Michael Moore Hates America Answers
1. He uses phantom questioning and splicing of certain interview clips. He uses the “leading interview” tactic to walk interviewee’s toward the right answer. He uses the montage technique.
2. He uses heavy voice over, like Moore, to help the viewer familiarize themselves with the narrator, thus creating predetermined biases that influence the viewer later on. He uses a montage technique, displaying images of his life to achieve the same result.
3. He must decide how to make a compelling an interesting documentary without using the same tactics that Michael Moore has perfected. He must remain unbiased, and impartial, to maintain a certain level of journalistic integrity if he wants to successfully denounce Michael Moore without seeming to be a hypocrite.
4. No, not really. It would be better to say that he shifts the truth. He uses certain editing tricks and viewer biases to create filters that will obscure the truth, thus creating the illusion of a lie, but not an actual lie. It seems to me to be an even more devious way of filmmaking. Slimy.
5. Not unless it protects them from immediate and physical harm. No, it is not ok to lie in the media.
6. She means that by creating a documentary you are taking reality and forcing it through the lens of a camera, which is not conducive to the truth. That lens is also your lens, she implies, and is thus tainted with the inherent biases you posses. I disagree. While a documentary is a creative product, it can be subject to the same journalistic principles that ensure we maintain a free and balanced press. It becomes, therefore, a product of quality reporting, and as close to relating the truth as humanly possible within the format of human expression.
7. When they take unaltered footage or images and edit them to deceive the viewer, for whatever purpose, noble or misguided. That is the line. You cannot alter the truth of your material.
8. She means that we must be conscious of the fact that when we fervently voice a cause, we may soon find ourselves stooping to the levels of our enemies to convey our messages to the masses.
9. It could be the town you grew up in or the town you were born in.
10. It is one of optimism, not despair and sorrow. Wilson presents us with a view of Flit that is hopeful and progressive, unlike Moore’s view which highlights only the negative.
11. That Michel Moore’s cynical view of America’s people and politics is flawed, and America does in fact have a heart: its people.
