Basically I can't help but let it affect my temper a little bit. I'm laid back about most issues. But, I know how much stock people put into movies. People often see the word documentary and assume it's true. Fact is, it's supposed to be true... or at least make an attempt at truth.
So if a propagandist, right or left, releases heavily opinionated material, marks it as Information, and people take it as gospel, there is a problem.
The films classification doesn't matter do you, raptor, because you're thinking for yourself. You understand what Fahrenheit is about, and you're aware of it's purpose. Anyone in LA can attest to the fact that the local media won't shut up about moore's "documentary". It reminds me how many people (how few) aren't thinking for themselves.
What happens if the KKK produces a "documentary"? Classification would matter a great deal. Extreme example, I admit. |
What the hell are you talking about? Everything that was in the film was based on fact.
Are you telling me the connections between the bin Laden's and Bush's is not fact? Are you telling me that the Taliban did not come to Texas to talk about the pipeline? Are you telling me people, such as the Saudis, did not benefit from 9/11? Are you telling me that major corporations and the American government (who is major corporations) are not going to benefit from Iraq?
Give me a break buddy. If a film was made by the KKK what facts can they base it off of? All they are about is hating black people. I don't see fact in that.
As much as Moore's documentary is biased, it is true. Anyone, right or left, can see this.
Tell me, if someone made a documentary about Hitler, how can they make it unbiased? You say "The holocaust was a terrible thing, many people were murdered" then on the other side of the spectrum, to make it unbiased, do you really say "Yeah, but the good things Hitler did were..."?
No, of course not.
