[QUOTE="Villano, post: 928426, member: 505"] Well, when you fake pretty much everything, that's a bit more than not hewing "100% to the documentary format". Lying or staging events that you claim occurred due to other reasons takes it well out of the documentary format and into propaganda. And a documentary that isn't a documentary would be a bad movie by it's very nature since it isn't what it claims to be. A musical without singing or even music would be bad as well. I'll admit that I haven't heard anything about Winged Migration faking its footage, but the reason for that is probably because it naturally won't get as much press due to the fact that it lost. However, the "someone else did something bad and didn't get caught so why are you picking on me?" excuse doesn't hold much water. If both faked things, they should both be taken to task for it. And I don't think you've heard everything about Bowling since I can't imagine a film faking more things than it did. Even the title isn't true since the boys never went bowling that morning as Moore claims. And that's been known since the time of the shooting. I mean, if you can't trust the facts of [I]the title[/I] of a film that purports to tell the truth... Heck, Michael Moore recently claimed that both it and Roger & Me have been made into required viewing in French schools. Needless to say, the French are saying that this is just ridiculous and untrue. And that's just [B]one[/B] of the things he's saying. You can fill a website with these things...and people have. Truthfully, I think Moore has some sort of psychological problem. I can't believe he sees the world the same way everyone else does or else he wouldn't sight written sources for his claims that say nothing even remotely close to what he says. [/QUOTE]
