adamj1982 posted:Anyone seen "Saleman" or "Grey Gardens"? They both sound interesting, although by just watching the 'trailer' for Grey Gardens, I'm kind of confused on what's it about. Seems touching though Those are both among the best documentaries ever made, especially Salesman. Don't hesitate!

How is Herzog magnanimous?

magnificent7 posted:Both of those docs really were just masquerading as part of that "Faces Of Death" series from back then. We didn't have the internet, and most people didn't carry around video clips of people getting killed. I want you to know that this is a pretty bad and quite puzzling post.

magnificent7 posted:Yeah. I know. I watched the docs around 2AM last night. Been missing a lot of sleep. So that post is definitely a freestyle thoughtbubble kind of a thing. I could go back and edit it up if you'd like. No, just as long as you're aware.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:I think Herzog is a far better documentarian than Moore as is Theroux but unless you're talking about, I dunno, some thing about following around a family of moose you're not likely to get a neutral perspective on anything. Even then, just by making the moose doc you're probably making some kind of eco-statement. Documentaries are categorically the least "truthful" genre of filmmaking. They're often the most honest, but they are in and of themselves inherently an act of reductionism and selective point-of-view-generating editing.

big business sloth posted:I really would like to see more presentations as such. Both "The Day the Universe Changed" and "Cosmos" begin with "A Personal Journey/View by..." and I think that format is astounding. As I understand it, that format began with Civilisation: A Personal View by Kenneth Clark, in part as Kenneth Clark's disclaimer that he was really only concerned with Western Civilization. It's a really good show, very much worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNGzoJFj9g8

xcore posted:drat you guys are good! That's him. I can't sit through more than two or three a year but I've never seen one that didn't captive me. They're strange time capsules, and usually deeply political without saying anything. I think Missile is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wynz3FtUBZc Notoriously hard to find, though.

fenix down posted:Everyone who hasn't already should check out Hands on a Hard Body. It's a completely friendly competition and the participants are wonderfully odd and unique. I've always thought if this came out a few years later in the heat of that Spellbound/King of Kong era, it would've been a huge hit.

Frostwerks posted:I watched a documentary on birdwatching in central park last night. I don't really give a poo poo about birds but I wanted to watch a documentary about the park and it delivered in spades. If anyone else knows of any that aren't about the central park five because that poo poo's depressing. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097033/ This one is great but hard to find. Symbiopsychotaxiplasm isn't about Central Park but is entirely set there, and is very good.

Just watched Daughter from Danang and it was stone-cold crushing.
