Reply #2: Just saw F9/11 for the THIRD time [View All]

[ArtieBoy]

I just saw this movie for the third time with a friend. This friend was open to the movie, and on the way out he said he thought it was very factual.

However, he also said that he thought any administration had corruption and old-boy backscratching if you looked close enough. He went on to say that it was easy to say how things should be in hindsight, and who wouldn't have been for the war when both sides of the aisles lined up for it? Beyond that he said all elections are probably rigged and nothing you can do will really make a difference.

My guess was that he must have been for the war, then had doubts, then this movie made up his mind. However the punchline of this movie for him and probably many others is, "You were a sucker." So he has to absolve himself of guilt for having "fallen for it," so he lets himself off by saying, "It's all out of our hands and there's thing you can do anyhow."

We sat in the parking lot debating this for two-and-a-half hours! I hope I'm not sunburned.

Edited for improved second paragraph.
