Thank you for bringing this Fahrenheit 9/11 advertisment to the blog. After seeing the film, I can say it is a tremendous accomplishment for Michael Moore. Not only does he offer opinions on how the Bush administration has done this and other countries wrong, he backs his claims up with astonishing evidence, some of which is no longer provided by the government! Parts of this evidence is seriously graphic and questionable for those with weak stomaches. In different parts of the film however, Moore has you laughing heavily at his narrorative analysis of events and some goofy shots of Bush (among other things). It's almost like an extreme episode of M*A*S*H. There's no question that this movie's a Bush basher but it's done in a smart, genuine, and compelling nature. I recommend it to everyone, especially those who are planning to vote for Bush.
