Fahrenheit 911 - A Film To See!

I went to see Fahrenheit 911 last night. I walked in dubious of the whole Bush/Blair regime, and walked out disgusted with it. I pity the Americans for actually voting the 'Money Making Machine' to lead their country, rather than an actual 'politician with international kudos'. I bet no one who would actually vote for Kerry is 'allowed' to vote for him, since it appears the Blue-bloods out West can redefine electoral registers and boundaries to their advantage - a fact covered by The Economist to much chagrin.
 
Still, one has to hand it to Dubya, that man has duped our Brit Prime Minister. A man I once supported, but now will actively vote against - just to remind the Labour Party that by supporting such a blue-blood-lover as their leader, they are going to lose votes - the one thing that keeps them in power! Luckily for us, we don't allow electoral roll frigging on such a grand scale as in the USA here, so be prepared to see more Yellow/Blue on Election Night than we have seen in the last 6 years or so!
 
 
I highly encourage you to go see the film, you'll learn a lot about the world, far more than watching Big Brother or likewise!

    It's depressing that the war will lead a lot of people to vote Tory in protest, when they supported the war 100%. So what's a man to do? Well, I've always voted yellow for what it's worth.

    What's even more depressing was that I aired my views on Bush on another message board... and nothing quite prepared me for the vitriol I took for it.

    Looking forward to seeing the film tonight, although I know I'll walk out at the end feeling very, very angry.

    Still, as John Lydon once said, anger is an energy. (And then he goes and appears on "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here". Huh.)

    OK - there were a few minor flaws in it, but the thing that annoyed most people - the apparent 'exploitation' of the woman who lost her son - I actually thought was justified. We always see modern warfare on a macroscopic scale, and it's rare that people show the effect on an actual family (and she gave permission for it). Imagine that, times a thousand for the USA and times many thousands around rest of the world.

    Good film, then.
