OneEightNine Media I almost forgot about how much of an idiot George Bush was back when he was President of the United States. Good thing this film is around to document his stupidity in to popular culture. And this film shows how this downward death spiral we call the new American started. This isn't one of Moore's better documentaries but it is still good. I think he was forced to take a lot of it and edit it over and over again because of the government but whatever. It still shows something wasn't right. But mostly this documentary is about Bush being a jacka$$.. and helping to doom the world for decades to come.

Eric Stevenson I generally don't review that many documentaries because it's hard to classify them in comparison to other movies. I will make an exception if that documentary was particularly notable in some way. I knew I had to see the highest grossing documentary ever made. This is a great way of showing how influential the art of film is. This really did make me look back at all the stuff we had to put through during the Bush administration. At the time of this film's release, we hadn't yet had our second term with George W. Bush. I guess this wasn't as effective as Michael Moore hoped. And thank you for allowing people to post your movies online!It was great to go right back where it started with the 2000 election. Boy, do I remember that! This was released the same year as "Passion Of The Christ" another one of the most significant R-rated films of all time. It's hard for either of them not to be controversial. Moore himself has relatively little screen time, but then again, I haven't seen that many documentaries. The second half is the best as we get into the Iraq War. It does make me realize how much I and our nation has grown since then. Yeah, we still have terrorist threats like ISIS out there, but I really feel we've gotten smarter. I have high hopes that Donald Trump will not win the election.What's great about this movie is getting to see all the brief interviews with the people. We completely feel for what's going on and how it's affected us all. I think there are some inaccuracies or things that are presented poorly. The film says that Bin Laden's family was in the vicinity of the Bush administration. While technically true, it should be noted that Bin Laden has many relatives, many of which are barely associated with him at all. I'm glad to stick it to Christopher Hitchens for not liking Moore. Then again, he hated everybody. ***1/2

Rickting Fahrenheit 9/11 is the most controversial documentary ever made. Michael Moore's film, which is the highest grossing documentary ever, is an extremely one sided attack on the Bush administration, specifically on their handling of the War on Terror post-9/11 and the Iraq invasion. To be honest, while I classify F911 as a documentary, it does stretch the term considerably, more often than not resembling propaganda. In its attack on George Bush, this has as much subtlety as Nicolas Cage when he's in maniacal mode, and this is one highly manipulative movie. While taking Moore's choice of music, footage and narration, you can always feel his manipulations. Some of the facts in the film appear to be distorted and some people will absolutely hate this movie. However, I will put this out there: Michael Moore might be the best editor in cinema. His editing is borderline genius, and his use of interviews, footage, music and humour, while as stated before manipulative, is brilliantly clever and not only informative and thought provoking, but very entertaining too.The first hour of the 2 hour documentary keeps going up and down. For every inspired moment there's one where the editing and distortions are too obvious. The second hour is where this really hits its stride and becomes more neutral and spends less time forcing its message down the viewers' throats. F911 is, in the end, a very powerful film and even though its methods are questionable it always makes good points and provokes thought. In terms of humour, it's often very funny and although Moore putting all of his personality into the movie could be seen as adding to the one-sided nature of the movie, it still gives F911 a real sense of character and it makes for a very interesting viewing experience. This is definitely worth watching overall. It's flawed and I personally found it a bit grating at first, but it got going and by the end it had grown on me a lot. Even in its weaker scenes there's always a lot of thought and intelligence going into every sequence. This is a bit of a marmite movie, so it's worth seeing to see what your opinion of it is.8/10

Syl The only scene missing from this documentary is Israeli's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu encouraging to remove Saddam Hussein from power in 2002 shortly before the 2003 American invasion of Iraq for weapons of mass destruction which were never found. I have seen all of Moore's documentaries. Moore'd purpose in film making to inform and entertain audiences. Michael Moore reports what isn't reported in the news. Moore tries to get audiences especially American audiences to see what is happening in this country. Iraq was a catastrophe built on lies about nuclear weapons. America lost thousands of men and women serving in Iraq. There are thousands who are permanently injured. America lost servicemen and women at home from suicides in record rates. What was Iraq for anyway? Oil and deals for Halliburton. It wasn't worth the human loss and devastation.
