Fahrenheit 911

Yesterday is the third year memorial day of 9-11. I cannot skip this day without posting something about it. My flowers go to all the people (from various nations) who were killed in that disaster.

I bought Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 911 DVD from a video store at Tian Lin around 9:00 PM, after swimming at Sports Hotel. I admit it is pirated, the only channel to access the film here in China. The film importing administration has decided not to import this film this year.

Putting the video into my Shinco DVD player, I started the journey to explorer the stories behind the scene. I know it is only one of the many voices in United States regarding 9-11 events, but the fact that this film came out is astonishing. When my day of Sept 11 passed, I finished the movie. Well. I don't want to comment on the content of the film, but I appreciate Moore's courage, reasoning and fact finding efforts. It is a nice film.

I have to admit that I was a little dissapointed after watching Fahrenheit 911. It was definitely not as good as 'Bowling for Columbine'. Moore took up too many issues and the movie in a whole was a little out of focus. Besides, he could have criticized Bush more elegently with out too many funny cheap comments.

Both of his movies are jokes....

Although I do agree with some of the comments of Michael Moore, one should remember that when watching the film one should not take all he says as FACT. Yes, many of the things are true, but some are just speculation. Always look at both sides of the story and then make your own decision on what you beleive.

The movie is definitely entertaining though.

Look at Michael Moore's background, he has been againsting Bush for several years and publishing a few books as well. However, Farenheit 9/11 is a dissapointed piece which is not powerful enough to influence mass audiauces.

I wish more people were "againsting" Bush. Then there would be a bigger chance for him NOT to be reelected.

Jeez, a convicted drunk driver, putting his and other people's lives at risk is okay......but poor Bill gets a blowjob and all hell breaks loose. Ha, I am still laughing. What a country.
