There is no such thing as a "true documentary" because by actually filming something...we change it. Even the best fiction is "documentary" to a degree; that is, a filmmaker wants us to focus upon truth as s/he sees it but from a new perspective, often through another character. I reviewed Alain Resnais documentary NIGHT AND FOG on my blog a month or so back, please check it out. <br />And keep up the good work:)<br />AlexAlex DeLargehttp://korovatheatrepresents.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628119176645632377.post-41488907607111227652009-06-02T08:30:03.628-07:002009-06-02T08:30:03.628-07:00Marcy, That is exactly my point.

And it offers up the possibilities, if the viewer is interested, for us to go educate ourselves on the subject and find out in which ways we agree and disagree rather than take everything that is said at face value.Dead Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948105275239152520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628119176645632377.post-89424754853399850982009-05-31T20:51:17.791-07:002009-05-31T20:51:17.791-07:00*Bowling for Columbine, my mistake.*<I>Bowling for Columbine</I>, my mistake.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628119176645632377.post-22595851975824128182009-05-31T20:50:42.577-07:002009-05-31T20:50:42.577-07:00I recently watched Bowling in Columbine in history...I recently watched <I>Bowling in Columbine</I> in history class. Michael Moore is technically a terrific documentary filmmaker, but there is no doubt that his documentaries are extremely biased. And there is nothing wrong with that.<br /><br />It's obvious that he only shows what he wants to show and everything he shows is a way for him to prove his own point/opinion about a certain subject matter. Moore's brief interview with Dick Clark made Dick Clark seem like a pretty bad guy. But is he? So I agree with what you said about documentaries being overly subjective, but I don't think it's necessarily problematic to be swayed when the documentarian makes a good point.<br /><br />I like it when documentaries leave some sort of subjective fingerprint. It makes everything a little more interesting.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.com
