fahrenheit 911

[Mr. Chips]

I seen it today. I have to say that I expected more. Moore was hardly in any of the footage and I guess for me I already knew everything in the movie so it wasn't all that interesting. I think it's great how he lays it all out for people to see though. At least some of the American public can learn from it.

[S.E. Hardy]

Its a serious film. he didn't want to lessen it by making himself one of the main points.

[ToadMan]

I think the strength of the movie is the way Moore does it, he doesn't make statements, and accusations, he just puts out facts, and lets the audience make up their own minds.

 

That's what 'caused the delay in the movies release, if Moor was just slanderous, the administration could easily dismiss the movie as counter propaganda.

 

Good movie... I'll go again when it makes it to our cheap theater (I can't afford $8 a person more than once)

TERRIBLE MOVIE, BORING AS HELL, WALKED OUT IN FIRST HALF HOUR

[juanpe]

don't expect it to be a "movie"... it is more a documentary, kinda Bowling for Columbine... and I think it is a must for those who are worried about social issues AND specially to cry out and "denounce" Bush and his policy

[parkerville]

i saw bowling for columbine, i liked it a lot, but this was so stupid!

[Dan #1]

What made you think it was stupid?

I think it should be interesting to see what bush has done with his power... i have yet to see this movie!

[ToadMan]

Well as I said, Moore did require his audience to think...

 

;)

[Dan #1]

are you implying something about parker? hahaha

 

Yes, i would like to see one of his documentaries one day. I like the fact he doesnt speculate... he just gives facts.

Michael Moore is necessary in the media of today, that's for sure. I think personally that he's a little bit high on his horse so to speak...I get the impression that he thinks he's a "pretty good guy" for doing this, which kinda defeats the purpose...but he's necessary nonetheless.

[juanpe]

thanx to M.Moore, many Americans have realized of what Bush has done to them and to the world, what his real intentions and ideas of "international policy" are... and what kind of government he has built up: a government based of lies (the illegal Irak's invasion), economical power (all the economical scandals in companies who supported his political career), corruption - let's not forget that he won the elections in a very "dark" way and the Enron, Worldcom scandals... - and economical interests (the illegal Irak's invasion just for oil control)...

 

that's what M.Moore shows in his documentaries... just for that, he is necessary for the American audience and for the world audience

The great thing about him, is that he brings to light a lot of things that the american press doesn't point out or dwell on, if they even report it that is. A lot of stuff that is really important doesn't get known here, I hear the most shocking things I've learned about my own country thru the BBC.

how come everyone says im stupid? ive seen the movie and its terrible

[Crusader]

I never said anything of the such.

 

I enjoyed Bowling for Col. and I think I'll enjoy Fahrenheit 9/11 too.

[parkerville]

ya anton thats wut i thot, bowling for columbine was really good, i expected this to be good to, but it was really stupid

[S.E. Hardy]

Did you even see it, parker, because I get the feeling that you didn't. If you really as totally uninterested in politics as you act, then why would you go see a political film in the first place? What were you expecting of this movie, what would have been the 'smart' movie you were hoping for?

[ToadMan]

TERRIBLE MOVIE, BORING AS HELL, WALKED OUT IN FIRST HALF HOUR

I'm not sure if 30 minutes counts as seeing...

 

As for terrible, that is your opinion, I accept that. I don't agree with you, but there isn't much I can do about it.

 

I would appreciate knowing what you though was stupid about it, if you could give me some examples of stupid things in the movie... Did you think it was full of lies, did you think it trivialized the issue. (could you not see because your head was rammed to far up your ass?). The latter aside, I would really like to know your reasoning behind why you think the movie was terrible, and stupid. I would like to know what prompted you to walk out after only 20 minutes.

 

Peace

[juanpe]

first, i dont think anybody said you were stupid, parker... you said you found the movie stupid and people here were asking you why you thought it was stupid

 

second, i also think that if you go to watch such a movie (social and political in its contents) i guess you expect to find - and specially after Bowling for Columbine - some sorta critique against Bush and his policy... that's what you expect to find

 

third, i dont think half an hour is enough time to appreciate such a deep - in its contents - movie as M.Moore's movies

 

and fourht, i would also like to know what you found stupid in the movie... that is, basically, what makes you say that the movie is stupid

 

your opinion? of course, as all opinions yours is as respectful as mine or as any others', nobody insinuated anything different... but, again, in order to say that something is ok, bad, very bad, stupid, horrible, terrible, wonderful, amazing... whatever, you need to say why you have such an opinion, don't you think so?

 

i have explained in a previous post why i think these movies are necessary nowadays, specially living in the "Bush imperialism" world
