Salt Lake Tribune gives Fahrenheit 9/11 3.5/4 stars.

[Sean Reynolds]

Thought I'd post the Salt Lake Treibune's Fahrenheit 9/11 review.



Pretty good:



SNIP:

In his best film yet, Michael Moore feels sympathy for the troops and anger at their commander-in-chief.
Rated R for some violent and disturbing images, and for language; 116 minutes.
Opening today at area theaters.

SNIP:

The most shocking thing about "Fahrenheit 9/11" is not what filmmaker Michael Moore reveals about President George W. Bush's financial ties to Saudi Arabia, or how Bush's administration used Sept. 11, 2001, as a pretext to fulfill neocon dreams of invading Iraq, or what atrocities Moore shows from the Iraq war -- from charred and strung-up American bodies to dead Iraqi children being pulled from rubble.
No, what shocks, after so much cable-TV coverage and half-baked punditry, is how much the unabashedly liberal Moore empathizes with the fighting men and women serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's that empathy that turns "Fahrenheit 9/11" from political documentary into one American's anguished cry for his fellow citizens to take action.

SNIP:

And, before you dismiss "Fahrenheit 9/11" as Moore's liberal rant, consider Lila Lipscomb. She lost her son, Michael Pedersen, when his Black Hawk helicopter went down in Iraq. She cries for her son, and does what politicians and reporters failed to do earlier -- she asks someone to tell the truth, behind the star-spangled rhetoric, about why young American men and women were sent away to die.

3. Wow Great review, especially considering it's from

Salt Lake which is not a liberal area.

4. Salt Lake City has a socialist mayor, I think.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe Salt Lake City's mayor is a Democratic Socialist. Anybody here from Salt Lake to confirm or correct me?
(edited to correct misspelling)

He was just re-elected in November of last year. :)
