剧情介绍
一部记述伊拉克战争前后美国情势的纪录片。美国因何成为恐怖分子的袭击目标？为何乐于卷入战争？乔治布什的政策与9•11事件的爆发有何联系？而他和本•拉登之间关系怎样演变至宿敌？片中用真实的历史场景，从某个侧面提供了一种解读方式。
除了关注美国国内，镜头也对准了伊拉克战场。厌倦了战争的美国士兵、被耻笑的伊拉克俘虏、饱受战乱之苦的当地人民，人人都在这场战争遭受着不同的痛苦和煎熬。美军家中的善良母亲，准备去前线服役的热血青年，都对布什的政策、对伊拉克战争，开始沉重的思考。 Following up on 'Bowling for Columbine', film-maker Michael Moore provides deep and though-provoking insights on the American security system, the level of paranoia, fear, uncertainty, false values and patriotism, which all combined together to set a stage for George W. Bush to launch a war on Iraq instead of focusing on getting the real culprit(s) behind the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. This documentary also focuses on how some Saudis were safely and secretly flown out of America while planes were ostensibly grounded after the attacks. Archived film footage, candid interviews with politicians, and an overall waste of public funds for a war that was initiated on false pretension to wit: a weapon of mass distraction - to take the focus away from the real enemy and get Americans glued to their TV sets to watch innocent Iraqis and Afghans getting killed. And a war that would eventually alienate the U.S.A. and it's citizens from almost every country on Earth.

【中国电影资料馆展映】胶片版。9/11看9/11，有点带感。不过本片内容实在不敢恭维，甚至让我哑然失笑。中国人很熟悉的老套阴谋论：美国总统勾结资本家财团，美帝打伊拉克为了石油。这点破事儿新闻联播环球时报不天天说么！再配上点恶心下作沾人血馒头的煽情，煽动性极强。10多年过去，只能当笑话看。这玩意能叫纪录片，《新闻联播》都能得格莱美奖了。让我想起在朝鲜看的纪录片《谁发动了朝鲜战争》，结论嘛自然是美帝和南朝鲜傀儡啦！
立场鲜明，选择性叙事、剪辑，但也确实把电影媒介的政治力量发挥到了相当水准。并没有局限于对布什的嘲弄，而是在更大的视野中反思人们的愚顽。这样的声音非常重要。
看得想睡觉
…………
昨天把911一切重新翻查了一下。看的很纠。哎。
是谁把金棕榈颁给他的，太有想法了
议员们是不会让自己孩子上战场的
那些相信所有的此类影片都是为特定政治集团服务的人注意了，中国有这样一群导演，他们看不到任何能为之服务的政治集团出现的希望，却仍然孜孜不倦地追寻着事实，不管你如何轻视他们
WARS FUCKED UP EVERYTHING
“一位爱国者就应该跟他的政府抗争，以保护他的国家”
爱国中年摩尔
揭秘小布什？？哈哈··
一个什么样的国家，能够拍出华氏911呢
这一切都是一场梦吗？影片犀利的纪录气格一度令我想及奥利弗·斯通的《刺杀肯尼迪》。伊拉克战争，打着和平旗号的另一种恐怖。迈克·摩尔大玩剪辑花招，直指政治事件的内核。怅然一幕：白发人送黑发人的痛楚。跟拍丧失儿子的女人莱拉，全身心的立场投入。究竟有多少国会议员愿让自己的孩子去伊拉克？
我看过的第一部纪录片
