Fahrenheit 9/11

This is a look back at an important film released in 2004. Michael Moore will release another film in 2007 called Sicko, an attack on America's health care system.

***1/2 Stars
Michael Moore follows up his controversial speech at the 2002 Oscars with a blisteringly controversial look at the Bush administration and how its connections to Saudi Arabia, the Bin-Laden family, and Taliban government officials are staggeringly disturbing. Michael Moore tries to examine the truth behind the thick boundaries of September 11th.

Moore is a brilliant filmmaker. His persuasive words and provacative footage lets the public see a possibility of who George W. Bush really is. First off, let's make it clear that this is an opinionated matter. The facts are visual, yet some very broad. But what makes Moore so fascinating is the dirt he finds. From percentages of Bush's vacation records, to disturbing flight records of the Bin Laden family, Moore gives us footage scarier than Watergate, especially how he finds evidence that Bush may have rigged the 2000 election. Al Gore won Florida, but lately discovered that Bush somehow came to victory.

This is a brave piece of film. Although not as strong as his 2002 Oscar winning Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11 is an interesting and important look of what America is about. Al Gore may come back in the election of 2008, win, and then see Jeb Bush sworn into office in January of 2009.
