Yes, go see it and see what liberals think of our nation. WE are the cause of Everything bad in the world. OUR actions cause people to hate us. The only reason we went to war was a pipeline to get rich in Afghanistan. Punch line: Bush does not get rich on a pipeline but Moore does lying about him. Give me a break.
Must-see for anyone considering military enlistment
This film is a must-see for anyone considering military enlistement, because it clearly points out that military personnel have become the paid thugs that make the world safe for the big corporations, especially oil, and not the protectors of democratic freedoms. Michael Moore has done us a service by showing the real truth behind the lies that the administration and the media have been pushing for 2 and a half years. If the media were doing its job, this movie would have been seen by relatively few people. Since it has not, people are flocking to it to try to figure out what is really going on. I think Mr. Moore has done a pretty good job of outlining it all.
Now that the 911 Report is out, I don't think Moore's suppositions can proven to be true. This movie is one-sided propaganda made to show everyone, except a few politicians, to look like idiots. How sad that people will make voting and making decisions based on this movie. I guess our country will get what we deserve.
Okay, the point of this movie as a hint to question our media's coverage of world events is fantastic. We need to do that. But the point of whether or not the Bush administration is good and using this film as a means of determing that, is BAD. Yeah, you can use this film to look at the general liberal point of view, I suppose, but to say that this is an absolutely must-see movie to judge the current administration is single-minded and ignorant to the fact that nowhere in this movie does Moore use a central point of view in considering things. He's too bent on making the Bush administration look like a bunch of idiots. This film has some truth in it, but it's biased truth and it's important that all viewers keep that in mind. Moore intentionally picked bits and pieces of footage to twist things and make everything the Bush administration has done look like devillish work. Yes, it's truth, but truth only goes so far when other truths have been removed.Thus, I recommend this film to people my age only if they keep in mind that Moore is an extreme leftist and has created an extreme leftist film. This film should NOT decide your political stance.
I'm the last person you're going to find defending the Bush administration, but just because I don't like Bush very much doesn't mean that I agree that someone should make a movie that is so inaccurate just to make him look bad. A lot of people took this movie seriously, despite the factual errors contained therein. In any case, the movie is not really that inappropriate, so it should be fine for most teens. Even though I strongly disagree with this movie, it should still be watched just to encourage independent thought.
This is a powerful, must see movie. I think that in light of everything that has happened of late in our political world, and most of all because of the failure of the mainstream media to properly cover the key issues of the day, parents should take kids 13 and older to this movie. It has some amazing footage that none of us have ever seen before, including great scenes about the stolen votes in Florida and some extremely revealing scenes about Bush, Wolfowitz et al. Sure, it's a political documentary that sometimes goes over the top, but older kids need to see what's been happening in this world of ours and have the chance to talk with their parents about it.As my daughter would say: "It's the Bomb!" Go see for yourself...and then go vote.
It was well known that Michael Moore did not like that Bush was elected president over Gore. So how objective is he? There are huge lessons for parent and child even before the movie starts.
There were a few language issues that may concern some parents. The violence was gory and uncensored, but so is the war. The reason I didn't list violence as an issue is that the war is still occurring so it is far more of an issue if citizens don't know about the violence than if we do. The only reason I didn't say 2 & up as far as violence is that before they can appreciate this film, kids do need time to develop a moral understanding of what is happening when people are be bombed and shot.
A great movie talking about how Bush rigged the 2000 election, how he was involved in 9/11, the real reason of invading Afghanistan and Iraq, and a verysuprising and unthoughtof way he keeps and rich richer, and the poor poorer. The 'R' rating in the US was obviously only put because Bush didn't want teens to seeit as no one under 17 can see it without adult. The MPAA defenition of 'R' is "The movie may contain strong violence (including gore) and language, drug uses, sexual content, and/or full-frontal nudity.". The movieonly has some war scenes with bodie sinbad shape.
