"但願"Fahrenheit 9/11"的受注目及成功,不會是Michael Moore 心志腐化的開始. "
我從Bruhlmeier的文字以及念到的影評中猜想，Moore在"Fahrenheit 9/11"使用了大量操縱觀眾情緒的形式, 悖離正統紀錄片甚遠。
詭異的是，拍紀錄片出身的Herzog很早就用個人的強烈加入影片訪問來煽動受訪者的反應，作為"紀錄片"根本不可能是"客觀"的一種諷刺。
當然Herzog的對象是特殊小人物，而他的目標具有哲學辯證的意義，對於911這樣重大的議題，導應在事情就先聲明自己是以"劇情片導演"或"新聞片導演"的身份在處理這些資料, 才算是對社會負責任的態度罷!

>>我看 Fahrenheit 9/11 後感想... bruhlmeier 2004/07/09 19:49
認識 Michael Moore 是看了他上一部奧斯卡得?R記錄片:【反槍械《科倫拜恩的保齡》Bowling for Columbine 】這是一部令人激賞、極具幽默反諷、批評美國有關好戰、治安、個人持槍...等?V題的記錄片.它是深得B認同的一部很有憫人關懷的影片!! (B記得好像曾介紹過這部電影,可是在自己B棧卻查尋不到？)
July 7 星期三晚上,和伴一同去看Michael Moore 新推出的記錄片電影:華氏9/11 = Fahrenheit 9/11. 當天是瑞士法語區的首映日,幸虧上午己先上網購票,因我??雖早到影院半小時,21:30當場的票卻早己售光. 看完2個多小時的記錄片,出了影院已是凌晨時分. 昨天很想下筆寫一點個人心得,但我發覺自己必須沈澱一下才好動筆.....
Michael Moore 製片的記錄及採訪的手法似乎很溫和,但反諷刺的編輯術卻極辛辣. 對於他提出Bush家族與Ben LaDen + 沙烏地阿拉伯皇室 (大陸翻譯=沙特) 之政商利益關係,及推動戰爭的動機...很令人值得深思及以司法追探究境!!! 想想為什麼絕大多數的阿拉伯世界反美？為什麼多數的歐洲人,對美國政府的行事風格不敢苟同？一般美國人的自大(沈醉於當世界警察)、天真(不了解美國境外的世局)及被媒體輕易操縱的無知...是否該有所覺醒？
另外, 影片中用剪接方式醜化W.Bush,及一位女士哭究要自己的兒子志願從軍,而後他卻死在伊拉克的遣責過程...B認為有失公正.這相對的減低影片例舉事實攻擊Bush的說服力.因而打了它一大折扣.B深覺這部記錄片拍得沒有Bowling for Columbine出色！但願Fahrenheit 9/11的受注目及成功,不會是Michael Moore 心志腐化的開始.
B試著上google查Fahrenheit 9/11的中文資料.很驚恐的發現:我??聲稱不民主的大陸,竟然有多得看不完的文字介紹與批評.反觀臺灣的網站卻一點訊息都沒有？扁政府怕臺灣人反Bush、反美嗎？還是臺灣人封蔽？竟然對這部嬴得法國崁城影展大?R的影片一無所悉？！
下列是B節錄自網路Fahrenheit 9/11的文字介紹,供大家參考:
Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett had told CNN that This is a film that doesn't require us to actually view it to know that it's filled with factual inaccuracies.
Michael Moore: At least they're consistent. They never needed to see a single weapon of mass destruction before sending our kids off to die.

>>1st week with Fahrenheit 9/11 / M.M. bruhlmeier 2004/07/07 14:04
Friends,
Where do I begin? This past week has knocked me for a loop. Fahrenheit 9/11 the #1 movie in the country, the largest grossing documentary ever. My head is spinning. Didn't we just lose our distributor 8 weeks ago? Did Karl Rove really fail to stop this? Is Bush packing?
Each day this week I was given a new piece of information from the press that covers Hollywood, and I barely had time to recover from the last tidbit before the next one smacked me upside the head:
** More people saw Fahrenheit 9/11 in one weekend than all the people who saw Bowling for Columbine in 9 months.
** Fahrenheit 9/11 broke Rocky III’s record for the biggest box office opening weekend ever for any film that opened in less than a thousand theaters.
