Get the Fahrenheit 451 mug.(n.) The title of a movie made by Michael Moore. The title is inspired by an older movie and book titled "Fahrenheit 451," about book censorship. The movie consists of real video clips with a narrative voice-over.
The subject of the movie is the presidency of George W Bush and the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11th, 2001. The movie criticizes many aspects of Bush and his handling of the attack.
Critics of the movie complained that, though the movie uses real video clips, the presentation and editing of many clips is out of context and misleading. Moore and his fans praised the movie as an example of free speach and an exposition of facts.

Get the Fahrenheit 9/11 mug.It's not a documentory, it's a movie. Let me tell you why.
Micheal Moore omits a lot of information in his movies, which leads to false ideas. For example, the shot of Bush golfing. It was not taken after 9/11. It was taken a year earlier at the start of his presidency. I am anti-Bush, but I'm not going to be brainwashed by some guy who lie his way into the American society.

Get the Fairenn mug.A documentary, created by filmaker Michael Moore. Anyone who says Fahreinheit 9/11 is all lies or anyone who says Fahareinheit 9/11 is completley true is an idiot, because they weren't their when it happened, and you can't trust what the media says.

Get the Fahrenheit 9/11 mug.A movie, directed by Alan Peterson, which rebuts some of the deceits in Michael Moore's movie, Fahrenheit 9/11. It includes appearances by actor Ron Silver, Democratic Senator Zell Miller, author Ann Coulter, political adviser Dick Morris, and author Dave Kopel. It documents the misuse of information and footage in Moore's film and combts some of his ideas. Nowhere near as hyped as Moore's film, therefore, nowhere near as profitable.
