Fahrenheit 9/11 Movie Review

I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 and it was very good. The nearly-full suburban Southdale theater applauded at the end of the 4:00 showing.

The movie shows how terrible Bush is. From a Nader perspective, while many might want to blame us for Bush’s election, I’m still convinced the system as a whole is broken. I’m glad that Nader is the peace candidate, as opposed to Kerry, who wants to "stay the course" in Iraq.

Part of the movie showed congresspeople of color from the House of Representatives who wanted to speak about the disenfranchised voters in Florida before a joint session of Congress, but were unable to do so because not a single Senator, Democrat or Republican, would move in favor of it. Al Gore presided over the session.

Another part talked about how a harmless peace group was infiltrated by a deputy sheriff as part of a Patriot Act counterterrorism unit. Another guy was visited by the FBI after criticizing Bush. I guess you can’t be too careful!