** Fahrenheit 9/11 beat the opening weekend of Return of the Jedi.
** Fahrenheit 9/11 instantly went to #2 on the all-time list for largest per-theater average ever for a film that opened in wide-release.
How can I ever thank all of you who went to see it? These records are mind-blowing. They have sent shock waves through Hollywood – and, more importantly, through the White House.
But it didn't just stop there. The response to the movie then went into the Twilight Zone. Surfing through the dial I landed on the Fox broadcasting network which was airing the NASCAR race live last Sunday to an audience of millions of Americans -- and suddenly the announcers were talking about how NASCAR champ Dale Earnhardt, Jr. took his crew to see “Fahrenheit 9/11” the night before. FOX sportscaster Chris Myers delivered Earnhardt’s review straight out of his mouth and into the heartland of America: “He said hey, it'll be a good bonding experience no matter what your political belief. It's a good thing as an American to go see.” Whoa! NASCAR fans – you can’t go deeper into George Bush territory than that! White House moving vans – START YOUR ENGINES!
Then there was Roger Friedman from the Fox News Channel giving our film an absolutely glowing review, calling it “a really brilliant piece of work, and a film that members of all political parties should see without fail.” Richard Goldstein of the Village Voice surmised that Bush is already considered a goner so Rupert Murdoch might be starting to curry favor with the new administration. I don't know about that, but I’ve never heard a decent word toward me from Fox. So, after I was revived, I wondered if a love note to me from Sean Hannity was next.
How about Letterman’s Top Ten List: “Top Ten George W. Bush Complaints About 'Fahrenheit 9/11':
10. That actor who played the President was totally unconvincing
9. It oversimplified the way I stole the election
8. Too many of them fancy college-boy words
7. If Michael Moore had waited a few months, he could have included the part where I get him deported
6. Didn't have one of them hilarious monkeys who smoke cigarettes and gives people the finger
5. Of all Michael Moore's accusations, only 97% are true
4. Not sure - - I passed out after a piece of popcorn lodged in my windpipe
3. Where the hell was Spider-man?
2. Couldn't hear most of the movie over Cheney's foul mouth
1. I thought this was supposed to be about dodgeball
But it was the reactions and reports we received from theaters around the country that really sent me over the edge. One theatre manager after another phoned in to say that the movie was getting standing ovations as the credits rolled – in places like Greensboro, NC and Oklahoma City -- and that they were having a hard time clearing the theater afterwards because people were either too stunned or they wanted to sit and talk to their neighbors about what they had just seen. In Trumbull, CT, one woman got up on her seat after the movie and shouted Let's go have a meeting! A man in San Francisco took his shoe off and threw it at the screen when Bush appeared at the end. Ladies’ church groups in Tulsa were going to see it, and weeping afterwards.
It was this last group that gave lie to all the yakking pundits who, before the movie opened, declared that only the hard-core choir would go to see Fahrenheit 9/11. They couldn't have been more wrong. Theaters in the Deep South and the Midwest set house records for any film they’d ever shown. Yes, it even sold out in Peoria. And Lubbock, Texas. And Anchorage, Alaska!
Newspaper after newspaper wrote stories in tones of breathless disbelief about people who called themselves “Independents” and “Republicans” walking out of the movie theater shaken and in tears, proclaiming that they could not, in good conscience, vote for George W. Bush. The New York Times wrote of a conservative Republican woman in her 20s in Pensacola, Florida who cried through the film, and told the reporter: “It really makes me question what I feel about the president... it makes me question his motives…”
Newsday reported on a self-described “ardent Bush/Cheney supporter” who went to see the film on Long Island, and his quiet reaction afterwards. He said, It's really given me pause to think about what's really going on. There was just too much - too much to discount. The man then bought three more tickets for another showing of the film.
The Los Angeles Times found a mother who had “supported [Bush] fiercely” at a theater in Des Peres, Missouri: “Emerging from Michael Moore's ‘Fahrenheit 9/11,’ her eyes wet, Leslie Hanser said she at last understood…. ‘My emotions are just....’ She trailed off, waving her hands to show confusion. ‘I feel like we haven't seen the whole truth before.’
