George W. Bush won a raid for this controversial film with 82% on Rotten Tomatoes

Michael Moore’s documentary in 2004 “Fahrenheit 9/11” was a portrait up to how the United States felt during the Bumble-Sames administration George W. Bush. Moore retraces the very sloppy, deliberate and uncomposed war errors that Bush made at the time, representing how he exploited the anti-terrorist rhetoric to start unnecessary conflicts through the Middle East. The atmosphere was heated and the rhetoric was ardent. The Bush wars were stupid and destructive and did not accomplish little. Moore and many others of his age group expected the public to get up with folk songs, demonstrations and make the demand for anger that Bush stops wars and dismantled the persistent war machine. Moore, however, captured a time, when many felt hopeless about the future, openly GUNG-HO on American military power. The popular music of the time was less “we, people, do not want a war” and no longer “we will put a boot in your ass, it is the American way”.

Moore’s Doc toured some of the most embarrassing moments of George W. Bush in his presidency to this point. Bush’s style of speech was nasally, uncertain and inarticulated. And yet, he tried to affect “difficult” discussions, saying things like “you are with us, or you are with the terrorists”. Bush looked like a Nerd who sucked in to be a tyrant. Moore was not convinced and pushed “Fahrenheit 9/11” on the televisions, hoping that this would dissuade the voters from re -elect Bush. Unfortunately, this did not work.

The most overwhelming scene occurs when Bush is captured, in front of the camera, when he is informed that two planes gave up in the world trade towers in New York. Rather than leaving immediately, Bush sat down quietly in a children’s room, listening to a teacher to read a book of pictures to children, clearly at a loss of what he should do.

To condemn Bush and rent Moore’s film, the people in charge of the Golden Raspberry Awards awarded President Le Razzie for the worst actor. A doubtful honor indeed.

“Fahrenheit 9/11”, it should be noted that the public was widely loved. Made for only $ 6 million, it has accumulated more than $ 222 million in ticket sales. Moore had already won an Oscars for his 2003 “Bowling for Columbine” film, and had become a central voice of the working class on the left after having made his first feature film, “Roger & Me”, in 1989. His programs “TV Nation” and “The Awful Truth” cement his talents imposed on the company making billions of Billionaires, and for the use of Moore Trekking in the company of the Société des Ateliers de Miseère or their abuse overwhelming social benefits from companies. Not everyone appreciated the strident voice of Moore and the anecdotal form of reporting, but it was considered an important voice in the Punditry of the left pop.

Naturally, Moore hated George W. Bush. He was a lame duck who lost the popular vote and barely creaked in functions in questionable circumstances. When the World Trade Center attacks occurred on his watch, he has always made the worst possible decisions in response. Unnecessary wars have started and they would persist for literally decades. Osama bin Laden would not be understood until Obama is in office. American soldiers did not withdraw from Afghanistan until Biden was in office. Moore saw that Bush was making unspecified errors and told cheeky lies of his motivations for a war against terrorism, and wanted to document it with “Fahrenheit 9/11”. It was just a film, but it was a vocal protest on what was going on in government at the time.

Razzies are generally an apolitical body, giving their “awards” to the worst films of the year. Razzies are just a gag, of course, and they generally swing (and frustrating) with low struggle fruit. They attribute rewards to notorious films that the public already hates and obtains a little mean spirit in their ceremonies.

With “Fahrenheit 9/11”, the raids decided to become a political. If it was their work to choose the worst of the year, then Bush, they said, should make a cry. It was an ideal way to throw shadow on a president who too flexible his executive powers.

And the raids did not reserve their resentment for Bush alone. “Fahrenheit 9/11” won three raids in Toto. Donald Rumsfeld, the American defense secretary during the W. administration, won the worst support player. Rumsfeld was a curious character who spoke in poem-type aphorisms and married a violent and pro-war attitude. His post-September 11 wars in the Middle East are detailed in the 2014 documentary by Errol Morris “The Unknown known”. In addition, Bush, co-in-awarded the Razzie Award for the worst couple, an honor that he shared with Condoleezza Rice, the American secretary of state at the time. Usually, the raids would have been content to make fun of the “gigli” of Martin Brest or the Lambaste Michael Bay for the umpteenth time. In 2004, however, they wanted to put their money where their mouths were and dishonor the members of the Bush administration. Was it gimmicky and idiot? Yes. Has it been appreciated? Also yes.

Moore did not cool his rhetoric and continued to make films that are deeply critical of ultra-local who finds it difficult to make money, ill-treated American social programs and right-wing right-wicked politicians in America. In 2007, he made “Sicko”, on the broken health system of America. In 2009, he returned after Bush with “Capitalism: A Love Story”, all about the financial crisis motivated by the 2008 bush.

By the way, Trump also won the worst Razzie actor for “Fahrenheit 11/9”.
