Fahrenhype 9/11
By Rocky Ramsey, Fri Dec 9th
This documentary analyzes Fahrenheit 9/11 point by point. It'snot just a dispute of the facts in Fahrenheit 9/11, it hasinterviews with people who appeared in Fahrenheit 9/11 whoeither felt mislead by Michael Moore or didn't know that theywould be in his movie at all.
FahrenHYPE 9/11 begins with Michael Moore declaring "There is noterrorist threat," which sets the tone for the movie.
Near the end of FahrenHYPE 9/11 there is a discussion aboutFahrenheit 9/11 as propaganda and how it compares to Nazipropaganda films. When Fahrenheit 9/11 was shown in Poland,Polish reviewers raised similar points. After seeing theunrealistic portrayal of Baghdad in Fahrenheit 9/11, it's nowonder that people feel this way.
If someone did a documentary about World War II and all theyincluded about Nazi Germany prior to D-Day was images of happypartygoers in Berlin during Oktoberfest without any mention ofthe concentration camps, I think it would strike most people asstrange.
That's basically what Michael Moore did with happy images ofpeople in Baghdad prior to the US-led invasion of Iraq with nomention
of the thousands of Kurds Saddam killed with chemicalweapons or the hundreds of thousands of people found in massgraves.Democrats and people who didn't support President Bush before9/11 are interviewed in FahrenHYPE 9/11 for their take onMichael Moore and Fahrenheit 9/11.
Democrat and former New York mayor Ed Koch speaks about thearrogance of Michael Moore after the 9/11 attacks. Dick Morris,political advisor to Bill Clinton, speaks about manymisrepresentations of Fahrenheit 9/11 that actually happenedunder Bill Clinton's watch, not Bush's. Democratic activist RonSilver narrates the movie.
If you want to know the facts behind Fahrenheit 9/11, this is agood place to start. I think it’s important to watch Fahrenheit9/11 first, then watch FahrenHYPE 9/11.
There’s no doubt these movies are going to get people talkingand I don’t think that’s a bad thing, unless it causes people tohit each other over the head with big loaves of French bread.
