Dubitante

We saw Fahrenheit 9/11 last night and it was pretty good, as far as unabashedly one-sided op-ed pieces go. Moore, as is his M.O., draws a lot of conclusions, but fails to make many connections (A=C, but very little in the way of B). Also, I felt the film's narrative was undermined by Moore's digressions into his tangential vendettas. But, overall, the message was clear. And it was definitely eye-opening. However, when you're spoonfed only one side, it's tough to leave the theatre with any new (and defensible) opinions. Some of Moore's points are incontrovertible; others are pretty weak. Nonetheless, I think the film is definitely worth checking out; while it doesn't offer "the answer" and won't change the election, hopefully, it will open a dialogue between all Americans about what our leaders are really doing in Washington... Unfortunately, those who might benefit the most from such a dialogue will never see the film.

For those still interested, AmbImb offers a much more thorough post about the film (from which I stole most the links for this post) or you can check out the film's unofficial blog here, or some other articles here or here.
