Fahrenhite 9/11

I saw Fahrenhite 9/11 two weeks ago. Shouldn't really consider it a documentary, it was considerably biased, but nevertheless still entertaining. Besides the clearly anti-Bush message, the movie could also be interpreted as a critical critique of the ills inherent in capitalistic societies. Moore portrays greed and money as the driving force that has relagated the poor and disadvantaged into fighting an unjust war that heavily benefits major corporations like Halliburton and Lockheed-Martin. To a certain point I agree. The ever increasing stock prices of these corporation and the bulging pocket books of their shareholders lies with the blood of our military. With individuals that have limited options for education or career advancement the military is sold by recruiters as an impressive option for college money or a point to start a promising career.

Ironically, Moore fails to mention that he is expected to earn millions off of his latest film. As he should. Like, Michael Eisner of Dsiney or others in the film industry Moore is in fact a capitalist and out to profit from his enterprises. Maybe that is why he chooses to clearly focus the film as a docotomy between democrats and republicans, left versus right, a clearly political debate rather then one based upon socio-economics where the haves and have nots are put at odds. Moore is by no means a "have not". He is a "have" and will continue to be one. He would love for you to believe that lining the pockets of republicans is far worse then lining his pockets. This may or may not be true who really knows? All in all the movie was entertaining and for the most part I enjoy warching Michael Moore. Supposedly his next film will deal with the ills of big business.
