Not an issue, those who like the stupid movie already disliked Bush, no big deal.

I was an american soldier that served in O. I. F. and O.E.F. I haven't liked George W. Bush since he stood on T.V. and with a half smile say this is war, concerning the war in Iraq. I have also paid close attention to him and John Kerry during this election. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that this movie doesn't qualify as being the reason I will not vote for Bush. I will not vote for Bush because he has no reason for any action that he has produce while in office, because he is an arrogant dictator want-to-be, and he's about himself not the american people. So as far as the movie is concerned congrats on an excellent show of truth. I for one could care less what falsehoods an independence institute, probally funded by George W. himself, has found. Thank you

If you liked Monty Python you'll love this movie. It is a very moving plot using mostly regular nightly news footage, interviews, old classic movie & TV show also previously unseen war atrocities as too much violence to be shown to the public. I'm a news junkie and can vouch for most of the news clips. I've had many of the same thoughts as Michael tries to portray. I think anyone taking the time to watch this show will have a much better idea of what really goes on in our world! The scene of trying to enlist our Congressmen's children for service in Iraq tells it all!! Wake up America and see why we are becoming hated around the world!

We're from the midwest where the economy has done nothing but go down hill since bush got elected. I think if he wants a war send his kids--it's time the world say his arrogance--hopefully it will be bye-bye to the little rich boy this fall.

i give the american people more credit for their intelligence; it seems nothing this slovenly dolt says has any credibility unless you are a left wing lunatic or you hate america.

This seems like just another thing that only a few were affected by. However, you know how many people saw this? It will be a factor on election day.

If this has any effect, shame on all of us.

Perhaps the worst on the list. Is anyone really going to decide in November based on what this movie says? No one really takes the guy seriously and everyone knows he's biased. *UPDATE*-The Independance Institute has found 59 falsehoods in this movie. Visit this website. www.davekopel.com/terror/fiftysix-deceits-in-fahrenheit-911.htm

It may drag the gullible away from Bush. Who knows, it might even get the fence-sitters sucked in. But Michael Moore definitely should not be taken totally seriously. There is sometimes truth or even half-truth to what he's saying, but anyone who really support's Bush probably won't be led astray.

This mockumentary presents compelling evidence that George W. Bush shouldn't be reelected, especially if you are Michael Moore. It is good entertainment, and that is where it ends. Entertainment. People should NOT vote solely based on what they see in this movie. Instead, see the film and read a little more about what is being presented and make up your own mind. Don't let Michael Moore make it up for you.

The documentary appears to have had an insignificant effect on Bush's approval rating. Rasmussen, an independent service that tracks presidential approval ratings on a daily basis, tracked essentially no movement in Bush's approval percentage throughout the film's debut week. Ten days after the premeire, his approval rating climbed one percent. If you listen to all the folks giving the film free press, you might mistakenly believe the film has more power than it does. Either Michael Moore has only been preaching to the choir, or undecided voters don't cast their vote based on a single opinion piece.

It raises questions about the administration and will ignite the undecided.

If it wasn't for Michael Moore, the rest of the world would have lost complete faith in the US, its political system and by default its people. As an Irish man going to Harvard, I can tell you that Michael Moore presents a reality believed strongly and correctly by 3-4 billion people around the world (including 94% of Irish people). The 50% of americans who support him are the ignorant minority. Anyone for President? Let us pray there will be change!

