppling the war-ravaged administration of President George W. Bush. It's the Bush presidency that Moore, with his provocative array of facts and figures, blames for corporate corruption, senseless death, unnecessary war, and political favouritism toward Osama Bin Laden's family and Saudi oil partners following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Moore's incendiary film earned Palme d'Or honours at Cannes and a predictable legion of detractors, but do yourself a favour: ignore those who condemn the film without seeing it, and let the facts speak for themselves. By honouring American soldiers and the victims of 9/11 while condemning Bush's rationale for war in Iraq, Fahrenheit 9/11 may actually succeed in turning the tides of history. --Jeff Shannon
Michael Moore does it again

When I first saw "Fahrenheit 9/11" way back in 2004, I found a fantastic, intresting, shocking, and slightly funny masterpiece. The film explores the tragic events of September 11, 2001, and the political connenctions between President George Bush and the Bin Ladens. It also looks at the current President of the United States, George W. Bush. If there is a message, or an aim, in Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" it is to see how scary the American Government has been in the past decade.
It is the finest documentary in a long time, maybe not as good as "Bowling For Columbine" but it's message was much clearer and it was a much more enjoyable film than the competetor, "Super Size Me".
If you are intrested in the events of 9/11, watch this. If you are intrested in your Government, watch this. If you like Michael Moore, watch this. If you like George W. Bush, watch this. It is sure to change your views.
