"This is documentary on genetic manipulation is drivel. Preaching to the choir. " Henry folded his arms. A clear sign of his deviance.
"You stopped watching after ten minutes." Kristl said with a thin smile.
"In those ten minutes I had not seen one shred of evidence, but I did see the seal of the president displayed over two people shaking hands and exchanging money while a voice over laid down accusations of bribery and corruption. Twice the companies were directly connected to agent orange while a Vietnam type movie showed a plane dropping bombs. The word contamination was repeated as much as possible, so we wouldn't miss the word 'contamination'. Contamination! Contamination! It was hammered in drivel clearly aimed at the gut. I had seen enough."
"There is a kind of truth in that. They started to show evidence around the fifteen minute mark. And actually I think the rest of the documentary sort of invoked worry a with me. Not that I was convinced as the movie was so obvious one sided. But you know. I got the feeling it would be wise if there was some investigation into all of this. Just to be sure."
"Duh."
"This is the main problem with this documentary. It is not an objective documentary, but it is a case for the prosecution. And it is so obvious biased that you start to doubt it's message. You feel there might be something wrong with genetic manipulation, but it the movie is like the answer you get when you ask a religious fanatic to give an honest opinion on what is the best religion in the world."
"Preaching to the choir!' Henry said.
"Sadly enough the consequence is that it fails to be effective. The documentary seems to be aimed at convincing the ones who are already convinced and it puts off any anyone who has yet to be convinced. It fails especially in the first ten minutes were they fling accusations of bribery and corruption around without backing them up with evidence. And they also fail by delaying to show people whom we would can connect with. Like farmers. There are some at the end of the movie, but that means you have to sit through an hour of watching people in suits and such talking about how bad these are companies are."
"So you agree with me!"
"Well, a one sided message doesn't have to be a wrong message. If they had just stuck to the facts and only showed the possible dangers of genetic manipulation and the lack of the government to take action, it would have been a better movie..."
"And much shorter one." Henry remarked.
"And that might not have been too bad, most people seem to have a short attention span." Kristl smiled, "About ten minutes or so."
"Tolerating ten minutes of nonsense is not a short attention span in my book. It means I am bonkers and should have stopped watching after five minutes!"
"I wonder if you had not stopped before you even began." Kristl suggested.
"No." Henry shook his head.
"Proof it."
"The title was cool. Otherwise I wouldn't have watched it at all."
"I believe you." Kristl said.
"I thought you would and it took me less then a minute to convince you." Henry said.
Kristl laughed at that.
