I thought that the way that the movie was filmed was crazy biased. Even just the music they played in the background while showing a republican. They would play sad and dramatic music while showing members of the Republican Party smiling or getting their makeup done. Here is the thing though, there is nothing wrong with smiling when you aren't on camera - we don't even know if that footage was from after 9/11 or not, there was no context, and also, the way that they portrayed the republicans as being vain and caring so much about how they look on national T.V. was biased. How much would you bet that Democrats also get their makeup done? It’s part of the standards of going on national television. We are ALL vain in that way. I'm not saying that I'm a republican - I don't know which party I identify with - but that is what annoys me most about politics, people are so dedicated to their party that they refuse to look from the other side.
You also know there is a bias because the producer said that he had a friend who was in one of the towers. So of course he is will be holding a grudge and make the best attempt possible to share it.
music does play a major role. showing citizens crying and then showing George golfing on vacation shows that it is obviously biased, and decreases the whole video's credibility as a reliable source of information.
Fahrenheit 9/11 didnt surprise me. This video just further made my point of how unprepared we were for nine-eleven. So far the beginging of the video has highlighted the stupidity of our former president, George Bush. Although the video is extremely bias in portraying one veiw point of what happened, I also agree with some of the points made.
I agree with you Renee , it showed it when he was at the elementary school reading to the kids and didn't make it a point to act immaeditely but just sat there and continued to listen to the story about goats.
I really like the movie so far, although I think it’s very over exaggerated a lot of the time. Michael Moore does a great job at finding video clips of George W. Bush when he’s not doing things to help the country and is instead golfing or cutting wood not exactly who we want are president to be. In my mind if a Canadian person were to see this they would think that our president takes not only his job but the problems of our country as a joke. Although all the scenes in the film are true they are shown in a over dramatic way and is very biased. The scene when President Bush is reading to the elementary school when he learns the news of the second plane crashing into the second tower is a bad demonstration of our country and is an example of biased in this film.
I definitely agree that the film is displayed in a very exaggerated and bias way. It’s understandable that any individual, including our previous President George W. Bush, would enjoy spending available free time with hobbies or going on a vacation. On the other hand the President had many other responsibilities to focus on. When 9/11 occurred it was confirmed that the President hadn’t been doing enough to protect our country. Bush’s response to investigating the attack came off as shady, as if he was trying to hide something. In my mind I think President Bush should have taken immediate action when he learned our country was under attack. This should have been done not only for his own protection but also so he could get to the bottom of what was going on. Even though the film is bias I agree that if any other country watched this film they would feel President Bush didn’t take the safety of America seriously.
Fahrenheit 9/11 displayed a very biased view of President Bush and Congress. The film presented how the President was spending his time, what he was doing, and what he wasn’t doing in a destructive way. I don’t agree with the way our country’s administration handled numerous issues during George W. Bush’s term as President, but the circumstances seem a lot worse if you only display them negatively. The President and Congress’s responses to the 9/11 attack were shockingly disappointing. The President should have done more to prepare for any possibility of a terrorist attack, especially if there were indications of one in the future. The Presidents response to the tragic event should have been handled much more appropriately. On the other hand I think Americans need to realize that there is no such thing as a perfect President. Any president would be in shock and unsure how to handle an event such as the attack that occurred on 9/11.
i think the video did a great job if its goal was to make George bush look like a lost child. Not saying he was, but while watching the video, I noticed that every time bush was asked to speak, they showed clips that made him look downright clueless to what was going on around him. In fact the only time i could actually see a "presidential" man was when the secret service told him they were under attack. I'm not talking about his actions (him not doing anything was cowardice) but his facial expression was the only serious look he had through the whole video of clips that MICHAEL MOORE put together. biased? yup
One of the things that i found extremely corrupt was how the African Americans couldn't find a senator. we are talking about 21st century America! its almost comical how ignorant and neglectful those senators were to their country.
i also think that when George Bush heard about 9/11, he entered into a frozen state of mind. he knew he would have to act but didnt know how. he also knew he would be held as much responsible as bin laden himself. he knew it could have been prevented, and that he was at fault. the video made bush look like a glorified cowboy. the job was obviously not for him.
