Fahrenheit 9/11 - Trailer

[Kristina]

Of course, Mr. Moore is being selective in what he chooses to include in his movie; he's a polemicist, not a journalist.

I think that this is something very important to remember. Since I haven't posted in a while and incase anyone forgot, I am a very passionate Democrat (working on the Kerry campaign & President of the UCLA Bruin Democrats). Therefore, I'm obviously happy with people not voting for Bush. What worries me a little is if they did it on the basis of this film. 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.
