In this film, muckraker Michael Moore turns his eye on George W. Bush and his War on Terrorism agenda. He illustrates his argument about how this failed businessman with deep connections to the royal house of Saud of Saudia Arabia and the Bin Ladins got elected on fraudulent circumstances and proceeded to blunder through his duties while ignoring warnings of the looming betrayal by his foreign partners. When that treachery hits with the 9/11 attacks, Moore explains how Bush failed to take immediate action to defend his nation, only to later cynically manipulate it to serve his wealthy backers' corrupt ambitions. Through facts, footage and interviews, Moore illustrates his contention of how Bush and his cronies have gotten America into worse trouble than ever before and why Americans should not stand for it.
FAHRENHEIT 9/11 (2004) **** Documentarian filmmaker and
political gadfly Michael Moore strikes once again this time in his
take on the dubious Bush Administration and the machinations
since 9/11 involving the quagmire of the Iraq War with some
eye-widening moments of jaw-dropping incredulity that never fails
to wake the viewer up with some truly startling media footage and
just how bamboozled the nation has become with politics,
glad-handing and general crookedness that will turn even the
most jaded non-political person promptly to their senses as the
chicanery unfolds in at-times brilliantly funny and smartly edited
(kudos to co-producer/editor Kurt Engfehr, Chris Seward and Todd
Woody Richman) depictions of just how far one can blindly accept
how things have become. A must see. One of the year's best.
