Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 Is A Smash At Cannes !

Damn I want to see that film. I hope it gets played in the USA somehow, they're the ones who need to see it most.

N Say,

I have no doubt it will be shown in the USA. Infact I read on Moore's site that he has no doubt either.

Dr. Caleb. How did you get to see it already?

I agree with some of the remarks from the critics who say the documentary distorts some of its content. However, I think if one looks at the details of the documentary its only telling us stuff that has already been known to the public through books written and T.V interviews, and as well as the 9/11 comission's report. So although most people are right that he does distort some of the content, they can't argue all of the details like the ones I will mention below.

****
Bush and Saudi's business relationship. Moore's documentary is not the only thing that has exposed this. Some American writers wrote books about this as well. Actually there's a CIA agent that appeared on CBC interview that revealed this information as well. And the footages Michael uses in his documentary look real to me.

****
Bush and his administration refused to act on the danger of Bin Ladin attacking the U.S. (This we know as a fact from the commission report into 9/11). Richard Clark and a former CIA agent who I've read some material from all have documented the danger that was to come but no one in the White House would listen.

Strange thing is it was Richard Clark's job to let them know of danger, but why didn't they listen to him? Oh yah the National Security Advisor Condoleeza rice came up with the idea that the statements in the document was too Vague. What was the statement? "Unbelievable news in coming weeks"; "Big event...there will be a very, very, very, very big uproar"; "There will be ATTACKS in the near future". Too vague? I think not especially when the Terrorist have proven capable of attacking the WTC once a few years before.

****
Bush focused more on Saddam then he did on the Saudi's and Bin Ladin (WHY?)
Why hasn't the U.S went after the country they know funded Al Qaeda -- (The Saudi's). 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi yet the Saudi's are getting a brake. WHY? Michael Moore conducts some interviews in his documentary where the interviewer states that the Bush administration wanted to know Iraq involvement. Still know data to support Iraq had any involvement. Although I'm glad they got Saddam out, the real issue was about fighting the real terrorist threat, its not about fighting Saddam for his evil doing which has been going on way before 9/11.

I'll say it again that I totally agree with those that say Michael distorts some of the content. It is disrespectful of Michael Moore to distort some of his content to make a point. However, some of the details (if you read between the lines) you see that he is only telling us things many of us already know.

With this documentary he will reach a new audience who don't know some of this information. The only downfall is some of the distorting he does in the documentary. In the end a new audience will know some of the details in this video that others already know that come from other sources like the commission report, T.V interviews, and many other books written on the subject.

I'm also looking forward to watching the documentary "Michael Moore Hates America". I'm sure that documentary will use distorting as well. Most political or social issues documentaries use distorting to drive through a point. Its not only Michael Moore that does this.
