I thought the movie was worth seeing though it didn't really change my point of view on anything. I thought some of the footage was golden, though.
Moore was fixated on Bush stealing the election of 2000. He even blamed gore for accepting that he lost. However, Moore can't get over it...
I didn't think that the scene with bush sitting around the elementary school during 9/11 was effective because 1) he looked really really concerned and 2) He lost so much focus drawing as many connections to the bushes and the bin laden's as possible. He says that the bin laden family was in cahoots with Osama but the only evidence he gives is that an undisclosed number of people of his vastly enormous family met for wedding. Woopty doo, Weddings are held only in the most malicious intent. Moore worded things really subjectivly like when he mentions bush's tax cuts and reduction in welfare, he made it sound like bush was doing this specifically to vetrans, eventhough conservatives in general are for less welfare and more taxcuts.
Moore, however, did make a good point that it wouldn't be too far outta the realm of possibily, and probably a good idea. The part of this i didn't like was when he said that Saudia Arabia was in bad standings with Anmesty international but than showed iraq as a happy playground with wendings, kites, and ferris wheels. I really felt like Moore was grasping at straws anytime he mentioned the Saudi's.
A big thing i noticed was that Moore started out by villifying the soldiers and showing them in killing stage and how they listen to ozzfest cd's when they kill innocent people. but than he switches to Glorifying the soldiers who really are the boys from back home.
The biggest problem i had with the movie was that people of the administration had to be "on" at all times. They couldn't be humans, because moore would point out every little thing to make it look like that they didn't care. I mean it's not like Bush wasn't allowed to laugh at all, ever after 9/11. Every little thing was used against him to make it look like he didn't care.
I do agree with alot of what he said but it's just easier to remember all the stuff that i disagree with. It kicked down a bit at the end and just kinda had a 20/20 feel, but that weird encounter with the lady who said that the war was staged kinda broke the flow and made it bit more exciting.
The propoganda was really obivous towards the end. Between the wounded soldier saying hes gonna become a democrat when he gets home and the dying soldiers wish not to get bush reelected.
