Exactly loudubs. The bitches who go on about how MM lies and twists facts piss me off too. It;s such a stupid pointless argument to attack him with. They go on about the truth and attack him for being cinematic. For giving his movies a heart and soul - a deliberate perspective.
The facts are already out there. Noone's given me any convincing evidence on anything MM's supposed to have lied about, except these stupid right- wing websites that are using the exact same manipulation of the message they claim MM is using. It's a fuckin war in the media - a war OVER the media.
In my whole (short) life i've never seen a government so obsessed with controlling the message like the Bush governement. . Its scary. It's how they got this alcoholic crackhead texas hick elected. And it's how they been running the country ever seen. Controlling media acess during the war, promoting stories like that chick who got captured by the Iraqis and got rescued. Everything Bush does or says is managed in this PR project - like his flying that jet and landing it. You're not even allowed to show coffins of the dead soldiers. Fuckin Bullshit. And why was Bush's questioning by the 9-11 committee done in secrecy? To control the message is why.
If all you're saying is that MM uses the same tactics, then fuck u. A documentary is not a fuckin journalistic newreport. You see CNN? You see FOX? BBC New 24? That's what journalism on TV/Cinema looks like. They're not documentaries - they're news. MM doesn't make the news - he makes documentaries.
Facts don't mean shit. It's the position u take on them that matter. MM 's films aren't about showing u the news report - but he's offering u a highly personalised subjective interpretation of those facts. And we need him and more like him to combat this culture of autocratic governments run by Spin doctors and PR gurus.
