This is a comment I left at Hello Dita:

Saw [Fahrenheit 9/11] yesterday while in Charlottetown for the weekend. Wow. Even though I had already read everything that was presented in the movie, it was still very jarring to see it all threaded together and presented at the same time.

The audience applauded at the end, which is something I had only seen at a movie a few times before.

The most amazing part was showing the level of cognitive dissonance many americans have, with the woman in Washington insisting that the protestor and Lia sharing their emotions of loss was "staged". She didn't believe that someone could actually be feeling something negative about this war and just assumed it was a lie, which is the opposite of what's true, with the rosy wonderful picture being the real lie.
