I see this is selling for $1.68 Used (that's too much) I want the time in my life that Michal Moore took from me. Truth about Terrorism - This film isn't truth about anything.
Perfect! I won't even acknoweldge the left-wing reviews as, not shockingly, 95% of those just attack and show they did not read the book---for a change.
I watched the movie and read the book a few years back, then shared with friends. The "liberals," proving they are intolerant, and thus not liberals, refused to read or watch. The others enjoyed.
It's fascinating because the premise of debunking Moore is so easy. Just use facts. That's what the authors do.
Moore cuts and pastes random articles, clips footage together to spew his hate-filled nonsense, and just plain lies and relies on the emotion of the types of folks who'd support Barack Hussein Obama.
Please take a look at this before the 2008 election. It is easy to follow, well-researched and factual.
Bottom line is, despite the media fawning all over his incessant lies, Moore still failed, as usual, in the summer of 2004. Bush won.
A LAUGH A MINUTE! The failure of "documentaries" made to criticize Michael Moore or his "documentary" style is that they all fall under the wide umbrella of modern propaganda film making; just like Michael's do. I am more interested in film as a way to make commentary on society or as anthropology. I am not interested in political propaganda for the right or left. As a political radical and syndicalist, I relate with Michael Moore (who has called liberals "wimps" for not actually doing more to support those ideas and people they champion - source: audio book guide to "TV Nation") at times. Moreover though, I am just frustrated by the amount of screen time that he gives himself and how narrow of a window he provides to telling half of the story. FarenHYPE 9/11 was extreme right wing Propaganda; it was interesting to me that they chose to make it a character assassination piece about both Clinton and Moore; which obviously, to my values is completely self-defeating. Moore is not the king or champion of the left. He's just another guy making movies. Believing that America is so polarized that if they hate Bush that they love Clinton is another totally failed concept. Even though it fails to make a point, it has reasonable production values and is entertaining (I laughed out loud at some of the logic leaps and attempts to string clips together to undermine Moore's points). It is hilarious that the best undermining they can do is to try and "source" Michael's material and track down his interview subjects.
This documentary does very little to achieve its own thesis. It is more interested in raising fists on the right than it is creating a dialogue or even a reasonable take on the facts.
I think Sam Green's Weather Underground is an excellent documentary as it doesn't let you know where he stands on his subject matter. He's telling a story and tellinig us cleverly about alternatives to voting for political frustration. Noam Chomsky is vastly more entertaining than Moore just by sourcing his material and never having to bend any ethical priniciples to crush his debate opponents.
Thank God Thank God there are people who are willing to tell the truth to the public about the lies of Michael Moore. Hopefully Michael Moore's views never become main stream or we are all doomed. I could only hope a terrorist drops a bomb on his doorstep. Unfortunatley they are probably more likely to send him flowers.
Hitting back at the "Moore Mainstream Media" complex. Shortly after Farenheit 9/11 hit the theaters back in 2004 there were quite a few articles, some not even in obviously conservative publications, that questioned and exposed much of what was seen, and the conclusions reached, in Moore's political documentary.
Sadly it was like I was the only one who noticed this. Most everyone I knew just lined up to pay money to see a manupulative piece of propaganda and they just came out of the theater bleating the same bleat, "Bush is baa-aaa-aad". It seems there are many people these days who think Hollywood and the movie theater is the first and best source of information about the real world. It's scary to watch this phenominon in action.
So, I performed an experiment and I watched Faharenheit 9/11 and this documentary back-to-back. Sure, this could have been better. I sure would have gone with a different title, but still I would recommend this for anyone who has seen Faharenheit 9/11 and still has any desire to think critically and question what they see on a movie screen. At least it does directly address and expose some specific scenes in Faharenheit 9/11 and shows how they twisted reality. That alone is worth a look.