Finally a movie to counter the White House propaganda machine and our wimpy media. I give it a five because it's entertaining and provocative and succeeds in making serious points while encouraging the audience to answer it's own questions. Almost everyone who has called Farenheit 911 baloney has failed to provide any evidence to back up their claim. Although Farenheit 9-11 is playful, 'over the top' and irreverent at times, it was well researched by a team of people who anticipated serious criticism. Ironically, many calling it 'propaganda' seem to be repeating what they've heard from those who may be doing their thinking for them. How is it that one film by Michael Moore is billed as propaganda and endless hours of Fox news is fair and balanced? Fox, the hired hacks of the right wing think tanks and all the rest of mainstream media have been shameless stenographers for the Bush Administration and have willfully ignored serious and damning criticism by very credible people. The element of surprise experienced by many viewers of Michael Moore's movie helps illustrate this point. If Fox and the rest of our media were doing their job we wouldn't need to go to Farenheit 911 to be surprised by an alternative viewpoint to the Administration's. I'll give you an example. VP Cheney's assertion that Saddam had something to do with Al Qaida and 9-11. A large number of Americans still believe it. So does Fox's O'Reilly. Michael Moore's film barely touches the surface of this. Now the 9-11 Commission reports no credible evidence that Saddam Hussein helped al-Qaida target the US. Surprised? Why? Info that contradicts Cheney's assertion has been out there in the public domain at your local bookstore. Fox and the rest of our media ignored it or suggested you were unpatriotic or an apologist for Saddam for questioning it. They are too busy assisting White House propaganda to be fair and balanced. The most poignant moments in Farenheit 9-11 for me were those that held a magnifying glass over those who have actually experienced the sacrifice and loss of war-the Iraqi mother, the American mother, the soldier in pain, the soldier who can't kill anymore, the frightened young woman soldier and the innocent faces of young soldiers before they go to war. At one point I wanted the camera to stop showing Lila Lipscomb grieving because her pain seemed too personal and observing it inappropriate or gratuitous...but then I realized that her pain is something we have taken for granted or never bothered to fully feel. I agree with Michael Moore. We owe our young soldiers and their mothers and family not to put them in harm's way unless absolutely necessary. If it takes uncomfortable footage of a grieving mother to encourage Americans to ask tougher questions, then it's entirely appropriate. Michael Moore's Farenheit 9-11 gets a five because it inspired me to do more research about the false premises given for the Iraq War. I hope it will encourage deeper investigation by all Americans and cause them to ask more from their media. Brent Scowcroft- National Security Advisor for two Republican presidents, ...there is scant evidence to tie Saddam to terrorist organizations, and even less to the September 11 attacks... John Brady Kiesling- diplomat under four presidents, ...we spread disproportionate terror and confusion in the public mind, arbitrarily linking the unrelated problems of terrorism and Iraq. Gregory Thielmann- former director of the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence, I believe the Bush administration did not provide an accurate picture to the American people of the military threat posed by Iraq. Anthony Zinni- Commander-in-Chief of US Central Command in the first Gulf War, In the lead up to the Iraq war and its later conduct, I saw at a minimum, true dereliction, negligence and irresponsibility, at worse, lying, incompetence and corruption... Richard Clarke, Anti-terrorism expert under four administrations Your government failed you and I failed you... By invading Iraq the president of the United States has greatly undermined the war on terror. Diplomats and Commanders for Change- June 17, 2004 statement by 27 retired diplomats and military commanders including Adm. William J. Crowe Jr., chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President Ronald Reagan and a former director of the CIA, Our security has been weakened...Never in the 2 1/4 centuries of our history has the United States been so isolated among the nations, so broadly feared and distrusted. (The statement charged that the Bush Administration does not understand the world and remains unable to handle in either style or substance the responsibilities of global leadership). s

Anyone who votes for a president based soley on a movie should have their voter registration card revoked.

Finally, a way to hear about the Dim Son without being censored by John Ashcroft. At least not yet. Though Moore uses exaggeration, his points are undeniable.

