PostSat Feb 26, 2005 11:17 am    Fahrenheit 9/11 Who seen it?

I just got done seeing it and I couldn't belieive it. Bush was still reading a book after the first plane hit the tower what kind of man does that? he should have left the school and done his duties. Another thing that upseted me is that Micheal Moore went to congress to see who would try and sign their kids up for the army or other branches and no one did. I guess only the poor have to sacrafice themselfs for this country. Another thing is that a woman lost her son in Iraq and she went by a stand of a woman who was protesting the president, well a lady came up and accused her of being a plant when she told the lady her son died her reply was "Blame Al Quida" its not their fault we are in Iraq thats Bushes fault.

Besides that who is looking forword to see his sequal to this blockbuster named Fahrenheit 9/11�? I personally can't wait.

Good film

I'll agree I was shocked at that portion of the film. I was also shocked about the images of the dead kids and that one getting stiched up. I can't wait to see what people will think of the sequal I know the repubs won't like it though.

I never saw it. I did see Farenhype 9/11 and it basically disaproved everything in the movie. So I didn't bother watching it.

I love when people get upset about the Bush sitting for a full seven minutes. Seven minutes!? Dear God.....He could have prevented the entire attack. What Moore's movie DOESN'T tell you, im sure, is that he was told not to rush out of there. But whatever. Actually a few congressmen did say yes but Moore hit the edit button and suddenly not one did. Moore is notorious for editing his movies. There is no draft. This lday should have told her son to come home. If he chose to defend his nation, then that isn't the President's fault. He was a good man. Now im sure you'll dislike my views and thats ok. Im not asking you to beleive me. Yes this movie was very popular for its hard hitting Journalism. Im assuming the sequal will be about the same stuff. It will probably be as popular if not more. I believe Moore won an award for this movie too.

Isn't it funny how people always try to throw a fit and say everything is a lie when they disagree with it?

Yeah, you can tell from my post that I was throwing a fit. Geez, I need to learn how to calm down. I gave calm responses that you didn't want to hear and suddenly im throwing a fit.....

But if you haven't actually seen it, how can you be so sure that everything was disproven?

I haven't seen either of them, yet.

Well the purpose of Farenhype 9/11 was showing the many inaccuriaces of Moore's movie. It showed each scene or sequance of Fahrenheit 9/11 and then showed how it was a lie. It may have not gone over every scene though.

Whilst I'm not particularly a fan of George Bush, I really can't stand Michael Moore - he (as far as I know) exagerated and didn't go into some of the things into as much depth as he did some other issues and was overly self-righteous. If Bush hadn't have been relected, I can see Moore taking alot of credit for it himself.

It seemed like Moore's little anti-Bush video rather than a professional film if you ask me.

I prefer Moore's other documentary "Bowling for Columbine" so if you've not seen that one, give it a try.

If you've seen Fahrenheit 9/11, you should also see Fahrenhype. Perhaps add some balance?


And yeah, what could Bush have done in seven minutes? Maybe gotten to Air Force One seven minutes earlier? It's not as if he really could have done anything in the first place.

I've seen it too. I was totally blown away. I saw Bowling For Columbine also, but Fahrenheit 9/11 was much more impressive.
Exactly, I agree on what you say Jeff. That the men in the congress don't want to have their sons in the army, all the poor people have to defend the country. Really weird.

I'm really looking forward too to see his sequal

I really liked it. I think he went over board with the bush bashing (and I'm not a fan of bush myself). It was well done other then that though. I think you shouldnt bash it until you've seen it, especially if you have only seen the counter to it.

Unfortunately, that's not true. Moore's movie was the result of work he has been doing for years: making documentaries.

Farenhype 9/11 was an anxious attempt of the Republicans to get back the votes Moore tooke from them.

Moore's intention was to tell the truth, Farenhype's intention was just to refute the facts of Farenheit 9/11.

No, unfortunetly for YOU it is true. Years? It if took years for him to make up lies and stretch the truth, then hes a bigger idiot than I thought. Anxious attempt? Uh huh....."The facts of Farenheight 9/11"? Those words don't go together.

Try and read better. I said he's been making documentaries for years, not that he worked on F911 for years.

But if you seriously think that none of the things in Farenheit 9/11 are true, you're not of this world. Heck, what do I say, you're from America.

Have you noticed how many Americans who emigrated to Europe have voted Kerry? If you look to America from Europe, you'll see the real facts.

Leaving because you don't get your way just shows immaturity. And look at how many things Fahrenhype 9/11 disproved. How ignorant to take people at their face value and just go with what you want to hear.

Actually, no. HE told them not to react, getting out his legal pad. Otherwise, what you say is true. But WHAT would you guys have wanted him to do? Jump out of his seat, rip off his shirt, "Let the bullets hit me first!" There was, really, nothing that he COULD do. What could he have done, hmm? Alarm the children? That's about it

I saw BOTH Farenheit and Farenhype. I know that Founder is RIGHT.

Yep, sure. Enjoying the Kool Aide over there?
1. No, it was not a documentary. My Liberal (quite left wing, enough to believe that we should be attacked first before defending) Speech and Debate team Captain attests to that.
2. He took FEW votes from them.
3. HYPE WAS a documentary. Moore's was not. It was NOT an "anxious attempt of the Republicans to get back the votes Moore tooke from them." That's just a load of crap. FACTS? What FACTS? Watch BOTH, and then form an opinion. Founder, you should too

It's pointless. Kool Aide. Like it?

You know, there are even international agreements/laws saying a nation should be under attack first before defending. That's not being left wing, that's respecting the laws (and in my opinion, being fair, but that's just my view).

And what is "Kool Aide" anyway?

1. Not quite, but either way, it IS a liberal law if it is real.
2. Kool Aid is a juice-like drink here in the US. There is a whole story behind a man (I forget the story...) who was blindly following a RADICAL (and I mean radical) ideology. Therefore, a Kool Aid drinker is one who is blindly following an ideology.
