Yep. There's quite a bit of hype to it. Then again, there's hype to the way the official version has come out in the conventional media too, newscasts and docudramas are geared towards manipulating our feelings and emotions to affect how we perceive and then make a decision on what we are watching. The filmmaker is only doing the same thing they're doing, isn't he? I feel like to a certain extent, the reason why his legitimacy is being picked apart is because of the distribution medium through which it came, google video(less advertising sponsors affecting content) vs. television (more advertising sponsors affecting content). I've had a different reaction to this documentary upon viewing it a second time, and I am left with the feeling the second time (and having seen what Foo has to say about it) around it's just as easy to poke holes in the the documentary as it is for the filmmaker to poke holes in official version of 9/11(we're not supposed to be able to pick holes in the official version of something though!) What the firefighters had to say about what they were seeing on the scene as it happened remains just as disturbing, both times. Aren't they the experts that were on the scene as it happened? The fact that what they have to say about it directly contradicts the official version is what's most disturbing to me. Just that on its own could have led me to disbelieve the offical version and think that I'm being misled (again) by the media-at-large and my government (members of both have been caught lying before, yeah?). The chances of such a far-reaching conspiracy pulling this off are pretty slim, yeah but I think the documentary picks apart the official/sanitized version of 9/11 enough to make me question it.
I guess the documentary was a good one in that way, it made me question the official version of events that day. He's just trying to change the way people think, right?