I was not going to see the movie, (I never thought much of Moore) however, I DID spend my $8 and to my surprise, I liked it. Figured I couldn't criticize Moore's work till I saw the movie. Problem is, rather than leaving the movie bent on criticizing Moore or Bush, I'm now scratching my head and wondering, questioning, and looking for my own answers to the issues raised by Moore. The movie was provocative. It made me think and want to do my own research into the Bush Family's (and friends') connections (both polical and financial) with the Saudi's, a connection that I am not entirely comfortable with. After I do my own research, I'll express my final opinion this issue this November. And I guess that's my one compliment to Moore's movie. 911 shows stuff mainstream media doesn't/hasn't. It asks questions mainstream media didn't and hasn't.Most importantly, it makes THE AUDIENCE ask their own questions. I now will question that which the spin-doctors continue to lay before my feet, and view political information with a bit more scrutiny. I applaud Moore for highlighting the fact that of the hundreds of members of Congress, only ONE has a son/daughter in the military, and most of them would ever consider having their child in the military. Our congressmen/women have no real appreciation of the sacrifice these soldiers and their families have made and continue to make for this country. And this congress, with no objection from Bush, continues to erode the veteran's benefits. I guess this Movie did manipulate me - it made me want to support our military even more - and that includes the financial and medical benefits to which they are entitled. Let Bush put up ($$) or shut up. Only then will I really believe he truly supports our troops.

I saw Farenheit 9/11 last night. There was nothing new in it, that's why I think it won't affect Bush's re-election chances. My problem with the movie is that the logic of it doesn't flow. Moore didn't connect the dots, thus leading to Republican accusations that it wasn't totally accurate. I'm going to do a separate review about the film, but let me just say that it isn't going to convince any committed Bush voters to jump towards Kerry's side. There were various scenes where the audience was clapping such as when the military mom read her fallen son's last letter where he hoped that Bush would be defeated because of his actions in Iraq. What this is going to do is motivate Democrats to vote against Bush. Moore said the purpose of the film was to beat Bush, but at the end it really only serves to motivate Democrats rather than educate the public more broadly about the issues at hand. Like everything Hollywood does, it delivered a shallow analysis of the topic at hand. Tugs at emotion but not much more, but who knows? In a close race, it might be the deciding factor, like anything else on this list.

Ok this movie might be the reason why george bush might not be elected. To mad all thge crap in this False documentary is not true. Mike moore is a fat slob.

This movie hits the nail on the head. When John Kerry called the Republicans a bunch of liars he called it like he saw it. I think Mike Moore should recived medal of Freedom for this work

Y'know the funny thing, especially in this review site. Is the people that are slamming this movie have the most foul mouthed violent reviews in here. These are the people that cannot watch this movie with a grain of salt, these are the folks that watch Fox News or more specifically the O'reilly Factor and believe every word he says. The funny thing is that the O'reilly factor is very similar to Farenheit 9/11 SOMEONES OPINION the reason they are expressing their opinion is so that people will think for themselves. I believe MM's idea was to make people question similar to the 60's or when African Americans stood up for their right. Ask questions, force change, do what is right. These are the things MM is saying to us.

