Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

Alex · 01-25-2012, 09:31 AM

The only two nominated movies that I haven't seen and are available for streaming on Netflix are documentaries (If a Tree Falls and To Hell and Back) so I watched the first one last night (really want to see Pina before it leaves theaters but I don't know I'll ever have the time).

It is a fair documentary in that it is interesting to see the thinking and general normalcy of the Earth Liberation Front activist/terrorists. But I couldn't quite tell if it was trying to provoke a sense of outrage or sympathy over what happened to the main guy convicted. It didn't, but I'm not sure if that means it failed.

If anybody else has seen it, any thoughts?
