Fahrenheit 9/11
By Corrina Howland, age 14, Wellington
Fahrenheit 9/11 is Bush-bashing at its cinematographic best. The documentary provides an insight into Michael Moore’s many theorems about George Dubya and takes viewers step by step through the scandals and subsequent cover-ups made by the Bush government upon the issue of the Iraq War. Although each allegation was supported with varying amounts of incriminatory evidence, it left the sceptic in me wondering whether these assertions were substantiated or whether the rule of six degrees of separation had been misused. However, the full scope of the damage in Iraq is not something to be disregarded. During the documentary, the viewers are confronted with extensive and often disturbing footage of the war. Special mention must be made to the GI Joes who gladly shared with us the trials and tribulations of killing innocent civilians, and of course, their favourite choice of combat music. It seemed as if they were still little boys, playing with their Playstation rather than with human lives.
I would recommend this movie, as although it did not highlight any new issues for those who are familiar with Moore’s campaign, it did provide a consolidation of facts and strike yet another blow in the heart of the Bushdom.
