Nah, but I'm not making the claim that it's a sign of welcome. I'm just pointing out it's a little stupid to 100% assume that the supposedly internet savvy and organized protest can't possibly have also heard the widely held internet belief that laser pointers can make helicopter flight dangerous. And I'm not in the business of giving supposedly competent truthtellers even second chances anymore
As for the rest, it's obviously a film before am educational video. I listened to it doing other things rather than directly watching, which made it particularly apparent that it's about 50% emotional/foreboding music and 25% famous political soundbytes that were just there to keep the mood. The earliest parts were the most interesting as the older history is less well ingrained for me, the latter half didn't really deliver anything new to me, but it's probably a good primer for normies who still have the bizarre faith that their leaders wouldn't just boldly lie to them on a daily basis.
Ahh, I find much of the effect of his movies comes from the shifting contrast/agreement between what you’re seeing, hearing, and thinking, so I imagine only half watching would lead to a far less impactful version of things.
If you at all enjoyed it, especially for its historical insights, I think you’d enjoy far more some of his earlier work on more obscure subjects. There’s another comment chain in this thread which lists some of the best ones he’s done
