It is a good movie, although I am not sure how many of the awards were given for it&#8217;s politcal message, and not for it&#8217;s quality as a documentary. Not that I don&#8217;t agree with it&#8217;s message, and not that I don&#8217;t think awards shouldn&#8217;t be handed out for political reasons at all; as Sahra, one of the several people with whom I went to see the movie, said: it nicely fits all our expectations, stereotypes and judgements. I guess it will serve the purpose of making some people in the US not vote for Bush which, of course, is a Very Good Thing&#8482;.<br \/>\nI liked the beginning of the movie most, especially the way 9\/11 itself was portayed was excellent.
