Movie: Fahrenheit 9/11

A documentary that won an Oscar and spent weeks at the top of the box office? How can anyone not watch this? But if you are looking for entertainment from the typical movie fare , then this might not be for you.

Plenty of hype has been around Michael Moore's production of this documentary. After catching a little of his previous work, "Bowling in Columbine" on Astro, I must say I was a little sceptical about how "entertaining" this movie would be. It turns out to be pretty interesting, if you have been following US politics and conspiracy theory surrounding involvement of certain Arab nations in the build up to the September 11 attack on the World Trade Centre.

I had thought the movie would have focus on the event of 9/11 and the aftermath of the event. It turns out that the movie is a strong criticism of President George W. Bush and his administration. The strongest message of the movie would be to question the need and reason for the invasion of Iraq, and the continuing war to gain control and rebuild the country.

Overall, it is quite an "entertaining" watch. You do get some light moment (mostly at the expense of President Bush) but once you watched the show, you will probably have no doubt think that President Bush is incompetent. I would only take this as a one-sided view from a strong criticizer of the current US administrator.
