Celsius 41.11: The Temperature at Which the Brain... Begins to Die

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.

I am growing more and more disgusted by Conservatives by the day. It is becoming beyond ridiculous. First the Conservatives band together and trash one of the best political documentaries ever made, "Fahrenheit 9/11" as "treasonous, pro-terrorist, anti-American"; then when the real counterattack rears its head, with Conservatives attacking Moore personally and even trying to have him thrown in jail for telling the truth.... I don't know what planet Conservatives are living in, but I know I am living on planet Earth here, in America. I saw the writeup on "Celsius 41.11" (the temperature at which the brain starts to decay), and let me tell you, it affected me more than any other in film history. This was the most moronic, pigheaded, and libelous look at the conscience and effects of liberalism I have ever witnessed, and I must say, it touched me deep within and frightened me as to the dangers America is in if left in control of the Conservatives. Interesting how hypocritical Conservatives are("Say no for war... Unless a Republican is in power"; "If a dictator is anti-Communist, then I like that dictator" etc.); this is the sheer lunacy of Conservativism, the mindset of delusion, misguidedness, and insanity. We are living in one of the most important periods of survival and danger the world has ever witnessed, and it really helps to know that many of us (I suspect and hope, most of America) are still awake to the truths and realities of the world we live in, and how our spirit and determination can ultimately prevail over the gravest of odds. It's good to know there's a "Fahrenheit 9/11" for every "Celsius 41.11", and in my speculation, I would say the Conservatives tried to tarnish such an effort as this are delusional, running scared, and opponents and hypocrites to even their greatest defense, freedom of speech. I for one cannot wait until this highly biased film is relegated to the trashheap of ultra-rightwing media, another sad atrocity Conservatives, in their desperate and pathetic plight, have tried to tarnish "Fahrenheit 9/11" with.

I just came back from the theater after seeing this film on its

second day of showing. It is a very good movie that concisely

details why modern conservative philosophy dwarfs that of

contemporary liberalism, which has become virtually indistinguishable from Leftism.

After logging on to IMDb.com, I was not very surprised to find

15 reviews already posted, and many of the bad reviews came

from people who haven't seen the film, and 219 votes cast with an

average of 3.1. These ratings and reviews say much more about

the modern American Left than it does about the film. In the film

Chetwynd shows clips of antiwar protesters. They are a good

representation of the today's Left: mean, hate-filled, pompous and

narcissistic. And when they have no coherent arguments to bolster

their bigoted ideas, they do what all reactionaries do, resort to

name calling and, eventually, violence. After all, they are so much

smarter than us ordinary people. And what would we ever do

without them to tell us how moronic we and our president are?

As this movie points out, it is in fact Al Gore and the corrupt

Democratic party that attempted to steal the 2000 election. Michael

Moore has a habit of saying he feels bad for "stupid white men",

and even John McCain, because they don't understand that they

are on their way out, but it is the hate-filled Left that needs pity.

Although they would like it to be different, it is ordinary Americans,

not the university or Hollywood elite, who decide who will be the

President of The United States of America. And though Michael

Moore runs around in his t-shirt and baseball cap, and his phony

working class hero routine, claiming to speak for the American

people, he doesn't. He speaks instead for those who hate this

country and have only contempt for the ordinary people who will

vote George Bush in as president once again in a week and a half,

despite the attempts of the "we know better" Left to steal this

election too.

In this film several of those interviewed talked of George

Bush's belief in American exceptionalism. But this kind of talk only

irritates and even enrages those who hate and have contempt for

the values of middle America and its belief in American

exceptionalism. The elite in this country would prefer that we

dispense with heartland values and replace them with the smug

indifference of Western Europe, and the pretentious elitism of

Hollywood blowhards, like Michael Moore.

Unfortunately for those who try to diminish the power of this film

by stuffing the ballot box with fraudulent votes, there is a paradigm

shift afoot, and they are living in the world of yesterday, where they

could pretend to advocate great ideas like human rights while

doing little or nothing to help those dying in torture chambers and

those stuffed into mass graves. The truth comes out eventually

and the time has come, thanks in large part to George Bush, when

all with open minds can see clearly who really cares about the

oppressed in this world. The shift is occurring before our eyes,

and the American Left has nothing left to convince America of the

validity of their failed ideas. They have already compared George

Bush to Hitler and have said he stole the Presidency. What do they

have left? There is nothing more they can say or offer, accept vitriol

and defeatism. The only way they can win is to stuff the ballot box

like they have done on this site. Why? Because they don't trust the

American people to make up their minds for themselves.

With the help of films like this one, and the persistence of

George Bush, the lies of the hate-filled Left will be uncovered, one

by one, until those who promote those lies will be exposed for

what they are, nihilists who hate the values that America

represents, and can be found on any coin, "Liberty", "E Pluribus

Unum", and "In God We Trust".

"Celsius 41.11" is just one more nail in the coffin of the bad

ideas of Leftism. Leftist reactionaries are trying to hold back the

tide, but it is too late. I would advise Ted Kennedy, Jesse Jackson

and Michael Moore, in a last ditch effort to hold off progress, to

stuff themselves into Moore's limousine and barnstorm middle

America on behalf of John Kerry, pontificating to the people they

view as simpletons, about the evils of George Bush and the

America he represents. That should seal his fate and the fate of

the reactionary Left in this country. Then maybe the adults in the

Democratic party will come to their senses and make it the party of

Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman again, rather than the party

of Michael Moore.

If you're willing (gullible enough?) to buy into the Democratic propaganda machine, then you owe it to yourself to view the Republican's propaganda machine.

This film looks at Kerry's record, as well as delves into Michael Moore's history and addresses some of the blatant inconsistencies in Fahrenheit 9/11. This film is certainly biased, however they bring up interesting counter-points to Fahrenheit 9/11's arguments.

I encourage you to watch both movies and use your intelligence to discern what is fact and what is fiction. I'll leave that up to the viewer to decide, unlike the reviewer before me.

Has ANYONE actually seen this film or did the plot summary make people rush to vote for 10's and 1's?

Obviously it occurs all the time but it's never been more apparent than here. It's sad really, there's no doubt how many democrats have come here and how many republicans.

Please get over your biases, all of you. No, you too. Saying Fahrenheit 9/11 is the worst movie you've ever seen and this movie's TRAILER the most captivating you've ever seen is not in any conceivable way objective and it discredits you from ever using the phrase, "you damn liberals".

Please, WATCH a movie before making up your mind about it, Michael Moore is not the only one who's permitted to make critical documentaries. At the same time, praising(or reversely, insulting) a movie you haven't seen just because it caters/doesn't cater to your political ideology is not in your best interest.
