Final Word

If you haven't noticed the increasingly accusation-filled comments then just ignore this. But to the others: let this be the final word on Fahrenheit 9/11 please. Yes, Michael Moore takes the facts and stretches them as he wishes; sure, he leaves out parts of the story. Realize that he has an opinion and his film is going to reflect that. I will admit that about half of the movie is Anti-Bush propaganda, thus, he is trying to cast Bush in the worst light that he can. He is successful. However, the other half of the movie is the poignant story of a mother who lost her son in the war, which even more so today seems pointless. This is the part of the movie that has won it the amount of acclaim that it has rightfully received.

To those who have no idea what is going on: someone anonymously commented on my post where I simply stated that it was a good movie whether you are a Bush supporter or not. I stand by that post. In the comment they basically wrote a short essay on how Moore skewed the facts. After I felt obligated to defend the movie, the same person wrote an even longer and more detailed response. Then came the accusation of plagiarism. My thoughts: it was just someone looking for any opportunity to bash Fahrenheit 9/11 and found that opportunity on my blog. It is probably a good thing that the person posted anonymously because that person looks extremely foolish by posting so much about something that so few read in response to my simple praise of the movie. Who knew blogs could be so heated.
