Light difference between documentary and fiction
by alucard on Apr.21, 2009, under Uncategorized
Today I rode one of my friend post about a “documentary” of Michael Moore “the corporation”. I never saw this movie and I am not attending to discuss about the subject of this movie. I just want to point out the fact that too many people are taking this kind of fiction for documentary. Michael Moore is a filmmaker not a documentaries, the difference is when the subject of the movie is affected by the view of the director.
To take another similar situation, I read every day news paper on internet and right before the office at the kiosk. I never take news from one source of information to make sure that the final idea of the story will not be affected by the publication. Every story has at least two sides, it’s up to the reader to know them and make his own opinion.

I do agree on the fact that Michael Moore is a filmmaker and not documentaries but that’s the thing “The corporation” isn’t made by Micheal Moore he just is included in a couple of scenes in it.
I really do recommend you to watch the movie, I’m not talking about companies that are or aren’t making it happen, I’m criticizing those who don’t care about supporting a war as long as it’s pure benefit for them, those who have no problem putting thousands of people in danger by poisoning their water, those who’d be ready to kill because someone opposed them.
I really advise you to watch it and tell me what you think about the documentary.

And I completely agree with you on reading both sides of a story.
You’ll notice in the documentary important people (CEOs , traders and more) telling their side of the story and how some of them are now contributing in changing the way things work.
