Terrible Exploitation
1 August 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Is this what constitutes documentary film-making? A non-story revisited. I'm sure the "director" figured the story of an uneducated immigrant athlete beaten down by the powers above would make for an interesting story, too bad the facts got in the way. Nice try Drath Vader. The film's focus Louie Resto, seems to be in over his head in every situation he has ever encountered. In Resto's case, allowing this reality show producer/pariah to follow him around, reshaping his past and the facts, was monetarily beneficial, but morally bankrupt. The "confrontation" between Resto and his former manager, may have been the saddest misuse of the documentary format. Not everyone who wants to tell your story to the world should be trusted.
