Weekend Dad & Daughter Documentary Time: Fahrenheit 9/11

Movie watch Time: 9/3/2011 night

Dad's questions:

Q: What is your rating of the film?

Vania: 9/10

Q: What is the most impressive part of the film?

Vania: Learned a lot of facts that I have never heard before

Q: What is the most disappointed part of the film?

Vania: the director wants us to hate President George Bush

Q: What have you learned from the movie?

Vania:

1) War of Iraq is for business and oil
2) I feel George W. Bush might have lied to many of us about the war.
3) Everyone was terrified of terrorism

Q: What do you want to learn but the documentary does not include?

Vania: Who is indeed responsible for 9/11?

Q: If you were the director, how would you have developed a different plot from the director Micheal Moore?

Vania: I want to treat President Bush a little bit fairer. I want to have some positive reviews about Bush in my film.


Daughter's questions:

Q: How do you like this movie?

Dad: I like it. I think the movie tells us many things we did not know originally. The movie certainly has its own bias. But it shows the greatness of United States as a nation---the right of free speech, which is critical to every human being.

I do not like wars and I do not like the war of Iraq in particular. But I do not agree to the director in the movie who declared the total innocence of Iraq with the terrorism. Unquestionably Saddam Hussein is a bad guy and he had many connections to the global terrorists. On the other hand, however, does it give us enough reason to invade the nation and kill so many civilians?

Mama's comment: the spread of fear was exaggerated in the movie. There are no enough evidences in the movie showing that the Bush administration had intentionally made the circumstance of fear in order for their "evil" plan. Michael Moore had created a great plot of storytelling. But it is insufficient to the conclusion of the documentary.

Q: what is your rating?

Dad: 7.5/10. Superior storytelling. But it is significantly biased in its theme.
