The thing with the word propaganda is that implies a lie. Propaganda or propagating an opinion or stating an opinion does not make it a lie if you can back it up. The problem with amy Dopcumentary ANY historical film is that even if you hire fact checkers as Moore has done - Facts are not always black or white but grey. Many facts can be looked at differently. Plus mistakes - legitimate ones can be made.The KKK denies the holocaust because they read some article where one forced labour camp was said to gas people but it turned out that that oparticular camp didn't or that one survivor sai he was afraid of being gassed - and it turned out that camp didn't gas people so these KKK folk latch onto those things and say well that survivor made a mistake at the age of 7 therefore the ENTIRE holocaust didn't happen. This is the kind of mindset we deal with when people attack Michael Moore or Oliver Stone.
JFK has a lot of circumstantial evidence to lead the audience in a few directions. People attacked several scenes for lack of evidence that Stone put in as a guess. But an educated guess they were.
What they fail to really notice was that Stone's main objective was to state the Oswald could not have got those shots off in the time allotted - that Arlen Specter's Magic Bullit theory is bogus - that security was curiously lacking. And that witnesses heard gun fire from in front. The RIGHT will endlessly pick on some scene where a guy had different colour shoes - and that there was no Mister X blah blah blah.
But let's get back to the big picture - Fact - bullits came from in front - Oswald didn't do it and the security detachment was called off. Doesn;t take a rocket scientist to know that regardless of the nit picky stuff the government was and still is definitely HIDING something.
Michael Moore with this film lets Bush Powel Rice bury themselves with their own words - and it is enough to know that once again the government is hiding something - whether it's a vast as Moore claims or as evil as Moore claims is something else - but there is certainly something in his arguments that are more valid than many would like - or admit. And hey creating political discussion is more important if only to get the vote count up. Our Canadian election was absolutely pathetic - It's sad that less than half the people vote. And heck we usually have 5-6 parties to choose from. It took me all of 3 minutes. What's with people.
