Not trying to start anything, but --

Look, I'm only trying to ask about this documentary because some things don't sit well with me...

I don't believe everything I watch or read, but I did see "The Last Days of the Big Lie" and what bugs me is the whole black soldier thing. I mean, that seems like a pretty crazy lie (given the historical proof and whatnot) and I'm not sure about anything else said in the documentary (about the documentary being a hoax)...

But any lie -- even if it it ONE lie (or more -- who knows? I wasn't there) doesn't it kinda ruin the entire documentary? How am I supposed to take anything (in the Last Days doc) seriously if it seems like it's trying to manipulate me?

A documentary absolutely must be 100% accurate if it's to be taken seriously. It's bad enough when historical movies take liberties with the facts but it's unacceptable for documentaries to do so.
