Al Gore: God bless you, Florida! Thank you!
Narrator: Did the last four years not really happen? Look, there's Ben Affleck. He's often in my dreams. And the Taxi Driver guy. He was there too. And little Stevie Wonder, he seemed so happy... like, like a miracle had taken place. Was it a dream? Or was it real?

Soundtrack:

We Gotta Get Out of This Place

Swung the election ... for President Bush!!

Well, Michael Moore wanted this film to affect the outcome of last Presidential election. I don't think that he had thought that some of his outlandish claims would actually turn people out FOR President Bush!

Commenting on this film is like commenting on that other polarizing film event of 2004, THE PASSION OF THE Christ. Let's get this straight ... FAHRENHEIT 9/11 is NOT a documentary. There is not one fact in this film that is not twisted to fit in to some slender political ideology.

But, that does not mean that Michael Moore does not make some valid points with his work. Believe it or not, I am a big fan of what Mr. Moore does. Mr. Moore asks people questions, and sometimes he tries to hold them accountable. I like that. I encourage that. I support that. I just disagree with some of his methods (the ends do not always justify the means), and with some of his conclusions.

So my suggestion would be this ... see the film. Then, if you don't like Michael Moore, go out with a camera and start asking your own questions. I dare say Michael himself would applaud you, no matter what your political leaning!
