Desertman84 Celsius 41.11 is a political documentary made by Citizens United that would serve as a rebuttal and response to the highest grossing political documentary of all-time,Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11.The known conservative political organization that produced it tries to bring up 5 of the many charges against the former President George W.Bush that were presented in Moore's extremely popular documentary.In addition to that,it also brings up charges against John Kerry,the Democratic Party's presidential candidate for the 2004 U.S. General Elections against Bush as it was released during that particular year.The title was inspired about the temperature that the brain was suppose to die in Celsius according to the film's tagline.The film dealt with defense the five charges that was brought against incumbent President George W.Bush in Moore film are the following:Bush stole Florida during the 2000 General Elections,Bush didn't do enough to stop 9/11; Bush is stealing our civil liberties; Bush lied about WMDs; Bush Doctrine inflames Islamists.In addition to that,the military record of John Kerry was brought up particularly when he served during the Vietnam War.It brought neoconservatives such as Michael Ledeen, Fred Barnes, Charles Krauthammer and Michael Medved to discuss these issues.Interestingly,Terror expert Mansour Ijaz also discussed about the 9/11 incident. Too bad that watching this documentary today only proved how weak this documentary was as a whole and it would definitely look laughable and ridiculous as a counter-argument against Fahrenheit 9/11 despite bringing only five issues against it.Let's discuss the defense they brought in favor of the incumbent President briefly. First,it brought up that Bush won Florida in 2000 overwhelmingly and that the networks called the results early.But it never brought the fact that there were a lot of incidents of faulty counting machines used in areas that are known to be Democrats and how minority voters primarily African-Americans were intimidated and harassed from voting.This was reported in the media numerous times.Second,it brought up that former President Bill Clinton did not do enough to prevent terrorism during his 8-year term as President and presents many attacks that happened in the 90's.It also brings up Clinton's failure to capture Osama Bin Laden.Too bad that even Bush was unable to capture Bin Laden as well during his term and seems to forget that 9/11 happened during Bush's term and not during that of Clinton's.Then,it brings the issue of Bush is not stealing our civil liberties with the implementation of the Patriot Act during his term.The conservatives have full support for it.But looking back,many politicians - Democrats and most especially Republicans - have called for it revisions or better yet removal. Dinesh D'Souza's latest pro-right documentary,America:Imagine A World Without Her now even blames the Democrats for its implementation and that they use it against President Obama critics.Funny!!!!!!!!!!!Also,it brings up that Bush never lied about the existence of WMD's in Iraq by showing old videos of Saddam's stockpile and that he fooled U.N. inspectors.But Americans already know the truth after the definitive report made by CIA weapons investigator Charles A. Duelfer, which stated that IRAQ HAD NO WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!!!Again,we all know who is lying. LOLFinally,it tries to convince us that the Bush doctrine infuriates Islamic countries.Now,many Americans believe the war effort in the places like the Middle East is more or less useless just like the Iraq War and only benefits rich people with business interest in it rather than the whole country as a whole.As for Kerry's military record in Vietnam as well as his activism towards the war,another documentary entitled Going Upriver counters these charges.The said documentary proves that Kerry's experience in Vietnam made him realize that the U.S. war effort over there is a waste after seeing many of his comrades suffer and dies continuously.After pointing out what is wrong with information this documentary provides,another thing that would definitely bother the viewer is its blandness,lack of entertainment and lack of sense of humor.One would probably feel bored watching it.Overall,it only serves as a political ad for President George W.Bush and nothing more.No wonder it's title is Celsius 41.11 - the temperature the brain begins to die- considering that one's brain will definitely reach it while viewing this documentary. That is why avoid it at all cost!!!!!! LOL

movieman_kev Delving into 9/11, the war with Iraq, the sadly missed opportunity to nab Bin Laden, the 2001 elections, and the Patriot Act (not in that order), this documentary does bring up some good valid points, but at just around an hour or so it doesn't go into extreme detail on any of them. Nothing new can be gleamed from the film by anyone who follows politics. However it was competently made, if dry. Celsius 41.11 wasn't extremely slanted (for the most part, as the last 5 minutes or so plays out like a campaign ad, complete with smiling children & happy Americans basking in the sunshine of another 'terrorist free' day thanks to President Bush). If that propaganda ending was left out, and the film merely stuck to absolute facts, it would've made the whole production better.My Grade: C+

Krell-3 This is the Swiftboat Veterans for "Truth" equivalent in the theater. If you support president Bush then give your vote and money directly to his campaign - don't encourage this kind of boring unskilled propaganda and dirtfighting outside the appropriate arenas. Whats next? Amusementparks? Resorthotels? Moore is not popular (100.000.000USD+)because of his view - but because he is entertaining and skilled as a manipulator of sound and images in the context of ideas. Also please look at the comment made by the person before me - and you clearly see who this gospel is made for. If you do go and see it - do so after watching some Leni Riefenstahl movies first by the way and it will give you the scares!

guigsy_2137 I find it interesting to read people spewing hate at liberals while talking about how liberals spew hate. September 11 should have been about togetherness and peace. Everyone in the world considered themselves Americans that day and felt our pain. Instead it has been distorted into something else. The United States has not been more divided or less respected in the world in my lifetime. People on the left and the right are at each other's throats. I do consider myself liberal, and I enjoyed this movie as a response to Fahrenheit 911. It is important for me to see what conservatives think. I do not feel degrading anyone's point of view is pertanent to this argument.
