Delving into 9/11, the war with Iraq, the sadly missed opportunity to nab Bin Laden, the 2001 elections, and the Patriot Act (not in that order), this documentary does bring up some good valid points, but at just around an hour or so it doesn't go into extreme detail on any of them. Nothing new can be gleamed from the film by anyone who follows politics. However it was competently made, if dry. Celsius 41.11 wasn't extremely slanted (for the most part, as the last 5 minutes or so plays out like a campaign ad, complete with smiling children & happy Americans basking in the sunshine of another 'terrorist free' day thanks to President Bush). If that propaganda ending was left out, and the film merely stuck to absolute facts, it would've made the whole production better.My Grade: C+

I am always a little suspicious when I see a movie or book title that is obviously a rip-off of a successful or well-known work. That said, this "movie" isn't too bad. Being a person that leans towards the right side of the aisle, this is not arousing any great negative emotion. The commentators are mainstream conservatives (no black-helicopter-warning kooks). Some of the points of view given are ones that have occurred to me, but have not received much mention in other media. While F911 is the liberal equivalent of Falwell's "The Clinton Chronicles", C41.11 falls short of hysteria. That said, liberals are still going to hate it, because of the points of view given.Worth the time to watch if someone loans it to you. I would probably not buy it.

Touchy/Feely Liberals hate it, check. Substantiates events with facts and not emotion, check. Narrator doesn't use magical telepathy (as in F 9/11) to tell me what others are thinking, check. Shunned due to content by Holy-weird check Producer not hell-bent on swaying an election, check.I'm amazed at how radical liberals have become. All over the news we see liberals that have run out of thoughts resort to violence and non-sensical attacks. In this case, they'll band their teen-buddies together to trash a movie they've never seen.Everyone owes it to themselves to see all sides. Watching Fahrenheit 9/11 without viewing a follow-up rebuttal is like thinking with only half a brain.

I find it interesting to read people spewing hate at liberals while talking about how liberals spew hate. September 11 should have been about togetherness and peace. Everyone in the world considered themselves Americans that day and felt our pain. Instead it has been distorted into something else. The United States has not been more divided or less respected in the world in my lifetime. People on the left and the right are at each other's throats. I do consider myself liberal, and I enjoyed this movie as a response to Fahrenheit 911. It is important for me to see what conservatives think. I do not feel degrading anyone's point of view is pertanent to this argument.
