Fahrenheit 9/11 :
A propaganda film and a slice of life
Amazing !


He (Michael Moore) saved the question of Israel and secret services in the
strategy of the Iraki war, evacuee Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib ; exit Bremer
(nevertheless also concerned by the beautiful years of Afghanistan- to know
that he holds a villa in Basc country, Fr), Negroponte, MS, CIA, FBI and
partners. This choice, to be held only in the question of the imbricated
power with the money of Bush family - Saudi including via Afghanistan - and
to show the capacity of arbitrary destruction abroad by betting on the body
of the people swamped by the recession of the work in the cities of deep
America, as well as the structure of the holding companies in which Bush are
actively involved, and the forgery of the game in the democratic
institutions. (the question on September 11th grinds, as the title indicates
it).

These absences explain perfectly the already exhaustive object in the chosen
fields - object being essentially to reveal what is the least known in the
United States in prospect of the election campaign and to show the
schizophrenic fracture marked by the money in the United States; it is true,
on the other hand, that in the reversal of the Press opinion at the time of
the broadcasting on Abu Ghraib pics, that of top journalists as Hersh in The
New Yorker, but the others also of The Washington post and the same New York
Times ( Sontag and the infinite war -what Moore shows about the active
Patriot Act in its rustic way in Michigan) as everywhere else in the United
States, indeed had structurally shown the questions left aside in this film,
besides enough long -the recent mediatization of all these problems would
have prevented the necessary distance to affect the target of Bush itself.

Furthermore, he does not try to divide the American people himself into
diverse communities, conveniently, on the contrary he wishes the widest
public plate (obviously).

A slice of life marked by the tragic change of situtation of a woman, a
social assitant in the home town of Moore, Flint, stricken city following
the liquidation of General Motors in the region (" Return to Flint " - on
1980) and still not rebuilded, slice of life of all the protagonists ( Moore
himself being one ) to go to Washington at last..

A total American film in the confidence of the own critical autonomy and the
power to creative communication by the author, launching the pragmatic
cinema in a challenge to the real-time media of the election campaign (
could be what was the value of the golden palm to this film ); this totally
anachronistic challenge, nevertheless total contemporary of the crisis of
the media - as holdings in the hand of power - which marks a new ethical
stage of the critical comunication as that must cross in the mass
communications in indifférenciant supports.

Knowing the differences of budget to the various candidates in campaign, and
the warmth inspired by the opponent in Bush that is Kerry, although having
become famous as veteran in the movement for the peace ( Vietnam ) and often
called on the questions of minorities, who signed all the same Patriot Act
and is not, by far, of the branch most libertarian of the Democrats, (itself
being a Skulls and Bones as Bush since student), and the film being said
already in free consultation on Internet, notably in the United States in
aid of those who are far or deprive for the access to cinemas.. we shall not
delay knowing the real weight of the cinema in the mass communications in
the United States, in fine.
