6/10
Interesting But Typical Moore Documentary

I saw "Fahrenheit 11/9", starring-and directed by-Michael Moore, the documentary specialist that also directed Fahrenheit 9/11 & Bowling For Columbine. The title of the movie is a take on one of his other films, Fahrenheit 9/11, with the numbers being switched to indicate the date-11/9/16-that Donald Trump was declared the winner and new President. Most of the movie goes through the process of his election but Michael also covers a few other topics. One being the lead pollution in the water system of Flint, Michigan. Another is the gun violence and how teens are rallying and speaking up about more gun controls being instituted. He also covers teachers and how they are underpaid. Although Trump is his main target-at one point, a film is shown of Hitler doing a speech but Trump's voice is dubbed over it-he does go after other political figures such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. If you have seen any of Michael's other documentaries, you pretty well know his style-he does pull a few stunts to exaggerate his point, like trying to make a citizen's arrest of a political figure. There are a few interesting points made but basically, it's a typical Moore documentary. It's rated "R" for language, disturbing material and images and has a running time of 2 hours 8 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would be alright as a rental.
