Unfairenheit 9/11
To describe this film as dishonest and demagogic would almost be to promote those terms to the level of respectability. To describe this film as a piece of crap would be to run the risk of a discourse that would never again rise above the excremental. To describe it as an exercise in facile crowd-pleasing would be too obvious. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a sinister exercise in moral frivolity, crudely disguised as an exercise in seriousness. It is also a spectacle of abject political cowardice masking itself as a demonstration of "dissenting" bravery. Like Bowling for Columbine, this film is a win-win proposition for Moore; if the audience finds it convincing, he wins, and if the entire audience is there only to write an article trashing it on the internet, they still bought a ticket. The only way to see this movie is if you can find a way to do it for free. In that spirit, rather than debunk it myself, I'll just post this link to someone else's debunking. |

Unfairenheit 9/11 = Bullshit
I was going to write a review of Fahrenheit 9/11 (which is FORKING AWESOME), but instead I decided to have a little fun with Christopher Hitchens. No homo.
