I love it, but some right wingers wsho saw the film hated it. Big surprise.
One thing I wish Moore had done. Show the whole time Bush say i nthat classroom with a ticking clock, and the footage from NYC while he did so....It was too short, he abbreviated that time. He should have let us feel that entire time of him sitting, acitonless while all hell was breaking loose. He made it easy on him. I also wish he could add the Cheyney Go F** yourself comment into the DVD version of the film somewhere. Because it sums it all up in those words.
The image of the Flint woman approaching the White House was unbeleivably powerful. I loved it but have met some people who say (a) spent too much time painting Bush as a buffoon with his own quotes rather than dealing with PNAC, and 911 testimony (b) didn't balance Hussein's atrocities with our actions in Iraq slanting it to one side (c) didn't foucs enough on other cabinet members statements or the use fo firefighters and policeman of NYC (d) didn't get into the finanial aspects of the war, and the conspriacy ideas and the money trail enough.
Personally, I loved the film. I think it was about leadership's hubris, who pays for war in terms of life, the naivete of America, the loss of freedom, the emotions of war they want to hide us from.
