Don't just look at this film as anti-Bush--which it certainly is. The point here is that someone has stepped up for humanity. Moore makes a number of points--in an entertaining fashion--that forces us to at least consider what's transpired in this country over the past four years. Moore's main points are: 1/ the U.S. and Saudi Arabia are joined at the hip because of money 2/ the Administration's post 9-11/anti-terrorist campaign plays on scaring the American public 3/ the war in Iraq was a put-up job 4/ It wasn't just the White House but also Congress and Big Media who got swept up in the "whee, we're going to war" excitement 5/ The decision to invade Iraq put our armed forces in harm's way--unnecessarily 6/ Less fortunate people in our society wind up suffering the most in wartime Enough of the term paper points. Moore handles all this with news clips--some pretty shocking, Dragnet bits, good music and a tone that carries a very simple theme--does any of this seem fair? If Bush comes off like a clown, then when addressing a dinner of fat cats, he might try avoiding statements like, "Some call you the elite. I call you my base." The spirit of the 60's lives and his name is Michael Moore.
