Fahrenheit 9/11
Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival and the most controversial and most talked about film of the year!
Fahrenheit 9/11, is Michael Moore's reflections on the current state of America, including the powerful role oil and greed may have played after the 9/11 attacks. In this provocative exposé, Moore will tell the one story no one has dared to tell as he reveals the events that led the US into that apocalyptic September 11th moment and why the country is now at war.

it takes guts to directly attack members of Congress for not sending their children to war or make claims that the Bush Administration failed Slowin its efforts to find bin Laden since they were targeting a more personal target: Saddam Hussein. Similarly, it takes skill to uncover the film's most striking image of Bush, pale and uncertain, as he continues to read to students in an elementary classroom for almost 15 minutes after being informed of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.Good Conspiracy Theory - moviebuffette
I thought Michael Moore did a decent job in showing some evidence that really makes you think that there is a possibility 911 was a set up. The pace of the movie was good, not really any highs and lows, but interesting enough throughout to not need a high point of the film.Fahrenheit 9/11 - AppsScraps
It's interesting to watch Michael Moore doing his usual shtick - this time with Geroge W Bush, September 11 and the invasion of Iraq on his mind - six years after the events and 3 years after its premiere at Cannes. He meticulously lays out Bush's illegal seizure of the Presidency thanks to corruption in Florida, his panache for holidaying, his connections to the Saudis and Bin Laden, and his inept ploys (which Americans for the most part swallowed) that led the US off the hunt for Bin Laden and on to a crusade against Iraq to keep his oil friends on side. Moore's obviously dislike of Bush aside, the film makes for compelling viewing, though feels dated now since much of what he alleged in 2004 is known to be fact today. The best part of Moore's film, simultaneously brilliant and disturbing, are the slow motion clips of Bush being told (in Sarasota) that America was under attack on the morning of September 11th. Never has a president looked more ridiculous then in those few minutes of film. Never has a president looked more dumb and useless.
My rating 8 out of 10.
