All About Movies

There must be a reason why Fahrenheit 9/11 is ranked #1 on Amazon and I can mention a few right here:

1. The movie pulls no punches. It delivers a serious message with verifiable facts in a way that moves people to tears and laughter, seconds apart from each other.

2. The movie is controversial. It tells the story of how our current President and his administration have ties to oil interests in the Middle East, an old hatred of Saddam ("tried to kill my Daddy"), and a heretofore unmatched ability to make the wrong decisions based on preconceived and premeditated agendas without considering the costs in human lives or human dollars.

3. Tears. This movie could reverse a drought with the amount of tears it has evoked so far. The power of anyone watching this movie to be moved to tears (and you will, trust me) is a powerful statement of it's importance and relevance right now. We've all seen the destruction in New York City but we haven't ever understood some of the reasons it was allowed to happen, or why we find ourselves in a war in the wrong country, with no connections WHATSOEVER to the terrorists that brought 9/11 into our lives.
