Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004)
An eye-opening, if not one-sided look at the post 9/11 world
First of all, this movie is truly not for the weak of stomach. There are some pretty graphic scenes (real video) of public beheading, corpses, wounded soldiers/civilians, explosions, etc...
Taken as a whole, this movie was very interesting and probably one of the most unique I've seen in theaters.
My one complaint is that it will really sway the ignorant or impressionable in way that isn't entirely fair. The reason behind this is Moore's way of presenting his arguments. He'll begin by giving some facts that will draw the audience in (and make then believe that they are being force fed truths), and then he'll make suggestions or conclusions about other details based on his personal opinion. If you're not watching carefully, it's possible to be tricked into believing that something that is not a fact, is.
This being said, it is definitely something everyone should see. I also encourage you to watch it with an open mind, and keep in mind that it is a very biased point of view.
