He creates a similarly ridiculous atmosphere by the use of music to portray his points. It is mean spirited and he admits that. I am not saying he has no right to do this and that his use is not effective - he does and it is. I am just saying I think some of takes away from the journalistic integrity of the film, but he readily admits he was not going for journalistic integrity. So, even though my point is academic, it does not negate the fact that some of the film is ridiculous in that it uses xany humor to ridicule

Also, the far left aften use inciting titles and expect to be taken seriously. I am just sayin. . . . . . . .

Disclaimer: I think MM has made a good peice of, by his own admission, propoganda. I am just commenting on his style.

I did think the film was funny, and again, he is a good filmmaker. He also has every right to make whatever film he chooses. I would protect his rights the same way I would protect Gibson and his Passion.

BUT, I do think it is shown as the “truth” and many uninformed people will take it as such, especially with the far left and many media outlets singing its praises without calling BS on some of his hypotheses.
