The Big Lie: American Addict 2 (2016)
Worth watching and sharing.
A good documentary... I would give it a B or B+. I'm going to recommend it to my friends (some of whom are addicted to prescription meds). The pharmaceutical industry gets a bad rap (rightfully so), as does the FDA. I've heard people in the industry claim that the FDA is responsible for more deaths than most genuine illnesses. There is a revolving door between the drug industry and the FDA. Perhaps part of the solution is getting the Federal Govt out of it entirely.
The one issue that bugs me had to do with the director's decision to run music with lyrics on top of footage when people are speaking. They both seem to be at the same volume level, which makes it very difficult to hear what the person being interviewed is saying.
Revelation: Dawn of Global Government (2016)
Editing style killed this documentary
I watched this film the other night... or at least I tried to watch it. Understand, I am the target audience for this film... I'm aware of every issue that was brought up and discussed. However, the film itself was just awful... or to be more specific, the EDITING of this film was just awful. Imagine if you took the solid, rational, complete interviews of your guests, diced them up into five and 10 second clips, shuffled them like a deck of cards, and then played them in that random order. After 15 minutes I was ready to stop watching... but I kept up. After 50 minutes, I had had enough with it, and just left it play in the background.
A completely ruined documentary/movie, all because of the editing. If someone could take all of the pieces and reassemble them so that I can watch the actual interviews without having someone else's interview interwoven into it, then I could re-rate the movie to a higher number.
I can not recommend it, even though the information provided is important and needs to be shared. The editing just ruined this movie.
