I liked the movie, but I was upset by the heavy amount of conspiracy he put in, and also the fact that he considered alternate theories on events as if they were the only ones worthy of attention. I am thinking about his description of the bombings as false flags destined to put the blame on gaddafi instead of syria. The main counter-intelligence on these was due to italian secret services, but further information obtained through the years totally debunked it. Still, he acts as if there was no question about it. To him, it's a US manipulation. I think it casts doubt on the rest of the movie.

I also spent a lot of my time watching the film trying to sort out how much is truth, and how much is propaganda or deliberate misinformation.

However, I think this also exactly the point this film is making about our modern media and political environment, which makes the film all the more effective and terrifying.

So you think he did it on purpose and made a sort of mockumentary?

I do not believe it was a mockumentary or wheels-within-wheels meta-commentary.

I was just struck by the irony that all the accusations leveled by the filmmaker at the media and our government also apply to this film itself.
