well I saw Fahrenheit 9/11
Completely factual? No. Nor what I went in expecting.

It was a gripping view of the human element of the war from both perspectives. The whole day was sold out at the Upper East Side theater I saw it in.

see it...it's the nail in the coffin.

1. Just the contrast
Between the suffering -- of the Iraqis, and of our soldiers and Bush's life of idle wealth is enough to make you :puke:

2. The facts are wrong?
Which?

Drawing facts together and building a dramatic contrast is what I take from the viewers retelling. I have not seen the movie and find it hard to believe that there was enough intentional and factual errors to discredit it.

3. inference
I suppose it's less about "wrong" facts ans more about the inference from seemingly separate details.

The connection between Bush's fellow National Guardsman that both didn't show up for medical examination.

The Saudis and Bush have a cozy relationship and the Saudis have a troubling stake in America, but what does it have to do with 9/11?

4. Me, Too, 'chacho
The media whores had made me expect an overbearing, rabid Michael MOORE eating up the screen. It was low-keyed, but intense, and very moving. Loved it.
