The movie begins by reexamining the 2000 election for the
millionth time. The thing that bothers me the most about the 2000
election is that Alec Baldwin didn't leave the country like he
promised after George Bush became President. Doesn't anyone keep
a promise anymore?
After seeing interviews with Michael Moore and reading
information in the press, I wasn't surprised by the Bush bashing
in the beginning of the movie. After watching half an hour of it,
I was almost expecting Michael to interview the Pope and have him
say that George Bush was the Anti-Christ.
Then the movie cuts to a peaceful, wonderful Utopia Baghdad.
Through the complete and utter omission of heinous acts committed
by Saddam, Michael seems to approve of Saddam's brutal regime.
Michael shows children playing in a playground and smiling along
with weddings and happy people in Baghdad. He gives the
impression that everything would've been fantastic, if the "evil"
Americans hadn't started bombing the city.
It wasn't blue skies and sunshine for everyone under Saddam.
Michael doesn't devote one word to the thousands of Kurds that
Saddam killed with chemical warfare. There wasn't any mention of
the large mass graves found in Iraq with over three-hundred
thousand men, women and children either.
I enjoyed the section of the film dealing with senators and
members of Congress who voted on bills they had never read. It
applied to Republicans and Democrats.
I think Michael used humor and poignant interviews to get his
point across more effectively in Rodger and Me and The Big One.
In both of these movies he had a point to get across, but he
didn’t do it with blind hatred.
