Jesus wept, are we going to have to chisel the concept of "documentary" and what that word actually means to people here.

I have friends, people, who dedicate their lives to UN AIDs agencies, and bull**** like the above keeps up the spread of ignorance and misrepresentation of the greatest threat to africa that lives tody. Y'know there are places were sex with a virgin is considered a cure for AIDs.

Bravo Offaly you're a middle aged mind, why don't you find a witch who weighs as much a duck.

You may have noble friends, but you are an ass-hole.

And you like spreading ignorance and false information and claim it is true.

I might be an asshole, but you are someone spreading lies and misinformation that is killing people. So I suspect I'll sleep better at night than you should.

You two need to calm it down and one of you needs to apologise before you're banned.

Back on topic and in keeping with 9/11 is September Clues. This definitely isnt for everyone and its not necessarily my viewpoint, but its all put together so convincingly that if you're into 9/11 conspiracies you'll be into this, even if its just to ridicule it.

The maker is basically saying that no planes hit the buildings on 9/11 and he does a damn good job of trying to prove such an outlandish, even ludicrous, point

For balance there is this video, the last shot of the plane is one Ive never seen before on any 9/11 documentary and it'll give you chills.

Another pro No Planes Theory documentary on 9/11 is 9/11 Octopus, this goes further with the exposing of actors used on the news on the day of the accident.

See below for an example



Whichever side of the fence you sit on, if you're into 9/11 stuff Id recommend all 3 documentaries.

This is effing retarded. The above aren't documentaries they are exercised in immense stupidity.

They ignore the facts that the planes crashed into the sides of buildings on one of the most densely populous landmasses on the planet.

Honestly the sheer witlessness displayed on this thread about what a documentary is, or is supposed to be, beggars belief.

It's like trying to compare AA Milne and John Pilger. if you cannot grasp the difference between winnie the fecking poo, and journalism, well then we need to redefine the definition of terminally stupid.

Look let me spell this out, if you suspect the facts of a documentary, or if you outright know that the "documentary" director is lying, or mispresenting the facts then you are watching fiction or a Michael Moore film. If you suspect the film isn't an accurate representation of the facts you are watching fiction or propaganda.


Quick fact check.

Is star wars fiction or documentary?

Is the A Team fiction or documentary?

Do you do doubt the credibility of what you are watching, Do you think it should be classed as a documentary? Or Fiction?

If you answered yes to the former question on any the above, you have no business commenting as to what makes a good documentary because you do not have the ability to discern between fiction and documentaries.

Would you like to have a conversation about the difference between a documentary, a polemic, and propaganda? i know one of us is playing premier league football and the other is using jumpers for goalposts.

Can you guess which one of us is which?

Discussion over

Unless anyone has got any more recommendations for Documentaries - in any interpretation of the word.

Yeah seriously gang up with the guy wearing water wings during the 100m race.

Just cause you want to think you've won doesn't mean you have. Zascar, you're the guy planning Uno in Vegas.

You should wander off, and set up the next scooter single on your MP3 player.

Earthlings:

And can be viewed here:

Trinity and Beyond : Excellent documentary about the history of the atomic bomb. Excellent music to intensify the enormous power of the images. And it's narrated by Mr William Shatner!

The World at War : In my opinion the definitive documentary, educational, shocking, compelling. A true masterpiece.

Planet Earth : Beautifully shot, epic in scale, and narrated by total legend David Attenborough. Any of his documentaries are worth a watch.

Night and Fog : Mans inhumanity to man at its most chilling. Archival footage of the holocaust, made only ten years after the end of the war. Half an hour of chilling, heart rendering footage.

Some kind of Monster : A cool rockumentary about Metallica, warts and all account. Unintentionally hilarious. I still love em!
