Summary: street level honesty
The Rupert Murdoch
dominated Australian print media has been trying desperately to write this
film off as a pack of lies and distortions. After seeing the preview session
tonight I know what they're scared of – and that’s too many working class
people knowing the truth that most wars are run for political expediency and
profit, and the working class are the most likely cannon fodder.
Fahrenheit 9/11 shows the true
human impact of the War On Iraq by the Coalition Of The Willing - and Australia is up to its ankles in George W. Bush's nether
regions as part of that Coalition. We share the blame and shame - and can
only hope our defacto-Republican government gets
the boot, along with Bush's administration.
I appreciate that Michael Moore is revealing the failings of a grossly
malignant administration - and he's not just bagging the Republican Party. He
highlights the failure of Democrats to take timely or appropriate action -
especially when even one Democratic Senator with guts or integrity could have
made all the difference.
The relief provided by appropriate music and necessary humour
are what make Fahrenheit 9/11 an entertaining, compelling and thoroughly
effective documentary which deserves every Award available. 10 out of 10.
