Fairenheit 9/11 Or Unfairenheit 9/11: That Is The Question Nobody Knows!

Michael Moore's controversial film certainly attacks and ridicules President Bush and his administration for its failure to anticipate and respond effectively to the events of 9/11/01. Michael Moore clearly implies in this movie that he is not just anti-Republican, but he is actually anti-Bush! I believe that all of the facts that Moore presents in this movie are accurate in origin; however, some of the stated facts are somewhat distorted. On the other hand, Bush supporters would think that all the things said were completely false and that Moore deliberately used propaganda and half-truths in order to attack our president.

One distorted example was when President Bush continued his golf game and later attended an elementary school function after the World Trade Center was attacked. He made it almost seem as if it was no big deal to President Bush. This dreadful event was one of the worst events recorded in U.S. history. Also, the cartoon-like music in this movie was designed to deceive the viewer's ability to separate fact from fiction. I believe Moore used the cartoon-like music in order to emphasize the cartoon-like caricature he attempted to portray Bush as being such to the people of America.

I believe the movie attempted to persuade the viewer through the use of propaganda. Christopher Hitchens, a Michael Moore critic, did not believe anything that Michael Moore presented in this movie. He suggested that the proper name of the movie should have been "Unfairenheit 9/11" to represent the "unfairness" depicted in this movie at President Bush. However, there is one similarity between the movie "Fairenheit 9/11" and the essay "Unfairenheit 9/11". They both are bipartisan! When I use the word bipartisan, I mean that it involved members of opposite political parties.

I find it so hard to believe how two different political parties within the same nation can point fingers at each other and blame the issues that have occured over the past seven years on the other. This is similar to what siblings do when they get in fights. They always blame the other one for something they might have begun. In the end, I guess it all really depends on which type of philosophy you were raised: liberal, conservative or independent. Therefore, I guess no one is really right or wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion!