Bias sits in all eyes, and immediately people need to assume that journalism is slightly skewed, and someone somewhere around the situation has an agenda of editing out particular things. The news is no different, and neither is MIchael Moore. The movie brings some excellent points about certain government actions that need to be questioned such as the lack of scrutinizing particular bills that have huge impacts on the people of this country and the fact that people can be so eager to send others to war yet do not enter or back it themselves. We pay salaries for government members to READ bills, and make decisions based on the good of people, not the good of their affiliates and their party. We also ought to get a reality check on certain ways of doing things such as the unjust coercion involved on teh Xmas eve raid of a house in which a supposed terrorist was living, wrongful bombing and shooting of innocent people. Understanding is shown, with Bush even agreeing that he would do something if he were being occupied, and truth is in there, in those mother's tears, in soldiers voices and actions, in the Iraq business plans good for business, bad for people. Should anyone ever say this line with a smile on their face? It is sickening how much excitement amongst young soldiers and businessmen exists behind this war, and it has to bother everyone in some sort of way, whether you like mr. moore or not. He does narrow his scope, but how else can one capture what real people go through at a personal level? my only issue with the film is the lack of giving the other side. NO persuasion essay or documentary should ever be complete without both sides of everything being mentioned. It would have been nice (or horrible, actually both) to see bodies of people Sadaam and his followers killed. It would have been nice to see actual footage and clear evidence of weapons in Iraq, but all we got were words from mouths and vague satellite pictures of anything. If anyone has visible and overt evidence of such, show me. Someone ought to, if this was truly the catalyst for the invastion. People need to take Michael Moore's movies with a heavy dose of personal thought after. Realize that he tends to be didactic, but who doesnt in their art? Dig through the smoke, and walk away asking questions and what can be fixed and how we can go about it rather than believing everything or calling it all lies. When broken down, Michael Moore has found things that he and many others think are very wrong, and he wants people to think about it, and do something about it. We cannot sit back and let our government officials lightly skim bills that change our lives and well being. We cannot have these wars with vague reasons and minimal proof mainly spewing from mouths. We cannot be happy and excited and thrilled to be in a war for economic well-being. We all need to read more, seek out more, and make our own 9/11 movie without training wheels of someone elses head. Hit your congressmen, seek out your senators, and do your best to know who they are and what they do for you or against you. INform yourself, and do so with multiple sources. Use that damned head and dont be a follower. This is what I got from the movie knowing damned well going in that it would bash Bush and certain actions the government takes. We all can bash and talk all day long about how shitty the president is, but we often fail to mention that it is the toughest job in the world with many hating you, not only in our country but in the world. Go out and do something about it, like MOore did informing us and showing us things we do not get to see on the news. Influence, but dont coerce, teach but dont preach too hard. If you have a problem, go try and fix it in how you deem fit rather than whine and whine about it. No matter who you are, whether your a soldier, citizen or George W. himself, something can be learned from this movie, something can be shown to you that you did not know. Take a chance and dont be such a loathing pansy! Learn to inform yourself, but more importantly, think for yourself.

I liked the movie. People who support Bush aren't going to be convinced. However, it might force the corporate media and Republican Congress to have some real investigations of the Administration. If that happens, one of the conspiracy theories will be right and good old John McCain (the real one) will finish Bush off.

Although I wanted to give this fil 5 stars I wont for the fact there was some instances that the transition between the connections made were not clear enough to give it a full 5 stars That aside the movie is pretty damn good and shows how far we have gone as a nation, And why exactly everyone else looks at us a Stalin or Hitler. the thing that took me back the most was some of the video we never see from the media , and I suggest that if any right wingers want to wave the flag tha they at LEAST watch the first 30 minutes of the movie. Just give it 30 minutes and see if you are willing to stay for the rest. Truth is you will probly be as glued to the images on the screen as I was. I am a libertarian and I find this movie damning as hell of not only the present administration but the systems that are in place that allow it to hold the power it does.

I think Moore gets the point across that we need to continually reevaluate our government and take an active role in questioning political practices, making sure the government is acting in the interest of the American people and maintaining humane standards both domestically and internationally. Beyond that, I must admit that he is a fanatic left-winger who cannot be taken completely seriously. He presents new information but his interpretations are often illogical and his conspiracy theories require great leaps of faith. Bottom line, he hits below the belt, and often when not appropriate. Perhaps this movie will help raise standards of the media, if only by presenting new information in an unconventional light, raising general awareness, and provoking intelligent discussion, though I am skeptical.

Remember that feeling you got when you found out your boyfriend/girlfriend was cheating on you, and you replayed all those things they told about how they loved you, cared for you, and would not do anything to hurt you. And you realize that your relationship was one big lie? Micheal Moore's film left me with that feeling for the Bush Administration! Great work, Yes I will register to vote!

I just returned from seeing this movie. I was surprised that I was so deeply moved by it. Moore interjected just the right amount of comedy relief to make me laugh, but I was surprised how many times I cried. He does a great job portraying and humanizing how the Iraqi people are experiencing this war. At the same time he shows all sides of how Americans are dealing with the war. It made me a stronger supporter of John Kerry , but sadly, also made me nostalgic for Al Gore, who I believe would have been a wonderful president.

good story-telling consist of two things. know your subject and believe in what you say. i have know doubt m.m. qualifies in the latter. do you really think he knows the president or is he objecting his views about a republican president.

