You have to take these movies with a grain of salt because there were some misleading segments in Moore's last movie "Bowling for Columbine" and his film style may repeat in this movie.
I guess I just wanted to say this because many conservatives bring up this point but they are scoffed at because people think that they are just criticizing it on partisan groups. So if me being liberal can bring any credibility to this disclaimer, I hope it helps. I know that the first time I watched his documentary I was very swept up in the moment and took everything as true. I did my research though and this wasn't the case for everything.
This isn't to say that I completely dislike Michael Moore. I think that an amazing thing that his movies and books do is grab the attention of people who may not neccessarily care about these issues and bring to light some very valid messages. Therefore, I hope that Moore's movies don't change the opinions of people but rather inspire them to do solid research on the topics and have that be the basis of their political thinking and voting.

I'm glad a very passionate Democrat, such as your self, had the guts to express the truth about Michael Moore's real objective. Moore is full of spin and hate. It is no surprise that Europe and the French loved and gave so many awards for this "documentary". As I have just began to get into politics in the recent couple of years, I am very shocked that many things that I once was true, that comes from the media etc, is inaccurate or just totally false. I could go on forever about Michael Moore and the elite media and have a bunch of people try to yell at me with a bunch of spin, but it's not worth my effort.
I will likely go see this movie but I don't plan on taking any of it seriously. I may be more of a conservative but that doesn't mean that I don't do my research on the truth. If you do like Michael Moore and think Faherenheit 9/11 is a good movie, please do your research afterwards because you will learn a lot.
Kristina, I applaud you for having the guts to write what you did about Michael Moore. I would be glad to have somebody like you lead our government... (even if you are a Democrat j/k).
