The Documentary Thread

[Ares]

If you are presenting a piece of work as a documentary and intentionally mislead people into believe something that is false....that is lying.

Ok which documentary are you referring to and what did he mislead people to believe?

I have seen like 3 of his films, not all of them, so I may be missing the obvious here.

Like I said before, there are lists all over the intrewebz of Moore's lies. It all boils down to right v left, is that what you want to read? The standard list of Moore's lies are so filled with lies, why bother? IMO Moore has fun with the truth, as do his detractors. Grain of salt man.

Many of them are subtle...he will splice footage together to mislead people into thinking something specific occured.

In Bowling for Columbine he misleads the viewers on a sequence of events. The "cold dead hands speech" by Charlton Heston was portrayed to be in Denver 10 days after the Columbine killings when, in fact, it was a year later in Charlotte, North Carolina.

He does this a lot in his supposed documentaries....

The bottom line is Moore does present truthful things, but he intersperses it misleading information and downright lies........i

There are many examples of it.....and it isn't just a Dem vs Rep thing he had a hit piece on Dukakis that spliced together unrelated Bush Sr political ads claiming Dukakis allowed Willie Horton to get out of jail and kill again because of the furlough program......Willie Horton didn't get out of jail to murder anyone. He did commit crimes, but murder wasn't one. That part of the movie also tried to make it look like Republicans were going after black people in the ad. Unfortunately Moore had to splice two unrelated ads together to get the effect he wanted and added a caption that didn't exist in either original ad.

There are plenty of examples of this in his fakeumentaries.

There's a new one on NAT GEO right now called, He'll on Earth: the fall of Syria and the rise of Isis.

It's a beautiful kick in the teeth on a Sunday evening.

Red Army yesterday... a 2014 documentary about USSR Hockey players.

Was kinda funny, one of the main ones being interviewed laughing about when they trounced Canada.... then the director like "Tell us about your first Olympics (1980)" and it got all death stare lol.

I just watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It's about a man that has dedicated his life to his craft and refuses to slow down. Good view for foodies...

You often miss the obvious. You are aware that there are fact check websites and something called the internet where you can confirm statements right ? Go do it man, get your ignorance under control broheim. It can be a pain in the ass doing fact checks, but you really can't just believe everything you watch.

I guess you haven't seen Ares Troll me constantly...Just pointing out it might serve him best to actually look facts up before arguing.