This poor excuse for a film won't have any effect on W.'s re-election. Michael Moore is a sh*t-for-brains who can't be taken seriously, and more and more people are realizing that.

Not likely to damage Bush unless of course we're talking about the extreme left. Virtually no independent thinker who doesn't blindly follow some silly political ideology takes Moore seriously anymore.

Michael Moron's movie of lies will not affect Bush in the slightest.

First of all, ask yourself; who supports this boob now? Hollywood half-wits, the disgruntled extreme far left and teens who aren't finished rebelling against the tyranny of the adult world. You know, people who would vote for a deaf, dumb and blind sociopathic inbred alien before they would vote for George Bush anyway. These will make up the bulk of people occupying the theater seats. It's clear to me that Moore is just another rancid fart in the wind who fancies himself a tornado.

Michael Moore is a terrible film editor, yet he wins an oscar, right. If you care about politics in the least a lot of the things in the movie aren't new. The clips and information aren't made up, do some checking if you don't believe it. Okay now take my little sis for example- 19 years old and knows squat about american politics and issues. I've told her to simply check out the movie, maybe it will encourage to vote one way or another. This film can have an effect on the country.

This movie was really fantastic. Great job on exposing the dirty secrets of the Bush administration

Once again the truth hurts, most americans are too ignorant on the subject to vote, Liberal extremists thats a good one I could use that for just about everything in life, that and Con Rice's that was not my job speech.

At least it has some people talking about the presidency and causing a stir, which will hopefully get more people out to see this film or get involved in politics a little more. It's films and people like this that drive people to find out what's going on around them. Even if they don't believe a word he says they will, hopefully, go out and look around for information to prove/disprove and and get involved in the system.

MMs new film is a passionate, personal view of the current delimma with the Bush Junta. Mores discreditors and critics, especially those who feign an interest in good documentary films, generally fail to notice that Farenheit 9/11 is really about how we see the media and what the media can do with images. Hes basically fighting fire with fire here, and the audience is intelligent enough to see that. The situation today is too complicated to be explained in any one wrok, be it film or a book or a weak, psuedo-liberal film review by the usual intellectual prostitutes who dare call themselves journalists. The film is a wake up call to all those who are used to wiggling their way out of taking sides, making decisions, and facing the facts about the Bush teams crimes. Calling this film weak or biased or even badly done fails to do what Americans should: enter the debate, say something substantial, personal, and biased yourself!!! Fox News sure doesnt cringe at the idea...

Michael Moore makes no denial of being biased towards the war or President Bush.

If it's anything like Bowling for Columbine, I don't think it'll have much of an effect on the public's opinion on Bush--it may solidify the stance of the people who are already against Bush, anyway, but that really doesn't make a difference. I don't think this movie will affect anyone's voting much, if at all, when it comes down to it. ADDITION: I agree that one can't really criticize a film without first seeing it, but this isn't really a movie review; it's a question about whether a movie which criticizes the president could damage his presidential campaign. Even if the film exposes great atrocities which would damn most reputations, the film can only affect the opinions of those who actually see the film, which limits its influence.

It is amazing to me how so many people can trash this documentary without having seen so much as a frame. I thought you had to see a movie before you could give an opinion. Evidently this is not the case for the biased and bigoted right. Perhaps if these right-wingers would open their minds and let a few facts in, we wouldn't have this great divide in America that we have today. Bush, with his bumbling, secretive, partisan administration, misbegotten war in Iraq and reckless spending, has turned me into an avid Kerry supporter. I welcome Michael Moore's film. He may not be the world's best film editor, but he certainly is the best at tackling subjects that make right-wingers writhe cringe.

Moore's take on things are about as accurate as Oliver stone!!! You will have to do better than this Dough-boy!

The reviews are fantastic. I can't wait to see it, get the DVD and pass it around to everyone I can.

Not at all damaging. The only people that take Moore seriously are extremists. The film is apparently full of cheap shots like Bush sleeps on linen sheets and other garbage.

Consider the source of this information: Michael Moore has long had it in for the President. I wouldn't call this documentary objective to say the least.
