The controversial documentary film Loose Change attacks the ideal of the terrorist attacks of 9/11, focusing on the concept surrounding the united state government’s potential role in the “terrorist” attacks. First of all, the documentary confronts the American citizens’ assumption that the attacks on September eleventh were solely a result of brutal terrorism. Also, this documentary tries in great detail to alter the American citizens’ opinions of their government. Finally, it is an overwhelming attempt to get a raise out of the American people and motivate them to act and question the practices and actions of the American government. Loose Change attempts to make the audience re-comprehend the events of September eleventh and open their eyes to the director’s ideas of government conspiracy.
The automatic assumption of the American citizens was that the attacks on September 11th 2001, were a result of terrorists actions and that we must combat such actions with a war on terror. Firstly, Loose Change attempts to have the audience view the terrorist attacks as a result of our own government’s actions and provides “facts” that support an idea that it was an attack on our country by our own government. Also, it pick’s apart our government’s actions afterwards and forces the audience to look deeper into the government’s ability to react to terrorizing and difficult situations that have a large impact on the entire country. In addition to these two things, Loose Change exploits the government’s inability to provide the American public with valid and detailed information regarding events that impacted thousands of lives. As with many other nation impacting events, such as hurricane Katrina, this documentary reveals to the audience the flaws in our government and especially illuminates the government’s inability to respond quickly to destructive events.
Loose Change’s attempt to motivate the American population into questioning the actions of our government in response to the terrorist attacks is a crucial defining concept of a documentary. They lead us to question response time when they bring up the topic of the army’s fighter jet’s inability to respond and intercept the hijacked flights. Also, they highlight the government’s poor security by revealing the information regarding the terrorist’s location in the United States prior to the attacks on September eleventh. Finally, they force us to question the government’s involvement when they reveal the benefits our government would gain with a war on terror, as it gives them reason to investigate any citizen for any reason that could lead to terrorism. Getting the American people to question government action could arguably be the main focus point of the documentary Loose Change.
The creation of a documentary is a result of one thing, the desire to force the audience to think of another point of view that is most likely different from their own, and this is done by Loose Change. It opens the American public’s eyes to the government’s actions surrounding September eleventh. Also, it attempts to change our opinions of those responsible for the terrorist attacks. Lastly, it motivates the American people to entertain the idea that the events of the last nine years are a result of our own government’s bid to gain control of our simplest freedoms and plunge us into a “war on terrorism” that gives our nation direct access to the natural resources of the countries in the Middle East. Loose Change may challenge the pride citizens have in our nation, but it provides insight into a very believable theory of the events of September 11th 2001.
