Sometimes hollywood goes a little to the extreme in it's views of political issues. Mikie Moore has just got to be laughed at, this documentary is so one sided that it's laughable. I suppose that you could make a documentary from the other veiw, so whats the point. This is just what the director whants you to believe. This is just a slap in the face of the U.S. military. Just a thought!

Moore lays out facts. Then he takes those facts and often uses them out of context or weighs them out of proportion to draw dubious conclusions that support his views.
But at the heart of it, there are still facts. He had a staff of fulltime independent fact-checkers working on F/911 unlike Bowling for Columbine. Whether you like his conclusions on this one or not is up to you, but the facts are the facts. He may not show all the facts, such as those that might detract from the point he's trying to make, but a partial truth is still the truth. What he them uses those truths for may become a lie, but at the core there are truths. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this flick is gospel truth or anyone *should* see it. It's an opinion piece, as Moore has repeatedly said, despite the occasional slip (he thinks of himself as a documentary film-maker, though one with an agenda). What I'm saying is that it's no less valid that the lies that are constantly spread from the white house under this administration. Massive WMD stockpiles anyone? Iraq-AlQaeda ties? Nigerian Uranium? Humanitarian crisis? This is a government that lives by dispensing with the truth and presenting a singular view of the world that supports its actions. It's about time someone came along to poke a hole in Bush's aura of untouchability, and imperfect as Moore is, he's what you've got. |
