I saw the pirated [well, that's what the coordinator of the Film Club declared in the screening ceremony! And as a eager viewer I didn't give any importance to that issue] version of Fahrenheit 9/11 that was screened publicly by the Film Club in it's Patan Dhoka, Lalitpur premise last week. Mike Moore forcefully tries to implement his, in Milan Wagle's words, "I hate Bush, so you must hate him" rhetoric in the movie. To prove his point, he has assembled several footages taken in different occasions and added his sarcastic remarks. Except that of the Saudi connection of Team Bush, I could find nothing new in the movie. After seeing the documentary, I have come to the conclusion that in this Election Season in the US and after the 9/11 report became public, and the Iraq thing still hot in debate, publicity Fahrenheit of the movie definitely increased... And Moore used that increment for his own best interest! Democrats! You might have more info... Yes, I agree with Purpletoenails, Bowling for Columbine was better. I haven't seen the Rojer and Me.