All of this had to be the absolute worst news for the White House to wake up to on Monday morning. I guess they were in such a stupor, they gave Iraq back to, um, Iraq two days early!
News editors told us that they were being bombarded with e-mails and calls from the White House (read: Karl Rove), trying to spin their way out of this mess by attacking it and attacking me. Bush spokesman Dan Bartlett had told the White House press corps that the movie was outrageously false -- even though he said he hadn't seen the movie. He later told CNN that This is a film that doesn't require us to actually view it to know that it's filled with factual inaccuracies. At least they're consistent. They never needed to see a single weapon of mass destruction before sending our kids off to die.
Many news shows were more than eager to buy the White House spin. After all, that is a big part of what Fahrenheit is about -- how the lazy, compliant media bought all the lies from the Bush administration about the need to invade Iraq. They took the Kool-Aid offered by the White House and rarely, if ever, did our media ask the hard questions that needed to be asked before the war started.
Because the movie outs the mainstream media for their failures and their complicity with the Bush administration -- who can ever forget their incessant, embarrassing cheerleading as the troops went off to war, as though it was all just a game -- the media was not about to let me get away with anything now resembling a cultural phenomenon. On show after show, they went after me with the kind of viciousness you would have hoped they had had for those who were lying about the necessity for invading a sovereign nation that was no threat to us. I don't blame our well-paid celebrity journalists -- they look like a bunch of ass-kissing dopes in my movie, and I guess I'd be pretty mad at me, too. After all, once the NASCAR fans see Fahrenheit 9/11, will they ever believe a single thing they see on ABC/NBC/CBS news again?
In the next week or so, I will recount my adventures through the media this past month (I will also be posting a full FAQ on my website soon so that you can have all the necessary backup and evidence from the film when you find yourself in heated debate with your conservative brother-in-law!). For now, please know the following: Every single fact I state in Fahrenheit 9/11 is the absolute and irrefutable truth. This movie is perhaps the most thoroughly researched and vetted documentary of our time. No fewer than a dozen people, including three teams of lawyers and the venerable one-time fact-checkers from The New Yorker went through this movie with a fine-tooth comb so that we can make this guarantee to you. Do not let anyone say this or that isn't true. If they say that, they are lying. Let them know that the OPINIONS in the film are mine, and anyone certainly has a right to disagree with them. And the questions I pose in the movie, based on these irrefutable facts, are also mine. And I have a right to ask them. And I will continue to ask them until they are answered.
In closing, let me say that the most heartening response to the film has come from our soldiers and their families. Theaters in military towns across the country reported packed houses. Our troops know the truth. They have seen it first-hand. And many of them could not believe that here was a movie that was TRULY on their side -- the side of bringing them home alive and never sending them into harms way again unless it's the absolute last resort. Please take a moment to read this wonderful story from the daily paper in Fayetteville, NC, where Fort Bragg is located. It broke my heart to read this, the reactions of military families and the comments of an infantryman’s wife publicly backing my movie -- and it gave me the resolve to make sure as many Americans as possible see this film in the coming weeks.
Thank you again, all of you, for your support. Together we did something for the history books. My apologies to Return of the Jedi. We'll make it up by producing Return of the Texan to Crawford in November.
May the farce be with you, but not for long,
Michael Moore

華氏9117月在英美正式上映時,影評全部兩極化
負面的咒罵包括--簡化事實,不連貫,懶,笨
每日鏡報稱Moore為當代最佳紀錄片導演, 布希自取其辱, 太陽報說它是具很好娛樂片技巧的紀錄片
美國Daily Express 對於它攻擊布希政府給了"五星"
Daily Telegraph說它殘酷偏頗地呈現美國文化
或許Peter Bradshaw ( The Guardian)說得最接近實 "emotional, manipulative, brilliant and brazen". 它讓我想到荷索的紀錄片, 也忽然想起伍迪艾倫的"Hollywood Ending", 片中精神壓力變瞎了的導演,在好萊塢搞壞了的片子, 竟使他在歐洲揚眉吐氣!
