Its about the latest developments of Formula 1 racing coming out of the British Isles circa 1981. I'm really starting to dig F1 racing. And I sure do love the loving BBC :swoon: (and I'm an American).

These are incredibly interesting, especially the one about Czechoslovakia. I knew the other Warsaw Pact nations had invaded the country at some point, but I didn't know anything about the circumstances. So this might be a shot in the dark, but can anyone recommend a book (or even other documentaries) about The Prague Spring? Or even more generally, just about internal politics of Eastern Europe during the Cold War.

Very obscure documentary question!

I remember seeing a documentary on TLC or Discovery back in the mid 90's (I wanna say '95 or '96) about alien abduction. It was the first time I'd ever seen or heard anything about it and I remember it scaring the hell out of little ten-year-old me. Now, there are about a million alien docs out there now but this one was "hosted" by a woman with dark hair. I think it might have been Edith Fiore. It was mostly interviews with alleged abductees and it talked a ton about hypnosis. I remember it had frequent shots of a light bulb swaying in front of the camera.

I don't believe in any of that stuff anymore, but I remember it scaring the poo poo out of little kid SamLikesCake and I guess I want a nostalgia trip. I've looked all over the place for it with no luck. The problem is that there are a million and one UFO docs out there with similar names. Anyone remember this show, and have any idea what it was called?

The second episode "Brothers" is set in a Pakistani shipbreaking year. The photography is absolutely sublime.

quote:


In today’s technological age – is heavy manual labour disappearing or is it just becoming invisible?

Physical work was once celebrated with hymns of praise. But workers today must be content with encouraging one another that their hard work is better than no work at all.

This series looks at the state of physical work in today’s world. Work that is dreary, demanding and at time dangerous.

I remember seeing the preview for this. During the trailer, it looked like it was fine as focusing on Michael Moore as a false documentarian and the way he tends to make movies instead of documentaries. But instead it went off the deep end into "searching for the American dream" and looked instead like some right wing propaganda film.

Is that what it turns out to be?

WouldDesk
Dec 26, 2009
No, it turned out pretty good. Although the title suggest he will be making fun of Moore the entire film, it is nothing like that. He talks to people that have unwillingly been used in Moore's films as propaganda such as the bank featured in Bowling for Columbine , a soldier who lost both arms featured in Fahrenheit 9/11 , explaing that Moore flat out lied about growing up in Flynt, Michigan, and does interviews with other films makers. Penn Jillette and the filmmaker have a conversation that is shown in bits throughout also.

I enjoyed it, I also enjoy Moore's films (mainly Bowling) even if when watching you can tell what is edited. What the film does best is show how Michael Moore flat lies about how he said things were not edited, words were not cutout, and speeches were not pieced together in his films. Pretty amazing really that he just says "no, not edited :colbert:" even when proven wrong with evidence. It also shows that while Moore can demean and Slander others, when someone does it to him he turns into a child quite literally. He just yells at people and turns the argument on them. Nothing new from him but it is documented well here. Good watch whether you like Moore or not.

No, it does. It uses Penn and Teller as legit sources of 'real information' and basically after five minutes of 'his documentaries are pretty weak and very obviously goal based rather then objective (holy poo poo you mean the dude making Capitalism: A Love Story may not be 100% objective, thank you, right wing nobody, I almost had to read a title), it goes into a really pathetic just hit piece that isn't even based in much.

Like, it's one of those 'oh you do something I don't like, well how do YOU like it when I do it to YOU?! Yea that sure sucks huh?!' type things.

Make is a pretty lovely documentary himself, he's a generic crazy libertarian who's 'mom and pop media' business makes ads for right wing dudes and writes for Andrew Breitbart's assorted 'Big(whatever).com' sites. But it's ok for him, he loves America, and Michel More Hates America.

Calm down, you seem upset at a film. I would like to know where Teller was in the film he wasn't in it . And when you say "it goes into a really pathetic just hit piece that isn't even based in much", makes me think you flat out did not see the film or you just can not understand what is being shown. For example Moores use of the injured soldiers video, Moore showed the video but did not let the man talk. This is repeated over and over as the subjects used in Moore's films show proof that they were exploited and flat lied about in order for Moore to cut and paste to his liking.

