'Fahrenheit 9/11' causes a rise in temperatures

BY MATTHEW KEMENY AND MAUREEN MANZANO / REGIONAL STAFF WRITERS 06/26/2004

MOOSIC -- "Fahrenheit 9/11" caused the temperatures of several viewers to elevate Friday as they walked out of the Cinemark theater after viewing the film on its opening night.

The movie, a liberal documentary by Oscar-winning director Michael Moore, is critical of the Bush administration's handling of the time following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and recent military efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its theme struck a nerve with some local residents.

"It was a totally unjust war. And we had no business going there to begin with and we have no business being there now," said 71-year-old Fred Griffin, of Dunmore. "The message is there and it is very clear and it is very true. I just hope people go and remember it when the November (elections) come."

"It confirms your worst fears about the lies and the conspiracies and everything," Mr. Bufalino said. "(The Bush administration) just don't care about the people they're sending over there."

Lackawanna County Commissioner A.J. Munchak, also said he doesn't agree with the message and he didn't go to see it. "But Mr. Moore has a right to produce any kind of movie. That's what the arts are all about," he said.
