Fahrenheit 9/11

Posted on August 17, 2002August 13, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “Fahrenheit 9/11” August 17 2004, theater.  We enjoyed this M Moore polemic against Bush and Republican idiocy. Some stellar footage, although Moore is an inconsistent demagogue and really should decide if Bush is too weak or too tyrannical. What is he disgusted by beyond the whole package? A double barreled attack that’s worth seeing despite its flaws. It drifts into sentimentality with the mother of the dead serviceman and suggests that Bush went to war against Afghanistan to build a pipeline from the Caspian see (which strikes me as poppycock) but is otherwise excellent. The clip of Bush at the dinner telling moguls “some call you the elite, I call you my base” is priceless. See it despite its flaws.
