OMG! I'm finally watching 9/11...already in tears

[Atman]

Jesus...And I knew all this stuff, but I'd never seen the inauguration footage before...ten minutes in, I'm already in tears...holy shit.

[Search Party]

1. are you talking abt the egg throwing?

If so, I had never seen that either.!

speechless

[napi21]

4. I didn't remember the eggs either.

I rented F911 on Tues night. I think most of us knew most of what was in the film, but it's shocking when it's all put together in 2 hours.

[Skittles]

9. as the film clearly showed

there was massive dissent at the inaguration but our "liberal media" chose to ignore it. In pages and pages of NYT inauguration coverage it rated one paragraph.

[Southpaw Bookworm]

23. In addition to dissent

There was also some rounding up and arrests of people using their Constitutional right to peacefully protest -- that didn't make it to the "liberal media" reports either.

[LizW]

35. I took my mom to see it

and when that egg hit the limo, she gasped and said, "They NEVER showed us that!"

I had told her before that this happened, and she didn't believe me.

She, like so many, thought that because Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw didn't mention it, everyone just got over the Supreme Court installing an unelected president.

[AngryOldDem]

41. I remember turning to my husband in the theater

and saying that I didn't recall that happening. He said, "The media didn't cover it."

By the time I walked out at the end, I was in tears I was so angry.

[foreigncorrespondent]

2. Keep a few...

...boxes of tissues next to you, you are really gonna need them, before it finishes!

[Catfight]

3. I'm still baffled not one senator contested the Supreme Court ruling.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

7. i was sooooo sooo angry and cursed the dems for NOT 1 of them even

Kucinich :grr: signed it

[Love Bug]

11. Al Gore asked them not to

I know this has been discussed here before, but the reason why no senators sided with the RBC is because Al Gore asked them not to.

[Catfight]

30. Why did Al Gore not want to do what was right? n/t

[NYCGirl]

34. Here's some background on it:

[robbedvoter]

37. That's a lie - they negotiated positions on committees for their silence

Al Gore told the CBC the day before to follow their conscience.
besides, democracy was not Al Gore's to give up.
EACH SENATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS THAT DAY.

[Warpy]

14. I remember how crazy the neocons were in 2000

flush with just having impeached a popular president over a furtive blowjob from an overheated groupie. They were passing out flyers on military bases urging a military revolt if Gore won, and that wasn't even the worst of it.

The Senate was full of scared men and still is. The anthrax mailings kept them that way.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

5. saw it 7 times and cried evrytime..my sister just called she bought it and

she was only into 10 minutes and was crying....it's a 20 tissue movie

[Pirate Smile]

6. I loved the "Lord Help Us" sign. So true but so sad.

[fudge stripe cookays]

8. And now you know why skinner...

and the guys created DU.

I was so pissed at myself for not paying closer attention.

I tried to fit into a year what it had taken me 37 to FINALLY become passionate about. Almost too late.

Thanks guys!

10. It's a powerful movie, which is why...

I believe there is a concerted effort underway to minimize publicity about it. CBS, ABC and NBC have all refused to advertise the DVD during their news programming.

[alexisfree]

40. thank you for your link...

I am new out here so I have a life time to learn about who runs this system. thank you.

[AzDar]

12. I didn't know about the eggs either.. apparently the media began

rolling over for this buffoon's administration even earlier than we thought! I saw F9/11 in the theatre on the first day of it's release, and bawled like a baby... left the theatre looking like Alice Cooper and mad as hell. It is painful to watch, as the truth often is, but ever-so worth it.

[Mr E McSquare]

13. The silence

Mike Moore treats the day of 911 so carefully.
The screen goes black and all you hear is crash, bang and people screaming. Even just the sound of that day left me sobbing.
If that doesnt move you to tears you have no soul.
Also isnt wolfowitz just a disgusting little pig. Looking at him licking his hand and smoothing his hair makes me ill. Sick!

[DulceDecorum]

16. In Plane Sight

is the next one you really have to see.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6847.htm

It tells you stuff about 911 that you really NEED to know.
And it is being suppressed even harder than Fahrenheit 911.
Watch it, and you will see why.

[Search Party]

18. and then his aide licks HIS hand

who are these sick fuckos?

my wife says they are almost alien in their appearance and actions.

[B Calm]

15. The ending will change your tears to RAGE!

[ComerPerro]

17. I spent most of the time in the theater watching this laughing really hard

I thought the movie was hilarious.

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. Please tell me you're joking...

