Farenheit 9/11
Farenheit 9/11
This is one of the best movies ever. Pity I waited so long to watch it. Made by Michael Moore in 2004, this movie is about how George W. Bush "cheated" his way into becoming the President of the U.S.A. The movie reveals how several members of the Black community were disenfranchised, so that their votes to Al Gore could not be counted. The Blacks still tried to stop Bush Jr. from becoming President, but not one member of the senate would vote against Bush Jr. Probably coz they were all his daddy's friends.
Once elected, on the day of his confirmation, his car was pelted with rotten eggs; and thus, for the first time in the history of the Unites States, a President did away with the customary walk to the White House, and, instead, drove by quickly in his car.
The day the twin-tower tragedy struck, Bush Jr. was at an elementary school reading out to children. When informed of the grave attack on the WTC, the President did nothing for about ten minutes. He continued reading out to the children.
Micheal Moore reveals how every company that Bush Jr. was ever a part of did terribly. He was funded by Saudis and had ties with the Bin Laden family that went back three decades. Moore also reveals how despite clear indications that Osama was behind the attack, Bush allowed twenty-odd members of the Bin Laden family to fly back to their country without even a routine questioning.
Moore says that later, Bush and Rumsfeld created an atmosphere of terror by giving out reports of terrorism, which were meant to scare the public. By giving out confusing messages, the Bush administration had the American people in a state of panic.
They also built a case against Saddam Hussein saying he was harbouring weapons of mass destruction. However, these "weapons" could never be found. Instead of going after Osama, they went after Saddam and declared war on Iraq. Thousands were killed and wounded, severely maimed for life. It was like Vietnam all over again.
Soldiers who were posted in Iraq wrote to their mothers saying that they did not want to kill these innocent women and children, cilvilians who clearly knew nothing.
But the war went on and Bush Jr. justified it saying that it was in the best interests of the people of Iraq. It was to enable a stable government in Iraq.
And the documentary goes on to show in a most moving and heart-rending way, the very real pain felt by the families affected by the war.
Moore tried to get senators to enlist their children in the army, but no senator wanted his or her child to be send to this meaningless slaughter.
This sad and grave story is the story documented by Micheal Moore. He uses his wit to highlight all the wrongs that took place and are still taking place in the world today.
For his efforts, his film won an award in 2004.
