Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore - Book Review

by Michael Moore
Review by  Zettel(4013) on 19/08/2004

Fahrenheit is an important film. It is passionate, partisan and manipulative; at times queasily so. More satirical polemic than a documentary, Moore knows his business: his treatment of the events of 9/11 is masterly; restricting himself to black screen for the impacts, then concentrating on human reactions. He thus evokes images indelibly seared into our minds and superb editing stresses the human dimension of the tragedy.

It will be a disservice to a powerful film if responses simply mirror attitudes to the war. However selectively, Moore skillfully allows Bush, Rumsfeld et al to reveal, unequivocally, their slippery, self-serving, lethal hubris.