I laughed in a few places, but I would hardly call this film "hilarious." :shrug:

[ComerPerro]

20. I am being serious

I don't know, maybe I am just too cynical about all of this.

The thing is, Farenheit 9/11 didn't really introduce anything that I haven't heard or seen before. So, I was laughing at the funny parts in the beginning, and was laughing at people's reaction when the movie got really seroius.

I couldn't help myself. I thought it was funny. It really suprised me that so many people were hearing these statements for the first time.

[OneTwentyoNine]

27. Laughed at a few parts and wanted to scream out at most other parts...

Such is what F9/11 will do to you...

[onecitizen]

21. I got mine yesterday........

and have trouble putting in the player.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

22. NOTHING prepares you for actually seeing the film. NOTHING.

How many "F-9/11" threads on DU? How many times has every frame, every nuance of the film been put under the microscope and discussed over, and over, and over...

And when I went to Tower at 9:00 AM on Tuesday and got my copy, I watched it and realized that I basically don't know jack shit.

I was 3000 miles away when the planes hit the Twin Towers. I woke up to the footage right before the second plane hit. When I saw the panic and grief of the people in the streets in F-9/11, I actually REMEMBERED some of these faces from the original news broadcasts.

All of the diversions in Iraq, the "war on terra," the Connecticut Cowboy Bullshit Bravado, and you know what? Bush DIDN'T "smoke 'em out of their holes," because it would have been BAD FOR BUSINESS. He filled over 1000 body bags with the spoils of his "agenda."

NOTHING prepares you for that movie.

[Atman]

24. Oh the irony...

I just finished 9/11, and one of the features afterwards. Literally teared up several times, then just welled up in anger. After it was done, I switched from "video" to "teevee" to be greeted with the Sheraton bombing in the "secure" area of Baghdad.

Fuck these bastards. I wish I could make every Bush supporter I know watch this film. I'm not sure I can much tolerance for Bush supporters anymore. I don't care that "they're just ignorant of the facts." The facts are right there. Not just in the movie, everywhere. The fact that so many people can be so stupid just makes me so sad I cannot even believe it.

[DulceDecorum]

25. Get a copy of IN PLANE SIGHT

which boldly tells you what you need to know.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6847.htm

[OneTwentyoNine]

29. Yep,War is real,getting killed over there is real...

Its not a GD video game or the US doing nothing but kicking ass with all our high tech toys. Its real,its dirty and you can EASILY lose your life in Iraq. Not one FUCKER supporting the Bush regime can figure that out for themselves.

David

[OneTwentyoNine]

26. Wonder if your to the part about the ladies military son...

Nope won't spoil anything for you.....

David

[proud patriot]

28. My son viewed the first 20 minutes of F9/11 this morning

He is 8 and requested viewing it . We are going to take it
in steps . But I can tell you the look on his face when he
saw bush sitting in that classroom , was pure horror and
questioning why bush is not getting up . he said
"mommy I understand why you've been working so hard"

:cry: that meant the world to me

[Wind Dancer]

38. Oh, that is so sweet!

What a wonderful little boy you have.

[Lisa]

31. good -- but even better in a theatre!

I usually don't feel this way about movies, but seeing F 9/11 in a packed audience -- with people gasping, muttering, and even crying -- is truly unforgettable.

[A Brand New World]

32. I agree with seeing it in the theatre!

I saw it the day it came out and the theatre was almost full (matinee). I spent the entire time alternating between crying and being furious. The rest of the audience was going through the same emotions. Also, this is the only movie I've ever gone to where there was a standing ovation at the end. I think I will now go and purchase it as a constant reminder to just how bad these past 4 years have been (as if we'll ever forget).

[fairyduster]

42. I was also lucky enough to see it

the first day it came out. When I saw everything packed into two hours, I was almost overwhelmed.

[EstimatedProphet]

33. I was absolutely enraged by the woman bystander at the end

who had the nerve to criticize the dead soldier's mother for not being happy about her son dying in Iraq. I wish there were a way to find out who that person was so that I could email her and tell her exactly what a heartless bitch she must be.

[Bake]

36. I saw it in the theater back in July, but buying the DVD tonight!

Once is not enough.

[alexisfree]

39. the Iraqi kids under the grovel got me to tears..

the random killings got me.I just stop the movie...when one of the soldiers said"the roof the roof is on fire!!""""what king of soldiers did America is making ? I know they are brain Wash but it was too much for me.. those soldiers should be home doing something more productive for their country. thank you bush for the trauma.
