Farenheit 9/11
Jul. 1st, 2004 01:10 amAm back from Farenheit 9/11. Am torn between being highly amused, quite depressed, and extremely scared. The movie also underscored a bit for me how relieved I am that Harper didn't win up here, knowing that he backed Bush going into Iraq and if he had been in power then god knows we might be over there. And... there's nothing I can say here that the movie doesn't say very succinctly. All I can say is go see it; this is definitely required viewing for these times. It's hilarious at times, shocking and horrifying at others, and heartbreaking at yet other times. It's also brilliantly edited together, and really makes you think about everything that's happened the last few years. It really makes you think about the war, the so-called "reasons" behind it, the horrors resulting from it, and the hopelessness of the situation over there.
In conclusion: Moore=smart. Bush=stupid. Movie=good. *nodnod* Go see it. The theatre was packed; the lineup while we waited extended up the street - and it's been out nearly a week, and it's a late showing. If there's one thing that makes me feel better about all of this is that all these people are going to see it and agreeing with it - there was loud applause at the end, laughter throughout the scenes showing just how fucktarded Bush and the entire situation is, and people left with smiles on their faces, amused over how the movie ended with Bush trying to quote something during a speech then promptly forgetting the quote and looking very, very stupid.
Um, yeah. That's it from me. This world scares me. ;_; That man scares me. I can't even imagine how he could be re-elected in November after the last 4 years, yet somehow it remains a distinct possibility - why? How could there be people out there who would vote for him? Boggles the mind... I just hope that enough people down there are pissed off enough (and that will actually vote this time) that they'll manage to get him out of power. I hope.