I enjoyed films by Michael Moore understanding some of the material is skewed, this simply shows how it was skewed. Pasting video from multiple speeches and editing in it to one speech, and denying you did it despite proof is literally insane. And that is what it points out in en entertaining way :shobon: No need to hate on either filmmaker.

That was my point, they use nowhere near the same style, Moore took video of interviews and edited it to his liking without discussing it with the interviewee. Michael Wilson in this film finds those subjects and let's them directly respond to what happened. And he gives Moore opportunity after opportunity to give his input. Something Moore shy's away from. I agree Wilson acts a little childish at times but so does Moore, so does every documentary film maker to an extent. They all love themselves a bit much.

One thing I hated in MMHA is that he and the bank workers explained that Moore did not just show up and get a gun after opening an account in Michigan. There were many special circumstances and strings pulled so Moore could get it all on film. Moore lied to have all of this done, but I don't care, I enjoyed being all :stare: about him just going into a random bank, opening an account, then walking out with a rifle. I knew it was too good to be true but dammit it made a good film. I see it all as entertainment and they both do well at that goal.

I hated having the scene ruined, I was saying it tongue in cheek. I knew that the scene did not pan out how he portrayed it, knowing how he manipulated it all just made me upset.

As far as a documentary being truthful. This rarely happens. This is one of the few points I had drilled into my head in multiple film classes. Documentaries are inherently bias, and that bias often comes from funding sources. This is in general. What Moore and Wilson made as far as the two films in discussion, I do not consider documentaries.

To your point about Gasland, if I were to put up a list of best made/not bias documentaries it would be with the least biased first:

1. Restrepo type films where events are documented, subjects are not interviewed much at all, just documented.

2-4677. All others

4678. Gasland type trash where legitimacy simply does not exist. I will watch that debunking-gasland link, thanks for posting it.

You seem to focus on Moore about this than the "I love America" part.

I'm personally someone who knows that the scene where a girl sells him bullets in Canada was complete bullshit. Didn't happen at all. He never walked out of a Wal-Mart with Canadian bullets.

It's nice that a documentary exposes Michael Moore as a hack documentarian (is that the right word?) because he deserves. I think "Capitalism: A Love Story" was probably his best, but I wouldn't be surprised if his numbers were a little wacky in them. He's the worst possible spokesman for a left winger fearing corporations and government.

Yet everything I've seen and heard about "Michael Moore Hates America" tends to fit more to what shotgunbadger was saying in that it borderlines and sometimes crosses libertarian stupidity. I'm gonna watch it sometime next week but I have a feeling even with my low opinion of Michael Moore, I'm going to enjoy it as much as Expelled.

I don't like Moore at all, so it's cute how he went all 'ooooh you're mad about this huh', but really it's just a terrible movie.

Chickenhawk: it's pedos openly talking about their "boy love". It's pretty drat creepy to see how these guys think and how they don't believe that they're the ones in the wrong, just the poor abused victims of a repressive society that doesn't recognize children's rights to sexual freedom(puke). Yeah, we already know about that but to actually see it is something else. Typically, the film will show one of these pedos talking earnestly about their "boy love". Then the scene cuts to a distraught parent, sometimes on the verge of tears. One scene has a couple of kids talking about how one pedo was "weird".

Modern art derail reminded me of Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, which is on Netflix instant. Basquiat was a hell of a character; I'm pretty sure he was actually from outer space, and Julian Schnabel's biopic is underwhelming when compared to the real guy doing his thing. This documentary is full of great stuff about the downtown New York scene in the late 70s and early 80s, and worth watching just for that, but it also has a lot of footage of Basquiat actually making his glorious, insane paintings. Ultimately it's about the nature of celebrity, which has always been a huge part of art (much to the detriment of poor Basquiat, who died of an OD at the rock star-appropriate age of 27.)

It occurs to me that I may have already mentioned it in this or another documentary thread, but whatever, it's awesome (and would make that "Banishment of Beauty" guy's head explode.) Here's the trailer.

2)How much money does a sex slave bring in every month?
