Posted by PC on 6/29/2004, 2:00 pm, in reply to "How many people saw Farenheit 9/11?" other impresssions: 1. it could have contained something about world reaction, world anger towards the U.S, and bush's policy. that, to me, is huge. the world hates us. bush is the reason why. "coalition" or not. ( agggh!!! "coalition"...that's just the U.S twisting arms.) m. moore could have used bombings all over the world to show that the iraq war has made the world less safe. 2. it could have contained the joseph wilson cia issue, and things of that nature, that reflect both the bush attempts to punish naysayers , and their cherry picking of information for the basis of war. --Previous Message--

i thought it was good. it wasn't perfect or nothing. i thought the level of bush bashing undermined it's total, overall, effectiveness tho. it WAS effective, don't get me wrong, but i felt that this may have reduced it in some ways. i.e. they would show a snippet of an interview or a story, which obviously flamed the administration, and then have bush speaking, flubbing up his words like an idiot to some 60's rock tune. now this is cool...b/c this is what bush does.. but it's a bit extreme, and could have been more subtle in nature since even michael moore has said that he would like to influence the november election. keep in mind most people are there b/c they agree with the point of view being expressed, but to those that do not, it's harsh. a less obvious, tactful(?) approach, would make it easier to swallow for some of those people on the right that are on the fence. i chalk this up to an effort to entertain the viewer, which is fine, if that's what he wanted.
