'A little one sided...' = ?!?


From the review on the front page for this film:

It can feel quite one sided at times, and can present some of the street people being interviewed as naive with uneducated points of view.
The street people interviews were obviously done to demonstrate how little the general public knows about marijuana... but the film feels "one sided"? Honestly?

It's a documentary about an unnecessary law that shouldn't exist, which has sent thousands and thousands of non-violent offenders into our already severely over-crowded prison system, for a "crime" that doesn't hurt anyone. It's about a war that is costing America millions and millions of dollars, over a product that could be saving America billions of dollars instead. It's about the lies that have been presented to the populace, and the people who misled and tricked the public into believing them. It's about disspelling the misconceptions that have kept people living in fear for almost 80 years now.

Um... no sh*t it's "one sided".

Why would you doubt that the film really feels that way to the guy who wrote the review? It needs to be read with that understanding. He's simply telling you how he felt about it. At least in that sentence, he's not at all trying to hide that fact. Different people will feel different ways about it.

Who said I doubted the way he feels about it? I believe he really feels that way - I just think it's ridiculous.

It's like a movie about vegetarians, and why they become vegetarians, and the dangers of meat, and the benefits of vegetables... and someone saying "This movie seems a little one sided against carnivores!" Well, yeah, no sh!t.

And that's too bad - I wonder what the asshat who had their post modded had to say. Something clever, I'm sure.
