I liked it as a documentary, not an entertainment piece
9 October 2005
Previous comments on this documentary have been quite negative, but they were obviously looking to be entertained not informed. While it is a bit dry, the information is good and worth seeing. The book is great and I look forward to the movie with Tom Hanks. This piece is helping me prepare to enjoy that movie more by showing the places, artwork, and other items that will be portrayed in the movie and appeared in the book. Also read Brown's other books if you want to get a bit of his preparation for this book. I like the way he thinks and tells a story, even if the story is a whopper. This documentary is not a "Bowling for Columbine" nor any other of Michael Moore's pseudo-documentary "Let's make a Buck while telling them it's the truth" hogwash. Thank God! Documentary films are supposed to be informative and accurate, not necessarily controversial or entertaining.
