Product Description
The most successful--and controversial--documentary in cinema history, filmmaker Michael Moore's heartfelt, hyperbolic jeremiad rails against the Bush Administration and its policies before and after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Mixing his sardonic ambush journalism with news footage and interviews, Moore alleges that the Bush family's ties to Saudi oil money have unduly influenced the War on Terror at home and in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that the White House is using the Patriot Act as a means of curtailing civil rights and stifling dissent. 122 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English; deleted scene; featurettes; more.
To anyone who truly understands what it means to be an American, Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 should be seen as a triumph of patriotic freedom. Rarely has the First Amendment been exercised with such fervor and forthrightness of purpose: After subjecting himself to charges of factual errors in his gun-lobby exposé Bowling for Columbine, Moore armed himself with a platoon of reputable fact-checkers, an abundance of indisputable film and video footage, and his own ironically comedic sense of righteous indignation, with the singular intention of toppling the war-ravaged administration of President George W. Bush. It's the Bush presidency that Moore, with his provocative array of facts and figures, blames for corporate corruption, senseless death, unnecessary war, and political favoritism toward Osama Bin Laden's family and Saudi oil partners following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Moore's incendiary film earned Palme d'Or honors at Cannes and a predictable legion of detractors, but do yourself a favor: Ignore those who condemn the film without seeing it, and let the facts speak for themselves. By honoring American soldiers and the victims of 9/11 while condemning Bush's rationale for war in Iraq, Fahrenheit 9/11 may actually succeed in turning the tides of history. --Jeff Shannon
