F-9/11

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

F-9/11

Post by Impactor returns 2.0 » Thu Jul 01, 2004 10:11 am

I just read 4 reviews, for and against the film. 2 for each.

The for sounds like pretty much what i imangined of a film like this, and the against pretty much what i expect from more.

One of the against reviews rips moores 'facts' and direction techniques to shreds. if its even half true then F-9/11 sounds a bit skank to be honest.

So what does this mean? now i have to go and watch the film to make my own mind up!
not holding my breath tho to be honest. im more likely to see that the direction was a manipulation of a womans tragedy and of bushs face in slow mo. couple with the a list of points that sound bollocks. thats the way my mind works. some woman harping on about her dead son or aload of dead iraq's isnt gonna move me at all. i dont know what its like, and film is no substitute for it either.

as one reviewr said. the film is degrading, as thier is a proper film to be made out of the tragedy of the Iraq war and 9/11. this is it.j

Most UK peeps probably know this, but F-9/11 is on Channel 4 tomorrow at 9:00pm.

I think Moore had SOME good points, and some weak ones. Its kind of hard to defend such a position, so I think some of his 'facts' are more based in moderatly safe assumptions.

I enjoyed the movie, but you have to go into it understanding that there will be a biased spin to the info, and that you won't agree with everything.
