hmm, so are you saying Martin Luther King suggesting a boycott of the bus system was wrong because he told others not to ride the bus? there's a difference between not liking the movie because you don't like the story and not liking the movie because it contorts the truth.

pretty much you guys are being hypocrites. you're telling us that we can't tell people that we don't like michael moore. but michael moore can potentially tell millions of people that Bush is bad. not very fair is it?

get over yourself, how can you be so sure of what you know as "the truth." You are clearly a conservative, so you are more likely to believe whaever bush tells you, there's nothing wrong with that, if i wanna hate michael moore, hate him. But y are u attacking the people that actually want to hear what he has to say? Just because some people don't agree with u, doesn't mean you have to come up with some "smart-ass' comment." If you really hate him as much u say u do, y don't u make a film that's pro-bush.

And i'm not telling you anything. You can take wha i say or u can just leave it. u are takin' everything way to personal here.

im guessing most of you are republicans?

hell no!

Fahrenheit 9/11. I thought it was good…very biased, but everyone has a political agenda, even or especially Michael Moore...but i pretty much had my mind made up before seeing the movie...so it didn't change much for me...i still don't like bush...not any more or any less and i still want him out of office now...not any more or any less. but i think for some people though...this movie either fuels their fire for not liking bush or for those who do like bush...find more reason to stick to with him because they don't appreciate this antibush banter..but like i said...i already had my mind made up...

i dont hate moore but i think that i GUESS he has the freedom of speech deal over him so yea he'll take it to make a bias movie. im a repub and am KINDA KINDA KINDA interested in seeing F911 just to see his viewpoint on bush (though i know what the outscome would be). im curious to see the unknown clips of bush and whatnot. dont hate moore but i think he sux on bashing bush.

I know you do, and I'm sure many others share the same sentiments.

However, like I said, there is hardly any truths in politics. Unless you have facts, all you would get are biased opinions because everyone wants everyone else to agree with them.

You can watch his movie, but just make sure that you understand that there are many sides to the story when politics is concerned. You choose whether or not he's telling the truth, but you have to be brushed up on your political science knowledge a bit, or else you'd be pulled into a web of confusion.


Did I say that? No.

I want you to be able to find out your own truth by researching and understanding all points of view when you deal with politics.


Whether or not he's a liar is based on opinionated truths. You should not always listen to what you hear and form your opinions only to base them on someone else's opinions. Hearsay isn't a good way to learn.

thanks for helping me understand. thumbsup.gif

Wow. What kind of person makes a movie to diss the president? i think it just makes america look bad.


i don't think it makes america look bad, it looks bad when you follow along blindly with everything the president says, and never voice your opinions and in this case, opposition, thats what america was founded on....anyway...just found this while reading my Entertainment weekly mag

EW: Ever worry about your tone? I mean, this guy is the President.

MOORE I understand what you're saying. He is the President of the United States. Look, here's a good example of how I feel about this. A couple of weeks ago, out here on Broadway, a guy comes up to me and says, ''I'm a Navy surgeon. And I was on a ship off Iraq the night you made your speech at the Oscars and I was very angry at you. I remember yelling with the others at the screen. Now I just want to apologize. You were right. You were telling the truth.'' And I said, Listen, you don't owe me any apology. Apologize for what? That you believed your Commander-in-Chief? That you believed the President of the United States? Why should you feel bad? You should believe the President, because if we can't believe our President we're in deep trouble. You don't have to apologize for anything. In fact, I want to thank you for offering to risk your life to defend us. I think it would make the founding fathers proud to see the country still survives in their first belief, that's why it's their First Amendment, that somebody has the ability to express themselves and criticize the top guy. That's the country they created. That's the country that gave us Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and Groucho Marx. And that can't be anything but a good thing for America.

He can criticize the president, but it doesn't mean we can't criticize him or his film.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with healthy debate, or questioning...every one has an opinion, and everyone has the right to express their opinion and everyone should also expect that their will be consequences, and or expressions not in favor of their opinion, even me.

I'm a hardcore moderate and I don't follow blindly along with everything the President says. However, I don't follow blindly after someone else's biased opinions either, especially if they're going to whine about how this country's politics and/ or President is bad and whatnot.

I suppose he's trying to make changes by letting people know the "inside scoop" of politics. But in reality, people who are knowledgeable about politics are already quite aware of these things and they have already formed their opinions on them.

What I worry about is people who are not so savvy on politics (which I'm sure is the majority of our youths and quite a few number of adults) watching the movie, then forming their opinions based on the one-sidedness of the movie.

but I happen to disagree with a lot of the ways that anti-Bush people are handling themselves politically.

yea me too. some anti-bush people came and ripped our Bush stickers off our car when we were gone. we never ripped off any kerry bumper stickers b4 and not to the people who ripped off our stickers.

okay hold on. i'm surprised at all the anti-moore sentiments here. sure his movies are biased and are based on his extreme anti-bush standings, but fahrenheit 911, although biased, highlights alot of facts about the war on iraq and the bush administration.

i read that he had a whole team of professional individuals (i forget who they were) to go through the movie with a fine comb to ensure that every single piece of information was accurate.

so sure u may not agree with his opinions in the movie, but there are some things in there (like the video footage of US soldiers abusing prisoners) that just cant be denied. regardless of what he says in the movie (or what he chooses not to show - a topic for much debate), some of the **** that he does show really happened. and its mind blowing. read the reviews:

bbc review

international herald tribune review

I have to agree with the last paragraph you typed. I know plenty of kids that [are democratic in their own opinionated views] went out and saw it and gained even more steam for their beliefs.

Oh, and I guess I shouldn' t break the line of people making 1 statement comments about how horrible he is in general. mellow.gif

I actually saw F9/11 for no reason. It was rather boring and they have no objectives.
But you gotta respect him for standing up tp Bush like that
