Moore Of What You Want


Fahrenheit 9/11 : The Temperature at Which Sanity Burns

Ever since my first magical viewing of Canadian Bacon, I knew Hollywood had something very special in Michael Moore...It's no surprise, therefore, that his latest motion picture experience is nothing less than sublime. Capturing the best elements of Reefer Madness, Birth of a Nation, and the works of Heinrich Himmler, Fahrenheit 9/11 has undoubtedly staked out its place in the annals of great documentary.
Prepare to have your presuppositions and values put to the fire in the cinematic pyromania that only Mr. Moore can supply. In addition to deconstructing the "lies" and "half-truths" that the proletariat have been brainwashed into accepting (via journalism, the Internet, rap music, personal experience, anecdotes), the true "people's champion" provides some startling revelations...For instance:

*There are TWO President Bushes!*
*During Saddam's reign, the Iraqi people lived in peace, flying kites*
*Most U.S. Congressmen cannot read* :(

Upon first hearing the title Fahrenheit 9/11, I have to admit I was a little skeptical. After all, Bradbury's book/film (trite account of utopian society where all books/independent thought are incinerated) of a similar name was a complete drag. But in true heroic fashion, Moore charges headlong into scandal, armed with nothing more than his girth, camcorder, legions of high-priced lawyers, and an ice cream truck. It's little wonder that some obscure British journalist called Mike "the most important living American." Such valor would normally warrant a Congressional Medal of Honor or an induction into the Justice League...But alas, a right wing conspiracy is in effect...Maybe in a better time...a better place...Moore will receive his just desserts. Until then, we can count on our furry filmmaker pal to preserve truth, justice, and the Canadian way.





Michael Moore offers encouragement to Mary Kate Olsen.
