I usually shy away from docs on political subjects, simply because I’m more interested in character-driven films. No, I haven’t seen “An Inconvenient Truth,” “King Corn,” or “This Film Is Not Yet Rated.” Give me “Spellbound” over “Super Size Me” any day. I haven’t seen a lot of these movies, not because I don’t think they’re going to be good, but because I’d much rather hear about people’s problems rather than the world’s.
The trailer for “Reporter” is intense, but the film also looks to blend the political issue with the humans involved. Perhaps this will be an issue-based film that doesn’t spend every minute proselytizing. I will see this movie:
The last issue-based nonfictional film I saw that didn’t evangelize was “Lake of Fire,” one of the rare movies that was very good, but I just don’t want to see it again.
