no. but, her husband's cousin larry was a hero. he rescued them out of the attick with a punching bag as a floatation device in 2.5 FEET of water. Can you imagine that?

There was just a thread on this, and everybody including me , hated it.
Please tell us what was "phenomenal" about it.

what was phenomenal to me was that, when asked where they got the truck, they never answered.

Setting aside their character deficiencies, or how you feel about Nola ghetto peeps, WHAT about that documentary would make you recommend it to a documentary fan ?
Was it a gripping story? I mean the storm camcorder footage was cool but, hell I have seen that three dozen times...
Was it what happened to them post-Katrina? Because nothing happened.
Was it the simplistic bush-bashing? Because so many others have done that much more convincingly.
Was it some technical aspect of the film?
Because it looked like shite.
Was it the compelling people?
Seriously, none of them offered a SINGLE original insight.
Seriously, It's not that I didn't like it..it's that i can't understand why anybody liked it.
It was like watching paint dry. It was about one of the most dramatic events of our lives, yet it bored me.
Spike Lee's agit-prop documentary, by contrast, was gripping. It gave us tremendous insight into people and events. Even if it made you want to throw a shoe at the tv, it went somewhere, and it moved you to strong emotion. And it was technically brilliant to boot.

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.

really?
maybe because, if they say they hated it, then the repercutions would be astronomical.
