WouldDesk posted: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 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. You hated how they showed the truth? A documentary can be entertaining, but it most importantly needs to be truthful, to properly DOCUMENT what is actually happening. Personally, I liked MMHA, but I wasn't really a fan to begin with (didn't dislike him, either). While we're talking about documentaries that don't tell the whole truth....man, Gasland is one of the most skewed, biased pieces I've ever seen. I can't believe people here were recommending it. That wasn't even close to legitimate film-making in the slightest bit.

Woooie. I just watched Dear Zachary. That is probably one of the best filmed documentaries ever. It was really touching, everyone needs to see it. You won't finish it with dry eyes. V-You're 100% right-V Dead Pressed fucked around with this message at 00:15 on May 13, 2011 |
