Fahrenheit 9/11

For some people, MIchael Moore is a hero, a guy who bravely fights against the Bush administration, who is out there seeking the truth that has been covered and hidden. For other people, he's just a big fat ass who likes to stir things up by telling lies.

In Bowling for Columbine, he questions the gun control policy in the USA and how trigger happy that nation is. For pro gun control people, that movie is a gift, a excellent promotion tool. For Charlton Heston and his NRA buddies, that movie is a huge slap in the face. But it did bring people to the movie theatre and it shows them what Michael Moore thinks of gun control in the USA even though Moore himself is a NRA member. It also showed that Moore has the guts to give his opinion. Big balls indeed, considering the people he slaps are the guys who owns guns and shoot anything moving just for fun.

Now with Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore steps up the ante. Now he is going after the Bush administration and how he handled the Iraqi war after the 9/11 tragedy. It's basically Moore telling the US people - who will be voting in November this year - not to vote for Bush. Some of the facts that Moore shows here are well-known facts. It's either you believe it, or don't, or ignore it. But trying to ignore a movie like this is hard. We all know that Bush is a clown, but Moore showed that Bush is more than a clown - he's a clueless clown. Also the politics and corruption that goes along with the Bush administration and the effect the war has on the US people is just amazing.

Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palm d'Or at Cannes this year. I don't think it's because of the artistics of the movie, or even the content. It's because Michael Moore has the balls to document facts that we know are out there and make it into one movie. A movie that will hurt Bush and the Republicans. A movie that might - might - bring a small revolution to the USA.

Here's hoping that it will.
