Astonishing as it may seem, many people today are getting their *facts* from movies. We know they do that, in the case of the execrable Pearl Harbor and no doubt from Artificial Intelligence as well (Spielberg wouldn't lie!), but now we are seeing it from novelized documentaries. I refer to the long discussion on Dr. Death below.This has come to a head with the severe chastisement I just received from a Mr. A. Philanderer. I quote:
"If you haven't seen the film then poetic waxing over the minutiae
(i.e., the meaning of revisionism) seems a trifle moot, does it
not?... It would behoove you to investigate the source material
at least once before drawing critical conclusions or playing semantics
games, don't you think?"Well well well! Evidently a movie -- a mere *movie*, ladies and gentlemen -- now defines "the meaning of revisionism" for our inveterate and undiscriminating moviegoers. Not only that, a *movie* now constitutes original "source material"! And not having attended said *movie* subjects a soul to beratement for daring to discuss the issues raised.
It no longer matters to *moviegoers* whether one has followed the controversy in the relevant local papers, or that one has ACTUALLY READ "THE LEUCHTER REPORT" and other documents to broaden that knowledge. No, the *movie* and *only the movie* may, in our moviegoers' view, accurately inform the public today.
