As someone who opposed the Iraq war, I have to say that Fahrenheit 911 was a monumental disappointment. Rather than use existing and available cold hard evidence from credible sources to dispel the myths and bad intelligence that lead to the invasion of Iraq, Michael Moore chooses the low road, watering down his argument with sarcasm and misleading juxtapositions. This documentary focuses on circumstantial evidence which either isn't followed through with or is ultimately a fabrication, such as the accusation that the Bin Laden family received special treatment from the Bush administration in that they were allowed to leave the country while other air traffic was grounded. That sneaky insinuation doesn't correspond with the fact that the Bin Ladens (after being interviewed) were free to fly as was the rest of the country.
Moore uses other cheap tricks to embarrass the Republican party and paint them as a pack of hypocritical heartless neocon chicken hawks. The stunt in which he tries to get congressmen to enlist their children for the war in Iraq to depict them as unwilling to pitch in their own effort is very deceptive. Congress cannot enlist their own children for any war; they have to do that themselves. Mocking the contributions of countries not nearly as prominent as the United States (such as Morocco, Romania, Palau, and the Netherlands) smacks of the sort of superpower arrogance that the antiwar movement purports to hate, and it contributes nothing to the case.
This film does do a somewhat decent job as a time capsule with respect to recalling the feelings and paranoia of post-September 11 America, but at the end of the day, no one's mind is changed. If you went in already against the war, then this film will tell you nothing you didn't already know and will not give you any additional debate ammunition. Bush supporters walking in this film will be highly skeptical and suspicious and will leave with their minds unchanged, and rightly so. This film only serves to galvanize the opposition and weaken the perceived credibility of Bush's critics. It failed in its goal and ultimately fails to be a moving, significant documentary done to alter the course of American politics. 4/10
