No I just know what the hell I’m talking about.
Citizen Kane won the Academy Award for best cinematography. Using what was then ground breaking deep focus techniques, Orson Welles achieved something that had never been done before. To think even for a moment that the hand-held cam shot documentary is going to rise to this level is lunacy.
Citizen Kane broke new film ground by pionering non-linear and unreliable narrative that up until Citizen Kane had never been done before. Yet, you seem to think that a documentary is going to rise to the same level. Hah.
This isn’t about politics or Sarah Palin™, it’s about you looking like an idiot for suggesting that a documentary, comprised largely of pieced together footage of news footage, talk show hosts, comedians and man in the street interviews is going to equal a cinematic masterpiece like Citizen Kane. How can you even hope to be taken seriously when you make claims like this?
There’s more to a cult movie than just cinematography or other technical finesse, though Citizen Kane might deservedly have relied on it.
In this instance, we are talking about the political climate in which a movie has been released, and the denouement that Palin is likely to achieve by dint of her efforts. You don’t have to agree:-)
