Abaixo segue uma movie review feita pela BBC. Complete o texto com os tempos verbais corretos para que vc possa entendê-lo e apreciá-lo.
Controversial documentary-maker Michael Moore’s intensely political new film, Fahrenheit 9/11, was screened for the world’s media at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday.
Disney 1.refuse________________ to release this film, other distributors also seem reluctant and – if Moore is to be believed – the White House 2.want________________ to stop it being seen.
The reason is if viewers take the film at face value, they will think George Bush is a fraudulent and possibly corrupt president who 3.go________________ to war in Iraq because of a half-baked motivation of grudge, greed and thirst for power.
But this is a Michael Moore film and, while that does not mean he is wrong, it must 4.be________________ with a critical eye.
Moore wants Bush removed from office.
He is determined to have this film released before the US presidential election in November for that very reason.
Chilling
The film’s conclusions 5.reach________________ through a mixture of firm evidence, interesting information, moving scenes and tenuous theories.
Starting with the presidential election in 2000, it firmly plants the idea that Bush’s election – thanks to just 537 votes in Florida – was not exactly free and fair.
The first conspiratorial link 6.come________________ when he identifies the Fox News Channel employee who took the decision to report that Bush had won Florida on election night – when all other channels were reporting an Al Gore win – as Bush’s first cousin.
If true, it is an interesting piece of trivia – but hardly proof of a family plot to steal the presidency.
He 7.introduce________________ 11 September with a blank screen and chilling audio of planes hitting the Twin Towers and the cries of those on the ground.
Moore also has footage of Bush sitting in a school classroom, reading a children’s book with pupils, for more than 10 minutes after being told the second plane had hit.
The film-maker 8.say________________ this full footage had not been seen before because no-one 9.ask________________ the teachers at the school whether they had captured it on camcorder.
One of Moore’s chief accusations is Bush 10.allow________________ planes to pick up 24 members of the Bin Laden family and fly them out of the US in the days following the attacks – when all other aircraft were grounded.
To back this up, he shows a document that seems to list them – and uses it as a base from which to explore the relationships between the Bush and Bin Laden dynasties.
Emotional interviews
All the while, persuasive army recruiters 11.follow________________ as they try to sign up young people in Moore’s deprived hometown of Flint, Michigan.
So Moore 12.go________________ to Washington to try to persuade Congressmen to send their children to Iraq – the son of only one Congressman is in service there, Moore says.
Moore himself 13.appear________________ less in this film than he has in his previous documentaries, leaving most of the talking to politicians, soldiers, parents, experts and assorted real Americans.
There is highly selective editing, but the story is not totally one-sided. For example, there are soldiers in Iraq who believe in their mission, as well as those who say they are disillusioned.
But the movie’s conclusions – true or otherwise – and highly emotional interviews with bereaved parents and injured soldiers 14.have________________ a big impact on audiences around the world.
