Moore has stated numerous times, both in articles I've read and interviews that
I've seen--
F451 is the temperature at which paper burns--the book is about supression of
literature
F9/11 is the 'temperature' at which 'freedom' burns--9/11, and the subsequent
'fallout', according to Moore, is about suppression of freedom by the very
people who should be protecting it.
Whether he makes the link between F451 and 9/11 in the movie I do not know for I
haven't seen it yet. For me, the 'bruahaha' regarding F9/11 is more about
people critiquing a movie they haven't seen yet.
"Pack o 'lies!!"
Have you seen it?"
"Well, no, but my <insert figurehead here> has and s/he says so!" or "I heard
what's in it and it's all wrong!"
Now I'm all for not seeing movies that I probably wouldn't enjoy. There isn't
enough money in the 'verse to get me to see a horror movie. The genre has no
appeal to me at all. That said, I wouldn't start letter writing campaigns or
start picket lines out in front of theatres to prevent others from seeing them.
To each his or her own, I guess.

| (...) Hmmm, seems this case is different. Perhaps because MM choose it for his title. I'm sure I'd have a difficult time starting up a department store chain called "Wall to Wall Mart", or a toy company called "Lay-Go" There is a definite connection (...)
