Ballard became more of a known quantity after the release of the movie Sound of Freedom, a dramatization of his mission in which he was played by actor Jim Caviezel. Critics of the film have argued that Ballard’s claims about his accomplishments have been “dramatically overstated or without clear documentary evidence.”
Since when is having accurate information in a documentary political? Thats why its getting blasted. You don’t present bad information about human trafficking. Sure, that Dinosaur Planet shit has inaccurate shit about dinosaurs, but its about dinosaurs. It doesn’t directly harm anybody. This shit bag does.
That person seems to be unable to tell the difference between a Documentary and a Dramatic Reenactment.
Dramatic retelling are allowed to play fast and loose with the story, since its point is to get across certain emotions to the audience. A responsible dramatic retelling acknowledges that certain parts of the movie are fictionalized, and usually the portrayed events are already well understood by the populace, or information is readily and widely available (see Oppenheimer).
A documentary is first and foremost meant to be informative and bring to light a topic or series of events that aren’t well known by the populace. Inaccuracies in these is a huge red flag as that implies they’re trying to set a specific narrative for the topic before bringing it into the public eye, basically meaning it’s propoganda. And “not caring about the politics” about a propaganda piece doesn’t suddenly make it ineffective, or any less a piece if propaganda.
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, person I replied to who was not the one confused about the issue but who I responded to anyway
Dudes username is Ubermeisters. They are either an Uber virtuoso, or they subscribe to a specific set of ideals. Its always those ones that “don’t care about the politics”.
Or I’ve had this username for a really long time across a lot of platforms and just used to think German language sounded cool (thanks Rammstein/The Matrix) but sure, let’s start wild assumptions about who each other are, seems productive.
I’ll pass
About as productive as defending a documentary someone had produced about themselves.
