Mentioning Nazi connections does not invalidate the documentary. You're commenting on a film you haven't seen.I certainly would not call Bigger, Faster Stronger even handed or a good (let alone a terrific) documentary. It essentially promotes steroids to young people. The filmmaker was a steroid user and he found them to be just dandy. He is lucky he didn't have any physical or psychological problems from the drugs.
I didn't feel they made any meaningful comment about American culture. The movie is ALL about steroids and it does a bad job of it.

You didn't deny it.
So I was right, they simply used the family involvement with the Nazis to
smear him.
That invalidates the film right there.
You completely missed the point of Bigger Faster Stronger.
And it's so simple a child should comprehend it. He didn't succeed, while
the success he did see was often a result of steroids.
He was so disturbed about this hypocrisy he made a movie about it.
They did not just talk about his family's involvement with Nazis, but Arnold's, including one Nazi not allowed into the US who was invited to his wedding. Again, watch the film before commenting.
I followed the steroid movie, I just didn't find it terribly good. As for making some great point, I thought his message was weak, other than NOT being anti-steroid from a health standpoint. I thought that was incredibly irresponsible of him and it was the only memory I have of the amateurish effort at film.
