OK. Well, have you guys watched Farenheit then? Because to me, 'plopping the camera in front of the phenomena' is predominantly what Moore seemed to be doing in it. I mean, really, I don't know what else to say. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You guys seem to be saying that 'filming real life stuff' makes a documentary. But that's what Moore does. I mean, History Channel documentaries are edited to hell and back as well, as are National Geographic, and Discovery Channel.. you name it. Footage is selectively chosen to convey a thesis. It's up to you whether you agree with that thesis or not. But it's still part of making a documentary.

I dunno, this is weird, I've never encountered this sort of obstinancy before. I guess I should congratulate you guys I mean, you do realise that absolutely all language is propaganda in one way or another right? But so what? What's the big deal?


And Oblivion : Where's all this talk about solipcism and moral bankruptcy coming from man?
