DC 9/11: Time of Crisis

Was it supposed to be a comedy? The melodrama is reminiscent of the original Star Trek series, but not as believable. This pathetic work of fiction is an attempt to manipulate the uneducated and unmotivated American.

I love my country, but American politics is a filthy game. I tried to watch the whole movie, but by the time I got halfway through it, I really couldn't put up with the continued assault on my intelligence. I must force myself to sit through the last half, though I'm sure it is no more factual than the first half.

Farenheit 9/11, by Michael Moore is biased, but verifiable. DC 9/11: Time of Crisis, is a fallacious farce. Some of us are ready for the truth. Is it out there?

I have, finally, finished watching this film. I will never torture myself with it again.

Thank God for Lionel Chetwynd, because it means there is at least one filmmaker in Hollywood with enough sanity to deviate from the radical garbage of Michael Moore and his documented lies to just tell the truth about what happened on 9/11, which shows the courageous and effective response of our national leaders to the greatest tragedy in American history.

Liberals who want to carp about a film that dares to show a positive depiction of President Bush have been pampered for years with fawning (and often not always accurate) portrayals of Democrat presidents in action (see the well-done "Missiles Of October" and the awful "Thirteen Days" for instance) that it speaks volumes to their general sense of intolerance to throw fits over a film that dares to show a positive depiction of a Republican president in action.

But unlike liberal movies with their indulgence for hate-filled conspiracy rhetoric about conservatives and Republicans, there are no cheap shots thrown at Democrat politicians in this film. Sure, we hear talk about "changes in policy" but there are no direct digs at Bill Clinton which Chetwynd easily could have done. The intent, like "The Missiles Of October", is to recreate how our leaders acted in a time of crisis, and in that respect he succeeds brilliantly just like "The Missiles Of October" did for the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The performances are outstanding. Timothy Bottoms nails W. down perfectly as do the rest of the cast (although I didn't think Lawrence Pressman quite got Dick Cheney). It's enough to make you at times think you're listening in on the real events as they unfolded.

Bravo Lionel Chetwynd for providing people who understand the facts about 9/11 and President Bush for giving us a welcome antidote to the mountains of filth from the likes of Michael Moore and other self-hating Americans.

An attempt at a fairly accurate portrayal of the President and his stadd in the days following the 9-11 attack.

I was impressed with the characterisations, and found some sections to be quite moving.

This is a much more accurate portrayal than Farenheit 9-11, which I'm told, contains many factual errors and more artistic license ( its crap in other words)

It's easy to see why certain people are blasting this film , but those people with so much unreasonable dislike for Bush will never be convinced , i prefer to be more objective and cannot see anything i really dislike about him

My condolences to all those who lost their lives that terrible day

If you are an arrogant American "we are the best" head-in-the-sand redneck who can not accept that the American government has been involved in funding and training terrorists for decades and is, at least, partly responsible for what has happened, you are going to love this film.

For the rest of us we just have to stand back in awe at the stupidity of the people who believe this to be true and unbiased.

9-11 has produced a raft of films and documentaries..

The John Pilger documentaries http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0683400/ are really hard hitting asking challenging questions about the whole middle east issue.

The documentary by Micheal Ruppert is equally outlandish in it's claims around 9-11 as this film (only in the other direction) and just about as true.

Probably the most verifiyable information comes from Noam Chomsky http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0159008/ Distorted Morality http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361959/combined provides a deluge of facts to support clear arguments around the issues. However facts are pretty boring, the film is footage of university lectures, shot with one camera from one place and it is really hard work to watch, but probably the one film that is most reliable in terms of facts. The Power and the Terror http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338357/combined is more palatable if you can't face the heavy style of Distorted Morality

Moore produced a film that got attention, I don't think it has the best facts, the best arguments but it was well made and well promoted.

Balance is a key to understanding, all these films need to be questioned and it is good and healthy that we question them. But you need to have seen a variety from across the board to really get a feel for what the truth might be.
