Let me see if I can help folks here understand why people dislike Mr. Moore (including myself)
From the Dictionary.com web site:
<quote>documentary
n. pl. doc·u·men·ta·ries
A work, such as a film or television program, presenting political, social, or historical subject matter in a factual and informative manner and often consisting of actual news films or interviews accompanied by narration.
allegory
n. pl. Allegories.
A figurative sentence or discourse, in which the principal subject is described by another subject resembling it in its properties and circumstances. The real subject is thus kept out of view, and we are left to collect the intentions of the writer or speaker by the resemblance of the secondary to the primary subject.</quote>
For Example: If I take a fact, then distort it via clever editing, voice over "explanations" or selectively excluding certian relevant facts (lying), then it's not a documentary, it's an allegory (or an infrence, but that's for a different post). So, for instance, if I show a porn website full of naked people having sex with animals, and say "The Titled Forum Project contains disgusting smut pictures like these", the infrence is:
a) The TFP has pictures <b>EXACTLY</b> like that and
b)That's all they have, cause the TFP is a porn site.
See, from an allegorical standpoint, I've used a porn site to describe the TFP, which would leave the unknowledgeable to believe that the TFP is a porn site too. Which it isn't. But there are pictures of naked people around, which might be contrued as porn. Which makes my action above FACTUALLY incorrect, but ALLEGORICALLY correct.
But when you take allegory, and pass it off as fact, and win awards for that, it irks people.
See?
