Movie Reviews of Uncovered - The Whole Truth About the Iraq War
Movie Review: Not the Truth and Whole Truth
Summary: 2 Stars
Greenwald does an excellent job of helping the CIA cover their tracks. He puts together a lot of how's as to US military involvement in Iraq, but it doesn't get into more whys, and it doesn't uncover much of the darker reasons. It doesn't cover anything about Iranian/US/European/Russian relations, Iranian interests throughout the region, Saudi/US/European relations, nothing about China's subtle influences, not much about non-state actors (he does a different expose of mostly one, KBR, in another work of his...
The topic of Israel's existence and my opinion notwithstanding, the preservation of the State of Israel may be the number one reason coalition forces are in Iraq, and access to oil for Europe number 2 since they rely on Middle Eastern oil about 3 times more than the US. Since these topics aren't covered very much, Greenwalds works don't really shed much light on what we don't already know. It's put together pretty well, though. I mean, I have a friend whose little brother is a senior at a small town high school that does videos about as well as this. It probably took more time getting that huge cast (way over the top-he protesteth too much) of credible folks to cover up for the CIA and UN weapons inspectors. Maybe those guys should have made their voices more loudly and clearly heard when the Bush team was making it's pitch for war in Iraq...before those hundreds of thousands of Iraqis were killed, millions displaced, and so many US military lives have been lost to date (and as of the posting of this, we're still not out). Nice timing.
Movie Review: Stunning, sad, upsetting, honest, shocking
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing I can say that the other 4 and 5 star reviews have not already said.
This documentary interviews the actual people who were in the U.N. weapons inspections and counter proliferation teams. The people that actually went into Iraq and checked for WMDs. Listen to what they have to say and prepare to be disgusted by the administration of King George.
Movie Review: Blow's Michael Moore's stint under the water
Summary: 4 Stars
This film entails all the facts which still for a large part, elude the American people about the leadup to the Iraq War. Michael's Moore's populist tirades and appeal to pacifism in his Farenheit 9/11 film are merely a distraction from the hard cold lies that the Bush administration told, which are the main reason we should remain outraged. . This film is a case for impeachment, though the opportunity for that case has perhaps been passed. But it's never too late to get history straight. Movie Review: OK, except that it doesn't uncover much.
Summary: 2 Stars
If I hadn't been waking on my treadmill burning calories while I watched this, it might have been a total waste of time. I saw film clips which I've seen before being commented on by, and I'll admit, a good number of people who seemed very qualified to do so.
The problem is, it really didn't "uncover" much. It was more like a review of the events leading up to the Iraq war with very little in the way of startling revelations, unless you didn't watch the news at all during this time period.
I came away from it thinking that what the film does best is make a good case that President Bush is the one who believed lies about the situation in Iraq, and based on those alleged lies, led the US into war. And, at least it put some actual names and faces with the term "neocon". So, those neocons aren't just mythical figures that exist only in liberal paranoid fantasies; they've actually got some people they identify as "neocons".
So, to this documentary is much better for review than revelation, and if you've got limited time to spend watching documentaries about the war in Iraq, I'd suggest something a little more recent.
