while i haven't seen the film, my reading of press surrounding it (especially an LA Times piece on the wires today) suggests that Moore uses the film to reinterpret the recent history of the present administration with a spin counter to what we have been seeing from the mainstream media and the administration itself.
regardless of the direction of that spin, that seems like a good idea and as a nation that claims to cherish freedom, to be threatened by anyone doing that is counter intuitive. dismissing Moore's statements without seeing them first hand and judging for oneself means you have only bought completely into the establishment spin already.
instead of categorically dismissing either - embrace challenge, see F911 and MMHA and then do your own research into the issues they are concerned with. the "trutch" - and truth is merely a subjective means on how you yourself choose to interpret reality - will lie somewhere in between.
read and see everything with a healthy grain of skepticism and be sure to qualify your sources. don't be a sheep for either side.
