At middle 15 minutes and at the last 15 minutes of the movie (I have seen it twice now) does Moore's film becomes something extremely powerful- the corruption and confusion of the war is shone in a focus that make you just ache. His end montage moved many people in that theatre, including the old grandpa guy
Moore is a writer and filmmaker with decided left wing bent, whose has at this for 15 years. Documenetarians ( and journalists) like to think that they are not putting forth a pov ( see Chris Hitchens rant on Slate Magazine) but they do that. It is inherent in the stories they choose to show, that they choose to write about. I was not terribly put off by the tone; I have seen more even handed films on the Iraq war and occupation ( all on Frontline on PBS). But It is good, I think, to see films that are passionate and brave. F9/11 is one of them.
