Fahrenheit 9/11 Analysis
Fahrenheit 9/11, is a documentary directed by Michael Moore. It all starts with the elections of the year 2000, with George W. Bush, Republican and Al Gore, Democrat. As they finished counting the votes all news channels gave Al Gore as winner, but friends and political allies of George W. Bush at Fox News Channel declared Bush the winner and so all the news retracted themselves and did the same as Fox. It then suggests the voting controversy in Florida as electoral fraud.

Even do the majority of people didn’t wanted him as there president he didn’t even tried to prove them wrong, instead he spend 60% of his time on vacation. The documentary segues into the 9/11 attack. He says Bush was informed of the first plane hitting the Twin Towers (World Trade Center) on his way to an elementary school, but Bush acted like everything was normal as if he didn't care and he sat in a Florida classroom with children and listened to them reading and thinking. When they told him that a second plane has hit the World Trade Center and that the nation is "under attack", Bush allows the students to finish their book reading, and and he continued

Then they pretended anti-terror efforts, including government infiltration of pacifist groups and other things, and the signing of the USA PATRIOT Act. The documentary then points to the Iraq War, comparing there lives before and after also, by presenting there wonderful lives as Bush told the nation lies about what was really happening in Iraq. The citizens of Iraq are presented as living really happy lives previous to the country's invasion by the U.S. military.

    Andrea, I like the paragraph you pulled from the book because it really sheds light on the major changes of how life is lived now. To Ish, the great disaster is something he has experiences first hand where the younger members of the tribe have only heard of what happened. As generations continue the great disaster becomes history, another event in a book. The first hand experience is gone because all who lived during it have pasted. There is a world of difference between experiencing something and being told about something. It reminds me of 9/11, being that freshmen entering high school this past year are the first class to learn about 9/11 as history because they were not alive during it. It’s a foreign concept for me to think that student…

    1. The strong point of the movie is that it shows the parallel worlds of Lana and her uncle Paul. They both are people who try to help the world be a better place and they both end up in horrible situations in two very important cities in the United States. Lana is in Los Angeles volunteering at a Christian homeless shelter and Paul who is a Vietnam veteran tries to prevent Los Angeles from attacks just like 9/11. He suspects everyone who is of Arabic origin. They meet each other when a Pakistani gets brutally murdered. The best part of the movie is the well-assembled scenes, they are very dynamic, and that makes it that the two storylines come together so nicely. The Paul’s character is very tragic, he has suffered so much trauma in his life,…

    The movie highlights the extermination of Armenians from the Ottoman Empire during World War I. It uses newspaper articles, photographs, personal statements and experts in the topic to discuss Turkey’s denial of the genocide to this day. In class we discussed how the Young Turks led the Ottoman Empire during WWI and used the war as a cover-up. The documentary discussed the genocide as a result of the civil war between Muslims and Christians. The government rationalized this by stating that the genocide never occurred, it was just a removal of the Armenians from the border. This would give Russians access to the Ottoman Empire through the Black Sea. They feared that the Armenians would ally with the enemies, the Russians, in hope to use Russian aid to create nationalized stated for the Armenians. I found this interesting because of the pull between these two reasoning for the killing of numerous Armenians.…

    War Made Easy Analysis

    In the film, Solomon’s argument is that this distortion of the truth or, at the very least a disassociation from the facts, is put forth by the media to cash in on hysteria and, knowingly or unknowingly, assist the government’s underhanded political maneuvering. The documentary starts back in the 1960s with Vietnam, exploring the controversial Gulf of Tonkin incident, soon weaving through Nixon, Regan, Bush, Clinton, and Bush II to expose the routine of each administration, as they justify combat to keep the profitable war machine humming. “War Made Easy” opens fire on the media and their overall absolute carelessness. Solomon’s argument is an obvious one in that corporate news is impossible to trust. The networks, Fox, MSNBC, and CNN are all targeted here as leeches of the establishment, more consumed with creating elaborate war coverage intro graphics than even making a mild attempt to address the realities of conflict.…
