Hmm, just viewed this movie, I expected something (I don't know) more....It all seemed a little like Axe grinding to me. I was hoping for something more thought provoking. However, There are many moving images to this film and some excellent points are made.
I was sympathetic for the grieving mother of the American Soldier, but my heart ached for the distraught Iraqi woman who lost everything, she reminded me of my Italian Grandmother. I learned something from "Bowling for Columbine" and was hoping to learn more from this film, but basically I walked away with: ** War is awful ** Terrorism is worse ** Iraq was not responsible for 9/11 ** Our Government wants us to be fearful ** George W. is rich, (VERY RICH) ** He doesn't want you to know it ** He got that way with help from the Saudis ** Poor Black Men in Housing Projects are "prime candidates" for recruitment, while rich Congressmen/women sons and daughters are not
the problem is...I KNEW ALL OF THIS BEFORE WATCHING the people that don't know this or choose not to know this won't rent it anyway.
