Michael Moore's War (He got the cover of this week's TIME magazine!)
"...We may come to look back on its hugely successful first week the way we now think of the televised presidential debate between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon, as a moment when we grasped for the first time the potential of a mass medium — in this case, movies — to affect American politics in new ways."
— The World According to Michael by Richard Corliss
Time Magazine Cover Story, July 12, 2004 issue

3. left critique of F911
Stupid White Movie
What Michael Moore Misses About the Empire

"I agree that Bush should be kicked out of the White House, and if I lived in a swing state I would consider voting Democratic. But I don't believe that will be meaningful unless there emerges in the United States a significant anti-empire movement. In other words, if we beat Bush and go back to "normal," we're all in trouble. ..."

"It is obvious that "Fahrenheit 9/11" taps into many Americans' fear and/or hatred of Bush and his gang of thugs. Such feelings are understandable, and I share them. But feelings are not analysis, and the film's analysis, unfortunately, doesn't go much beyond the feeling: It's all Bush's fault. That may be appealing to people, but it's wrong. And it is hard to imagine how a successful anti-empire movement can be built on this film's analysis unless it is challenged. "

4. that picture is very poignant
that part in the movie where Michael talks about the soldiers and says all they ask is that they not be sent into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary is so powerful following the scenes of the screaming, dying soldiers.
