] Fahrenheit 9/11 (* * * ½ out of four) is everything ] you've heard. It also is some things you haven't heard, ] which is what makes it worth watching. ] Of course, its strong point of view in an increasingly ] polarized nation will draw both ardent support and ] virulent opposition. But no moviegoer will be bored. The ] documentary's scathing attack on the war in Iraq and ] George W. Bush's presidency is informative, provocative, ] frightening, compelling, funny, manipulative and, most of ] all, entertaining. ] ] Much of what filmmaker Michael Moore focuses on has been ] covered in news reports, magazine articles and books. But ] because he still manages to present new data and ] little-seen footage, connecting the dots in a cogent and ] persuasive way, Fahrenheit 9/11 is the year's must-see ] film. ] ] Few will forget the devastating footage of Bush's ] bewildered, dumbstruck reaction on the morning of Sept. ] 11, 2001, when he learns of the attack on the World Trade ] Center. Instead of conferring with advisers, he sits ] quietly in a Florida classroom for an interminable seven ] minutes and then reads My Pet Goat to the children.
