Fahrenheit 9/11: scary

15 Jul 2004: Went to see Fahrenheit 9/11 last night, and well worth the effort. Film critics don’t like it because they think its lack of objectivity damages the documentary genre, and because the publicity it’s generating overshadows more worthy films, but this stuff needs to get to the widest possible audience, and who cares how it’s done? One of the most frightening things for me was the suggestion – not really followed through in the film – that the invasion of Iraq was because the Saudis wanted it. The Saudis’ investment in the USA is so huge that if they pulled the plug, it could cause economic disaster. So when your biggest shareholder says jump, you jump. Scary.

Me Tweet quite a bit
