The Sex Advisors

A Tight Evaluation of “Loose Change”

“You know you if you criticize the President it’s unpatriotic and there’s something wrong with you, you may be a terrorist”. Sarcastic words from the famous journalist and 9/11 critic Hunter S. Thompson in an interview from the movie “Loose Change”. The movie “Loose Change” by Dylan Avery provides a very strong argument on the whole controversy about the attacks on September 11th, exposing the horrible realties that this country is facing today. This movie gets into the real details and controversies that past films regarding 9/11 did not even touch on. The film seems to use every piece of evidence from several media sources, interviews, and even basic science to help disprove the beliefs that the mainstream media is pumping out to the people; the belief that Osama Bin Laden was behind theses attacks. The film basically implies that the Bush Administration was behind the whole thing. It cover’s the attacks on WTC, The Pentagon, and Flight 93 as well as many other oddities that do not seem to make sense about the whole day and day’s leading up to the attacks. The movie “Loose Change” is an important documentary that every American should see, no matter what side or political party they are on, and draw their own conclusions from the evidence provided.

When looking at a documentary such as this, there are some important aspects of it that should be evaluated. One of them is validity. Dylan Avery does a great job at covering his claims with real evidence such as documented quotes from politicians, media coverage that seems to have been lost with the times, media coverage from other agencies all around the world, and even basic physics to prove his point. Avery even backs himself up just a little bit more by giving his sources on screen so a one could go and look up this information from old media archives for one’s self and research to prove that this stuff was not made up. Avery has done an great job at making this film a nearly irrefutable piece of art.

When documentaries come out, especially political ones, there is always a great deal of controversy, such as Michael Moore’s film “Fahrenheit 9/11 . This film had the same intentional goal that “Loose Change” had. The goal of discrediting the mainstream media’s approach to the coverage on 9/11. Instead Moore’s film seemed to mostly make fun of President Bush. Because of this people criticized Moore’s film as being too bias. This is not the case with Avery’s film. Avery tends not to push his judgement about all these events on to the audience. Instead, he just simply presents his solid information and then lets the audience come to their own conclusion about these terrorist attacks. There are a surprisingly few number of rebuttals to this film out currently, and those few seem to discredit it without fact. Avery did an excellent job at excluding political bias from the film, and because of that it makes for a very interesting film, no matter what political affiliation.

Quality is another important issue in a documentary; it conveys the purpose of the film a little bit more by giving the audience something pretty and organized to watch and better understand the film. The quality of “Loose Change” was exceptional. One example of the quality was his use of satellite mapping technology to illustrate what was going on around the world during September 11th and other important days leading up to the attacks. Another quality factor in the movie was the music. The music consists of primarily hip-hop beats that goes perfectly and sets the eerie mood of the film that leaves the audience shaking in there seats, knowing that these are very possible realities. Avery also implemented the use of on-screen captions to highlight certain parts of news articles, websites, and quotes to bring out any evidence that helps with the purpose of the film. The beginning of the film even has a warning caption that is an obvious parody of the FBI warning on most films. This caption states that anyone in possession of this film can be detained with out trial for terrorism under the U.S. Patriot Act, and it urges the viewer to make copies and send it to anyone they can before it is too late. The overall quality was really surprising since the makers of this film are not capitalizing on it and are giving away the copyrights to anyone willing to help spread this information to other people.

Even though “Loose Change” was a great documentary, there are still some things that must be criticized. Not because it is bias or false, but because there are some questions and interesting facts that are left out of the film. One example of this would be when the towers fell. Why was there no media coverage on the other buildings, leased by the same person, that also fell for no apparent reason? And why was there no damage to surrounding buildings owned by different corporations that were closer to ground zero than the buildings that fell? These are some important questions that should be answered. Even though these questions were not answered in the film, it is still hard to criticize it since Avery has been updating the film with new facts and re-releasing them as different editions. The only way would be to wait for more editions to come out.

Never the less, the movie still conveyed the meaning that it was going for, and it did it without entirely coming out and saying it. The meaning that The Bush Administration was behind the attacks on September 11th and they had everything to benefit from it. Even if the movie seems to imply something that one would disagree on, or is against. It is still a movie that every American should watch and then draw their own conclusions from it and it is available free on Google Video for public download for everyone to see.

Nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Picture, Ray is a captivating and inspiring true story about a man beloved by millions around the world. Based on the life and times of Ray Charles Robinson, the film follows the popular singer’s life from the earliest days of his youth to the day of his triumph over a heroin addiction. Featuring a soundtrack second to none in the history of cinema, Ray is the total package in terms of a blockbuster film - great characters blended together with an inspirational personal journey and an unforgettable musical score. Actor Jamie Foxx gives an Oscar Award winning performance so lifelike that it’s difficult to distinguish his character from the real Ray Charles. In short, Ray is a film that appeals to a wide audience and one that literally transports its viewers into another era…

Jamie Foxx plays the role of Ray Charles Robinson, a black youth growing up in Florida during the Great Depression. Forced to deal with the tragedy of his kid brother’s death, and the loss of his own vision at a young age, Ray nevertheless triumphs over his disability when his mother refuses to let him feel sorry for himself. Learning to play the piano from a neighborhood musician, Ray strikes out on his own in the late-1940s for gig in Seattle.

Ray’s amazing talents are instantly recognized, and he’s never short of a gig. However, while traveling on the road with several jazz bands, Ray begins using drugs, and he eventually becomes addicted to heroin. When Atlantic Records buys Ray’s contract, Ray’s career accelerates, culminating in several number one hits. Eventually, Ray strikes a deal with NBC worth more than any other performer of his day, and he and his wife Bea buy a luxurious Beverly Hills home with the world spread out before them.

But things aren’t as perfect as they seem. Ray’s infidelities have taken a toll on his marriage, and his drug addiction threatens to ruin his family, his relationship with his children, and his dealings with longtime friends. Having already accomplished more than most men, Ray Charles must now face the greatest challenge of his life - overcoming his heroin addiction and living a clean life…

Jamie Foxx is simply astounding in his portrayal of the larger than life figure Ray Charles, and his effort was more than acknowledged by his Academy Award victory and widespread critical acclaim. But less attention is given to the outstanding supporting cast that surrounds Foxx. The role of the young Ray Robinson’s mother, Aretha, is played by Sharon Warren with such passion that her character leaps off the screen and into one’s memory as the second most influential character of the film. Aretha’s dedication to her son’s future and her demanding, yet loving, attitude toward his self-sufficiency are admirable qualities. And the mother’s influence on Ray is apparent in his drive not to be treated by the world as a cripple.

Further adding to the allure of Ray are performances by Kerry Washington (Della Bea Robinson), Regina King (Margie Hendricks), and Clifton Powell (Jeff Brown). Through the interaction of each character, the viewer sees a reflection of the passion and driving life forces that moved Ray Charles toward his musical destiny. Ultimately, Ray is a film about relationships and dreams. The astounding heights of success achieved by a blind man (and a black man in a segregated society) leave the impression that any individual can achieve any feat to which he puts his mind. This is the true gift of Ray, a feel-good film with a happy ending about a man who showed the world that anything is possible. And that’s why Ray is an absolute must-see movie…
