Fahrenheit 9-11

So I went and saw this movie friday night of last week...opening night.
Not only was our 9:30pm show sold out, but the movie didn't start until almost 10:15pm because the show before ours was sold out and it took forever to get people in and out of the theatre.
It was apparently like this all across the 868 theatres that played this movie this weekend. Fahrenheit made more this weekend than Bowling for Columbine did in the entire time it was out in theatres.

Now, about the movie. Go see it. It doesn't matter whether you are liberal or conservative, this has nothing really to do with moral viewpoints. The fact is: we are being lied to and deceived and cheated. And it is infuriating.
Some could say that Michael Moore was twisting the facts, and I will admit, there is a liberal bias to several aspects of the movie.
however, I had read some of the facts he presented long before I saw the movie, and I got them from legit sources, like the BBC. I also highly doubt that Michael Moore would present facts without double and triple checking them; I'm sure that the Adminstration is just waiting for him to slip up on the slightlest fact to take him to Court and ruin his reputation.

I could go into detail about points made in the movie, but I doubt I could do this without becoming very angry. As I have said before, "Bowling for Columbine" makes you embarassed to be an American, whereas "Fahrenheit 9-11" will make you outright ashamed to be an American. And it is not the fault of individuals, for the most part. It is the fault of our corrupt leaders. The thing that frustrates me the most, is that there are rumors and blatent things going on that everyone knows about and no one does anything about it. It angers me that I can't do anything about it.

Whether you are conservative or liberal, like Dubya or hate him, Republican, Democrat, Green Party or Independent-- GO SEE THIS MOVIE. If you don't want to believe what is presented to you, maybe at least it will prompt you to do your own research and to go and find out for yourself what is truth.
