Wow! Such a good movie.

Am I Missing Something?

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Blistering performances.

There are anti Americans and then there are anti American trash like Michael Moore. This is biased unfactual pure liberal nonsense. So hard to watch or reason with logically as to Why The fat man comes up with this crap.

The sequence of events and reasoning behind them in this film are up for debate, as has often been the case ever since September the 11th, 2001. Moore is good at striking people emotionally, and without even showing that iconic image of the burning towers that we've all seen before, he manages to really hit home, not in a peachy "we're still proud, strong, good ol' USA" way, but in a surprisingly tasteful and timely way without stooping to exploitation, gore or offensive jokes. I was also very surprised to learn that Moore lost a friend in the Twin Towers that day. Not to be an attention wh*ore, but my family was heavily affected by 9/11 and my uncle lost a lot of good friends that day, so I'm glad to see that Moore has retained a certain level of compassion and seriousness for the many people who lost their lives or lost loved ones in the Pentagon and World Trade Center. He also raises a good point about the "War on Terror", which my dad was deployed into back when I was ten years old - is it worth it to pursue justice if we go about it by killing innocent people? Why have we left such a startling amount of "collateral damage" in Iraq while hunting down one specific terrorist group? Isn't it all rather futile and hypocritical of our country to destroy another that didn't even have anything to do with 9/11 in the first place? Though this film does raise many good points and gets the ball rolling on some genuine discussion on a taboo subject, I didn't like the way in which some scenes were so heavily taken out of context, especially those regarding Bush. No, I'm not a Bush supporter, I'm Canadian anyway, I simply think that he was unprepared for such a devastating blow to the nation and he didn't know what to do. If somebody told me that the nation was under attack and I was President, I might have acted in a very similar manner. He was also in the presence of elementary school children at the time of hearing the news. I mean, what was he supposed to do, jump up and announce, "sorry kids, gotta run, some guys in planes just killed off 3,000 innocent citizens! Ciao, and don't forget to vote!" Give me a break. My guess is he didn't want to frighten the general public. There were really no plans to handle 9/11 or the bombing of such tall buildings at the time, and plans for terrorist attacks back then were geared more towards older, less organized concepts of it. Moore cherry-picks video clips of Bush "being lazy" (same could be said about Trump, Obama, Trudeau, any politician really, it's good PR to be frequently recorded having fun like a "normal guy" and not necessarily a sign of not doing any work) and spins together a story of a man who just didn't give a damn about terrorism and not only acted in negligence, but also outright took advantage of the attacks for political/financial gain. Some of this is indeed true as it presented the perfect opportunity for a war and money to be made on military involvement, but I still don't buy that Bush was an evil monster, nor do I believe that he acted alone on this stuff. It's just what countries do. They use tragedy as an excuse to cause more tragedy, perpetuating a bloody, violent cycle. I feel though like Moore opted to dwell so much on Bush that he was losing sight of the real message he was trying to get at, and a project that starts off as ambitious and important quickly dissolves into a mess of varying themes and frankly bizarre cutaway scenes. He acts very immature and obnoxious throughout, and repeatedly tries to make 9/11 all about him by dragging it back to the irrelevant topic of his obsession, his small Colorado childhood town in an economic depression. What does this have to do with 9/11 (if anything)? He spends more time rambling on about himself than about the teens being recruited by vultures-er, soldiers, in the shopping malls and community centers. What begins as a compassionate tribute to the victims of this terrible attack, soon becomes just another opportunity for Moore to don his tinfoil hat and ride his high horse off into the sunset, and it brought me to wonder whether this film was really about the events of September the 11th, or was it just about personal anger towards the malaise and bitterness of modern America? It's definitely subjective and up for debate, so while there's a lot of this film I found unfair and heavily biased, I can't bring myself to hate it because love it or loathe it, it's one of the most important nonfiction films of our time, not necessarily because it's true but because it will get us all thinking about our own feelings and opinions towards that horrible day and what 9/11 and terrorism in general means to us - not as Americans, but as human beings.

I almost forgot about how much of an idiot George Bush was back when he was President of the United States. Good thing this film is around to document his stupidity in to popular culture. And this film shows how this downward death spiral we call the new American started. This isn't one of Moore's better documentaries but it is still good. I think he was forced to take a lot of it and edit it over and over again because of the government but whatever. It still shows something wasn't right. But mostly this documentary is about Bush being a jacka$$.. and helping to doom the world for decades to come.

Not being an American citizen' and trying to look at this documentary objectively its hard to believe that so many u.s. citizens voted for the Bush administration. Apart from the fact that this guy is a complete idiot, did people not learn anything from George Bush SNR? did people really believe jnr would be somehow the total opposite of daddy' who was a warmongering, moneymaking pirate, who was friends with the very family that allegedly killed thousands of Americans. I find this totally beyond logic and this is what Michael Moore,s documentary is about' regardless of the hundreds of other questions the the American people didn't get answered by the 9/11 commission, how can a country the boasts to have the best intel services on the planet miss something this important, never mind the attacks and subsequent invasions, there has to be more questions answered about the c.i.a. and f.b.i and any other sevices that lets a tyrant rule their country.
