Why We Fight

Plot Summary for Why We Fight (2005)

He may have been the ultimate icon of 1950s conformity and postwar complacency, but Dwight D. Eisenhower was an iconoclast, visionary, and the Cassandra of the New World Order. Upon departing his presidency, Eisenhower issued a stern, cogent warning about the burgeoning "military industrial complex," foretelling with ominous clarity the state of the world in 2004 with its incestuous entanglement of political, corporate, and Defense Department interests.

A review:

This Is The Documentary Americans Aren't ALLOWED To See..., 8 April 2005
10/10
Author: truthmissile from United States

First thing - EVERY single American SHOULD and MUST see this movie.

This how we are perceived in other parts of the world. It was aired unedited on the BBC in the UK. You WILL NEVER see this aired on American TV. Got that? The most Free Nation on Earth will allow to see the most disgusting pornography and violent images you can imagine, but if you want to know the TRUTH about our Foreign Policy and the War Machine that runs it? Forget about it!

If you want to see men in power like John McCain, Dan Rather, Richard Perle, etc tell the truth about what they think about Iraq, the Military Industrial Complex you MUST see this movie.

It changed my life. I can now see how this country is run, by and for whom, from a far more realistic, objective place - and that's why every crooked, misguided, corrupt troglodyte will tell you not to see WHY WE FIGHT by Eugene Jarecki. You're an American, see it and make up your own mind!

I love America and want to do something to improve the way our hard earned taxpayer money is spent. And how we as Americans are viewed around the world.

now it's your turn!

The most thought provoking film of all time, 2 January 2000

Author: bigdgun (bigdgun@mindspring.com) from Central California


This is just possibly the most "perfect" movie ever made. There is no meaningless dialog; not a single extraneous character; and every plot twist is rational and reasonable. Not to mention a superb soundtrack. Because of the intense violence, particularly against women, it is a disturbing and difficult film to sit through. But if you care about the cinema, you must watch without interruption! Characters get what they deserve...in the beginning and at the climax. Let Kubrick take you on the emotional rollercoaster of your cinematic life. And don't forget to breathe.
