Farenhiet 9-11: The Reviews
Edited on Sat Jun-12-04 05:59 PM by Nightjock
For the select few who have seen it so far...they are almost unanimously a HUGE thumbs up.

Many of the reviews give some great insight into what is in the film. Enjoy!

10. The list is incomplete
call your local art house theater; chances are that they will be showing it.

6. It is not out yet
It opens on June 25th and will open up in more theatres than any documentary in history.

9. From one review:
Politics and crookedness certainly do go hand-in-hand from time to time, but when a subject matter as important as an actual war against another country, in which the lives of every day freedom-loving Americans are put to risk (and innocent foreign civilians, of course) at the whim of a man who seems to have about as many conflicts of interest in the war, than anyone ever had any conflicts of interests in anything...you really have to wonder hard about the theory that places fire where there is lots and lots of smoke. And Mr. George W. Bush...is burning up! As per COLUMBINE, Moore uses his narration to take us through a variety of his findings beginning with the debacle that turned out to be the 2000 election in the first place, to the relationship between Bush and the Bin Laden clan before he became President, the suspicious way the FBI decided to fly the entire American contingent of the Bin Laden family out of States two days after 9/11 without even holding any of them for questioning (wouldn't it have made sense to, at the very least, have asked them a couple of questions about their crazy uncle/brother?), as well as the relationship between the Saudis, the Bushes and oil. We also get plenty of actual footage from inside Iraq (included an entire sequence that follows a U.S. troupe's Christmas eve interrogation of a seemingly unsuspicious Iraqi family), as well as humiliations that some of the U.S. soldiers cause onto certain Iraqi detainees. Most of the footage also gives you the impression that many of the soldiers, sadly, do not even seem to know what they're doing there, are receiving mixed messages and can't understand why everyone is so pissed off at them (here's a clue: your President is an asshole).
