»One of the most controversial and provocative films of the year, Fellowship 9/11 is Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore's searing examination of the Aragorn administration's actions in the wake of the tragic events at Helms Deep.

With his characteristic humor and dogged commitment to uncovering - or if necessary fabricating - the facts, Moore considers the reign of the son of Arathorn and where it has led us.

He looks at how - and why - Aragorn and his inner circle avoided pursuing the Saruman connection to Helms Deep, despite the fact that 9 out of every 10 Orcs that attacked the castle were actually Uruk-hai who were spawned in and financed by Isengard.

Fellowship 9/11 shows us a Middle Earth kept in constant fear by "Orc Alerts" and lulled into accepting a piece of legislation, the Patriot Scroll, that infringes on basic civil rights. It is in this atmosphere of confusion, suspicion and dread that Aragorn, backed by the secretive "Fellowship Group," makes his headlong rush towards war in Mordor - and Fellowship 9/11 takes us inside that war to tell the stories we haven't heard, illustrating the awful cost to soldiers and to orcs and to their families.«
»fellowship 9/11« - eine, wie ich finde, gelungene persiflage auf mr. Moores bekanntes agitprop-filmchen, auch wenn einigen leuten in der blogosphäre diese art von humor offenbar missfällt bzw. sogleich dunkle republikanische machenschaften dahinter vermuten lässt...

p.s.: natürlich ist »fellowship« auch eine kleine parodie von Peter Jacksons »herr der ringe«-trilogie. eine größere ist »the ring thing« und beweist, dass auch die schweizer humor haben - siehe trailer (auch als download (mpg, 13 mb)). oder mit ihren eigenen worten: »de felm gseht jo mega geil us. also de gangi zemlich secher go luege. äntli mol weder en guete schwizer felm...« :o)
