It was the home-movie within a movie aspect, the Cloverfield aspect kept me thinking of what I would do in the situation. Sure, they didn't convey an overwhelming message, and I'm sure most whiteys can't keep up with jive for an 1 1/2 hours but it felt like one of the realer documentary situations I've ever been put it. Of course they stole a boat and a car, that's the beauty of it. Spike Lee was anti-Bush, this just gave you the reality of the delay, the unresponsiveness, but also how real life people were affected. I've been in OPP, that place was torn to pieces inside. I've been to the Coliseum in Alexandria, as if it wasn't a POS before...
I've just never seen anything like that before. My disaster management teacher showed up an hour long home video of some guy in Metarie or Mandeville that stayed in his home and filmed the entire thing. TTW was in the 9th ward, son. Thats real.

spike lee did "when the levees broke"

Danny Glover did this one.

It's no wonder why the rest of the nation thinks that we are stupid. here's an example from the movie:

Black Kold Medina "Jesus loves me. That mufricker loves me, shee."

i mean, do you blame the rest of the country?

To each his own I guess...
I was underwhelmed.
I thought it was the worst documentary I have ever seen.
Not because they were unappealing human beings, but because it was monumentally boring and repetitive.
You have to work to make Katrina stories boring.
Many critics loved it.
I don't know why.
