Fahrenheit 9/11 Analysis

Fahrenheit 9/11, creates many good points and provides the public with an inside look into the corruption of George Bush’s presidency and what could have possibly led to the attacks on 9/11. However, the documentary overall argument is extremely weak. It is not convincing to anyone, other than those already suspicious of Bush’s involvement in 9/11, because of the ineffective ways of argument shown throughout the film.

Bullying is very common in most schools in the United States Around three million United States students miss class every month just because of bullying. When Alex Libby shared his story he gave a voice to millions of children who suffer from bullying, because he shared his story it changed the way most people think of the effects of bullying. An example of bullying is there was a girl named Kelby Johnson who was mocked by teachers and students because she was a lesbian, she had to stop playing basketball because her ignorant teammates didn’t want to be near her. Alex Libby is one of the 13 million school children in the United States that is being bullied. Alex’s mom said “ Kid’s back in the day, could go home and be safe you can’t do that a lot now, now you can get bullied online.”

Michael Moore's latest film, "Fahrenheit 9/11," presents a critical look at the administration of George W. Bush and the War on Terrorism. In this film Moore investigates the rapid growth of the United States government and its trend of trampling the rights of individuals, and the corporatism that is spawned out of the close ties between big government and big business during wartime. Michael Moore may not convince all audiences, but is successful for its factual accuracy in which the evidence spoke for itself, and at the same time proclaimed Moore's artistry in transposing and splicing scenes to create impressions that supported his allegations and opinions. Michael Moore has employed two main techniques in an attempt to successfully

When it comes to bullying in schools it has plenty of negative effects on some individual students. There are some kids who don’t have a problem with bullying because they are the problem.

The obvious bias illustrated throughout Michael Moore’s film certainly does detract from the messages conveyed however when presented in the right circumstances it adds more value to the messages. The obvious bias leaves many people questioning the credibility of the director’s message as it doesn’t show the full spectrum of the situation, which is what documentaries are for, and ultimately this detracts the films message. However, in some circumstances the obvious bias brings more light on important aspects which should be acted upon thus adding more value the message being portrayed. Michael Moore has directed over 12 documentaries and a handful of them have been awarded with prestigious film awards. “Where to invade next”, “Sicko”, “Bowling for Columbine”, “Capitalism: a love story” and “Fahrenheit 9/11”, these are just half of the documentaries in which Michael Moore has directed. The purpose of a documentary is to present a nonfictional motion picture which aims to promote or

In Michael Moore's movie, he leads an above-ground assault on the Bush Presidency, questioning his legitimacy, his character, abilities and, most of all, his attempt to fight terror through the war in Iraq. And similarly, his method of attack is by trying to bring to light the facts that those in power have tried to suppress.

For example, Fahrenhype 911 starts by clarifying that George Bush won the electoral votes fairly and didn’t cheat in the votes as Michael Moore accused him of doing in Fahrenheit 911. The film also talked about the fact that George Bush didn’t spend his first presidency days on vacation and was, in fact, working around the country while his office in Washington was being remodeled. Fahrenhype 911 had also interviewed the people Michael Moore used as a news footage and found out that most of the news footage was taken without their consent and that all of them are against the ideas Michael Moore is presenting in Fahrenheit 911. Not only that but, also in Fahrenheit 911 there was a video of children and people walking down the streets then suddenly the scene is shifted into a video of bombs falling down which creates an emotional response that the bombs were falling on innocent children and civilians. However, the film Fahrenhype 911 explained that the bombs were actually falling on one of Saddam Hussein’s headquarters and not on civilians.

When watching Fahrenheit 9/11, something that I completely disagreed with was when the tragic terrorist attack was happening on September 11th, 2001, our President George W. Bush failed to take immediate action to defend our nation. As a citizen of the United States, this makes me very furious. It shows that Bush was unfit for office and did not act in the interest of the American people. It angers me because Mr. Bush had a very deep connection with Saudi Arabia and the Bin Ladins. Although he had a connection with the Bin Ladins, he was blind to the fact that his foreign partners were betraying him. Furthermore, his political and commercial allegiance to Saudi Arabia shows the responsibility for the tragic 9/11 and uses it as an excuse to

Even though Arrested Development similarly mocked the Bush administration and the war soon after the invasion in March 2003, the show received a much different reception than that of Fahrenheit 9/11. Simply put, there was no violent backlash against the main producer of the show, Ron Howard, the main writer, Mitchell Hurwitz, and any member of the Arrested Development team. Instead, the only major concrete protest to the show came from the conservative Parents Television Council, when the group listed “Sad Sack” as the “Worst Primetime TV Show of the Week” for the second week of December. In fact, the sitcom had the opposite problem of a backlash; it had lackluster ratings. Despite low ratings in the first season, critics loved the show. It

When children are pushed to commit foolish activities or suicide because of bullies, one can tell there is something wrong with the way situations are being handled in our society. The documentary, Bully, presents countless examples of the effects of bullying and how poorly circumstances are managed. Through instances resulting in juvenile detention or taking one’s own life, the documentary displays various ways kids deal with torment. As we follow the lives of five different youths suffering at the hands of their peers, we see just how much these kids go through with little to no support.

Have you ever wondered why the bully bullies? 8 of you said you were bullied and 5 of you were bullies. Well, believe it or not the bully needs the same help than the bullied. They are in different sides of the problem but still they both have a problem. We can’t forget that we are talking about kids, about human beings.

Many kids all around the world are abused by their parents, peers or even by complete strangers. One of these types of abuse is bullying. At a first glance, we might think that it is an older kid beating/teasing a younger classmate however; bullying consists of much more than this. The basic definition of bullying is when your behavior hurts or harms another person physically or emotionally. There are many different types of bullying, which may lead to a victim becoming violent later on. There is teasing and name calling, there is also picking and shoving the kid. However, the most extreme one would be beating up the child, hurting them physically and mainly, emotionally.

As a polemic, Fahrenheit 9/11 is masterful created, but it cannot be regarded as a basis for informed decision making or judgment. The documentary by Moore subsequently caused a lot of controversies regarding the reign of Bush and his administration. These controversies include his relationship with Saudi Arabia, American military, the Iraq and Afghanistan war as well as the September 11, 2001 attacks. Moore claims that all these events are products of the conspiracy by the then president and his administration, plus other antagonists such as Osama bin Laden and his family. Such controversies which are not clearly substantiated can distort the perception of the people towards their government. We can rightly point

Every day, millions of people wake up afraid of bullies. Bullying can happen anywhere, anytime. Bullying is a big issue these days, and bullies’ actions are very unpredictable. No one knows who a bullies’ next target might be and what their reasoning is. Today, bullying can be considered more extreme than it was even ten years ago, with the advent of the internet and resulting cyber-bullying. Many celebrities and organizations are speaking out for the cause, warning others about the dangers of bullying and the sometimes-fatal consequences.
