  I went to see the much anticipated Fahrenheit 911 last night with a friend of mine. To say the theatre was packed is a serious understatement. It's the first time I remember waiting in long lines to get into a movie at Kips Bay. Michael Moore bigger than X2 or Matrix? Crazy. The movie is basically Moore's book Dude! Where's My Country (which I read) put onto a film reel. If it was Moore's intention to lash out at Bush and take every stutter, every incomplete answer, every "bushism" and string them together into a seemingly endless 2+ hour movie experience, he achieved it. The movie is not bad, but it does at times lack substantiated proof to support the claims providing the foundation.
This, by itself, does not reveal much, especially since the very nature of a secret is that it remain a secret. Like Pearl Harbor or the Kennedy assassination, most of the secrets Moore tries to examine in his film will never see the light of day. It is clear to me, however, that Bush is simply a cog in a huge political machine. Instead, I believe Moore is simply trying to put as much information as possible out there to increase awareness before the election.
It's like he's saying "look at the coincidence that a failed pipeline plan through Turkmenistan was immediately resurrected after Bush invaded Afghanistan. Need more? Is it just another coincidence that Halliburton has been given millions of dollars in defense contracts? Still not enough? How about the planes that were arranged to fly the Bin Laden family out of the States right after 9/11 that were authorized at the highest levels of government?
" Although Moore definitely has a statement to make, I think he is trying to encourage people to look at the information that we do have; to see Bush's endgame. Although I do find many of his coincidences a little too coincidental, I am not going to take the movie as gospel. As someone who is not intending to vote for Bush in November, the movie is not going to be the single issue I take with me to the voting booth. Still, I wonder what effect this movie will have on the people voting sitting on the fence. Or the ones voting for Nader.
