Fahrenheit 9/11

This is an article from Ejumpcut written by Nicole Laskowski. The article starts out at the 2003 Oscars when Michael Moore won for best documentary. In his speech he bashes on Bush and his whole cabinet. Then it goes into some background info of Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. Then Nicole gets into the theme and meaning of the movie in an argumentative way. In this part of the essay, Nicole compares Michael's earlier work with Fahrenheit 9/11. The nest part of the article talks about the montage technique that Moore uses to convey a points. Nicole uses two examples from the movie to support her claim. Nicole then goes on to specif techniques such as melodrama to support and even exagerate his theme of the movie. He does this by talking more to the people, US citizens, than political figures. By doing this he is able to connect what is shown in the documentary to the people watching it.
