Movie Review (Fahrenheit 9/11) via Sandy

Received via an email from Sandy

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi...I've been discussing Dem. politics, Kerry and Moore's movie with several of you the past few weeks. If you might be interested in another take on it. I think both Republicans and Democrats should see it. Both sides may be surprised. I know I was. He took on the Dems. in many scenes, also. See it and make up your own mind--not what rumor, your church or your friendly politician might say.

Moore supported Nadar four years ago with money and his "celebrity" status, not Gore, not the Dems.

He clearly states on all news shows that he doesn't like Bush. BUT, in this movie he gives reasons why--all reasons substantiated from Bush's own speeches, his top advisor's speeches, the network news, both Fox and CNN, and published books and the nation's top newspapers. Even newspaper columnists who don't like him or the movie, have carried positive comments in their columns on the movie. He carries the actual broadcasts, with permission of all the networks.

Despite what you may have heard, Moore takes potshots to the Democrats too in several scenes.

He hires three independent, nonpartisan fact checkers and an attorney before he puts his movies out. One of the news shows carried this information. Data from aired tv news programs have cited attribution of his facts from normal journalist national newspapers of award winning, high quality standards. New York Times, Washington Post, etc. and from books and authors who have covered the events.

He takes time to let many people speak for themselves, both for Bush and against. It is funny at times, poignant at times, sad at times. I hope you will see it.
