I bought the DVD the second day it became available. The first few ten minutes had me mad enough to throw a brick through the screen. It showed how the damn election for President of the United States of America was easily stolen by a bunch of crooked assholes and how Bush just up and took over. He is not a President, he is a fucking Crime Boss.
The thing that set off alarms with me was the minute or so of complete darkness yet the soundtrack of the French documentary 9-11 played loudly in the background. I am sure Mr. Moore had enough funds to play the royalty fees to use the footage, so why did'nt he? Well maybe it is because of something I noticed the third time I watched the documentary with a neighbor.
There is this scene where the brother Gedeon Naudet goes out with Engine One to investigate a gas leak. As they all pile out of the firetruck and break out the equipment, he pans the camera and does a fast focus reference frame of the twin towers. You can clearly see how the whole damn street is blocked off by fire trucks AND some type of large city vehicle. Why did they block off a whole damn 5 lane wide one way street when the gas leak was on the far corner in the only area that even contained gas lines? Well kids, I think it was because they could'nt risk losing the only sure fire money shot of the first plane hitting the tower. Well who is THEY Uncle Jerk?
THEY are the people that made sure that the only footage Michael Moore used was what they WANTED him to use. All in all he did a pretty good job of showing how everything escalated after that. My biggest fear is that the upcoming election will be just as crooked. If Bush wins again I fucking might just swim to Cuba and do standup at the Copa Cabana or some shit. :flame: :flame: :flame:
