I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
A different way of telling a story
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
A very biased take on this important subject. The Patriot Act is a very troubling law that deserves attention and debate, however this is another one of those instances where those on one side of the political aisle sees an opportunity to push their ideology at the expense of reasoned argument
A must see, especially for conservatives who never took the time to understand where this was all going because they were too busy panicking over the next terrorist attack. They've invalidated the Constitution in the name of fear. Lets hope the majority will wake up and smell the coffee someday. I read the released version of the patriot act, and it is at least what is depicted in this documentary.Yes, this documentary has spin, but so do school text books.The fact is there is no reason to go without civil liberties for citizens when very few citizens have ever been detained for terrorist activities using the partriot act.
This movie is disturbing because it is purely factual and it documents insidious activities (carried out by the Bush administration) that are taking place this very second in a country that claims to support "freedom." People are being detained without any access to family or legal representation and they haven't even been charged with any crime. People's privacy is being trampled all over as the government secretly searches library records, e-mail conversations, phone records, etc. without notifying people. The government is infiltrating peace groups...the list goes on. See this movie and find out how your civil liberties are in serious danger.
This movie shows the truth behind the bush presidency, in certain ways more scary than "Farenheit 9/11". It shows John Ashcroft in his true colours. And the truth about what really happened to the "detainees". This fairly homemade movie is very compelling when it comes to the issue of the patriot act, which is also very scary. I now hate the bush presidency more than ever. If you have a chance to see this movie, you really should, it is very informative. I saw the premiere of this movie in Wisconsin, so I have been looking for it for a while on IMDb. I have to say I would give it:For Informativity: 5 out 5For Entertainment:4 out 5Over All: 4 out of 5
