Appearance
Right wing
To me,this film seems like a personal hate tirade against Michael Moore and against the very thing the film claims it defends: freedom of speech and different opinions. The film does not go as far as exploring the issues Michael Moore brought up-but character assassinating the guy. The style Moore used IS debatable, however this is not thoroughly examined. The film copies Moores style however does not have anything new to offer. Reminds me of what they did to the Dixie Chicks. And where in the opinion polls are all these people now who defended the president, the war and patriotism.
this movie sucks
hello? hello, substance? are you there??? it was a nice try at a first documentary but this sucked big balls. i actually wanted to see it because i hate Micheal Moore. and yes, i can say i hate Micheal Moore because i have seen all of his movies, tv shows, and read all of his books. and MM is just a socialist who wouldn't know economics if it was edible. and i can come up with several instances that he has used fallacies, red herrings, double speak, etc.p.s. i usually don't write a lot of reviews but don't buy this...i even regret downloading this.
Pure Garbage
If you believe Michael Moore hates America, this is for you. For anyone with any intelligence, this is not worth the cost of a dvd rental.
FINALLY!
Something that exposes Moore for what he does best: manipulating the facts!! A refreshing take on this hypocritical, opportunistic liar! A slap in the face for all of the mindless robots who just eat up everything this guy says without question!!Good show!
Eye-opening account
This book is an eye-opening account of the defeat of the April, 1961 U.S. invasion of Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. Jose Ramon Fernandez, the commander of the Cuban armed forces at Playa Giron, the scene of the invasion explains step by step how the recently formed militias of Cuban workers and peasants vanquished a 1500 strong mercenary force backed by the U.S. military. He reveals key decisions that were made by the Cuban central command, for example, the decision to send the small Cuban airforce to bomb the U.S. supply ships stranding and demoralizing the landing units. The book contains an inciteful speech by Fidel Castro which helps to explain how the U.S. government not only conceived and gave birth to the invasion but then denied paternity. As with other Pathfinder books, this one has deeply revealing photos, maps, illustrations, glossary and chronology. You'll have a hard time putting the book down.
Read til the Sun went down
I first read this book the first day of beach season. Instead of spending time in the water, I just sat there and read this book until it was too dark to read. This account is an activist account of the fight from Cuban and US fighters who see and saw the US invasion and resistance in Cuba and the United States not as history to be deciphered but part of an ongoing struggle against imperialism, against war, and for the power of working people. I never stopped caring; I never stopped seeing what was hidden from me in 1961, I never stopped seeing lessons for the future. A good read.
