Just saw it 5 minutes ago, quite a good documentary.

The first hour and a half or so are quite lively, and Micheal Moore points out some very interesting facts, like how the Saudis have used the Carlyle Group to give the Bush family 1.4 Billion dollars.

Then the movie's viewpoiont switches to the war in iraq.

Moore uses this segment of the movie to show what war is actually like, contrary to what you see on the news of buildings exploding and everyone being happy. In fact, the movie gets QUITE gruesome at times. This is not a movie I would recommend to anyone under 15, notwithstanding the fact that I am 14 myself.

Then the movie comes back to showing how Marine recruiters prey on low-income communities and Michael Moore trying to get congressmen to talk to their children about signing up for the military.

And finally, it ends with a hilarious Bush quote that I have never seen anywhere before.

Overall, quite a well put together movie regardless of political stance that I would recommending seeing, but not to children because the Iraq scene is quite gruesome.


"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
