Burn, baby, Burn: A Review of Fahrenheit 9/11

by Pamela Oswald Thursday, Jul. 08, 2004 at 5:23 AM

Micheal Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 is a documentary everyone should see.

Micheal Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 is a documentary everyone should see. Pundits on the far right and in the corporate media who insist this film is "liberal propaganda" are absolutely correct; if propaganda is the connective tissue which makes relevant facts accessible to the average person, then yes, this is certainly propaganda. That it stands alone as possibly the sole example of progressive commentary which has reached a mass audience lately is not only a testament to Moore’s genius, it is also a symptom the parched ideological landscape to be found in 21st century American media. Disney, who had originally been contracted to distribute it, declined upon learning of the films’ content. Of course the capitalists don’t like it; not only does it expose several unsavory examples of conflict of interest at the highest levels of the current administration, it is executed in the peculiarly effective manner Moore perfected in his previous films, Roger And Me and Bowling For Columbine.

The material mined by Mr. Moore will not be news to many in progressive circles.

it was okay

by more rational Thursday, Jul. 08, 2004 at 9:10 AM

It was an okay movie, but there's been some valid criticism that it's racist, and that it fixates blame on Bush rather than larger trends in Western relations with the Middle East.

I thought it was a great tearjerker, and I cried, and it was good for that.

It's cool, though, that people can now pay $10 to see it all condensed into the Reader's Digest version of history.

Moore the capitalist

by Paul Heyman Thursday, Jul. 08, 2004 at 10:11 AM

Moore carefully crafted a product to cater to that market. He should praise the American Dream instead of trying to eat it.

For those still out of the loop, "documentary" does not equal "truth," only the biases of the director's ideas.

Eight years of Clintonian corruption is evidence enough of what happens when America backs down to rogue states.

Appeasement doesn't work and never will.

Islam must grow or die, if real civilizations are to survive.
