Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter its official showing at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival the movie was given what has been called "the longest standing ovation in the history of the festival". Although the exact length of the applause is a matter of debate, journalists at the screening have reported it being in the area of 15 to 25 minutes.
- GoofsTowards the films end, Moore claims one member of Congress had a child in the armed forces. At the time, two members had children in the military.
- Quotes
Narrator: George Orwell once wrote that, "It's not a matter of whether the war is not real, or if it is, Victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia but to keep the very structure of society intact."
- Crazy creditsThis film is dedicated to ... all the soldiers from the Flint area who have died in the Iraq war ... the 2,973 who died on 9/11/01 and the countless thousands who have died in Afghanistan and Iraq as a result of our actions.

Disgusted by a man I had actually admired
After Seeing Micheal Moore's first film I truly admired the man and frankly applauded his defense of the blue collar population. But when I viewed this movie I was disgusted. Let me point out that I did not vote for Bush in either election, nor do I support his policies. I saw this movie going in with an open mind of Mr. Moores views on the subject. But From the onset I was mortified. Why? you ask I shall list them for you.
I was THERE on 9/11 I was on duty fueling aircraft at Newark Int'l Airport that Tuesday Morning. I saw BOTH planes hit, I watched BOTH towers fall, and I spent the next month either attending funerals of my family who died there or was at the pile helping in anyway I could.
Mr. Moore said the Bin Ladens and the Saudis were allowed to fly when we weren't. I CAN PERSONALLY refute that and PROVE it. I worked at Signature Flight Support EWR, which handles all private,charter, govt, non commercial foreign aircraft at the airport. It just so happens that the Saudi Royal family arrived in NYC on Sep. 9th I have the photos if anyone wants them. I personally unloaded their luggage...fueled there aircraft..and loaded it when they left..As I had done nearly weekly as they visited NYC nearly as much for some years. On 9/11, literally one hour after the second plane hit.. the Aircraft was seized by Federal Agents and the Crew were detained for no less than two weeks. When the Saudi Royal Family left, with members of Bin Ladens family, who I might add do not share Osamas views and were not only outraged by his actions, but feared for there lives because of their relation to him and fled, Both The Saudi Royals and the Bin Ladens left only when our government cleared them to leave after questioning them all and this was not until AFTER yes I said after the general public was allowed to fly. Fact remains is WE were allowed to fly before they were.
Mr.Moore states that Bush caused the attacks by bin laden who he allegedly was friends with. The Fact is Bush did not know Osama Bin Laden. He knew the Royals simply because he owned an Oil Company, any oil company owner would HAVE to have relations with the Saudis. He wasn't even Governor of Texas when Bin Laden first attacked the US. it was during the Clinton Admin. why does bin laden hate the US, simply put he did not agree with the Saudi royal family allowing US troops (which I was one of during Desert Storm)to be attacking a Muslim country from the country of the two holiest cities in Islam. He was then exiled by the Saudis because he threatened uprising if they didn't denounce the US. WOW BUSH's fault huh?
This was someones personal view, not based on actual facts. It used footage that was edited to appear that things were said in a certain context. Of course it would when you delete what was said before and in between phrases used. And to say that his views were based on Facts is a farce. Now I am an American Combat Veteran and whether or not I like his views or disagree with them I will continue to Defend his right to have them and share them. Nut I will not defend someones right to manipulate the facts and Yes even create lies to convince us of his views. Give me an argument based on actual facts and I will be your staunchest supporter, as a true patriot would, whether or not I agree with you. But lie and misinterprate to give yourself attention for, lets face it is Mr. Moores motive,MONEY. I will denounce you.
Thats Just me you decide on your own.
