Hide analysis

Film critic: There has been a recent spate of so-called "documentary" films purporting to give the "true story" of one historical event or another. ███ ████ ██ █████ █████ ████ ████ ██████████ ███ ██████ ████ ████ █████████████ ███████ █████ █████████████ ███ ██████████ ██████ █████ █████ ██ ████████ ████ ███████ ██ ██████ ████████ ████ ██ ███████ █████ ██████ ████████ ████ █████ ██ █████ ██ ████ ███ ███████ ███ ██████████ ████ ██████ █████ ██ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ██████ █████ █████████ ██ ███ ██████

Summary

There are a lot of purported “documentary” films that contain inaccurate accounts of historical events. Even though the filmmakers have the right to create these inaccurate films, that doesn’t mean anyone should pay attention to the views in those films.

Strongly Supported Conclusions

People can be entitled to create films that are inaccurate.

Some films contain views that people don’t need to pay attention to.

To which one of the █████████ ██████████ ████ ███ ████ ████████ ██████████ ████ ███████ ████████

a

Although filmmakers are ████████ ██ ███████ ██████ ██████ ████ ███ ███ █████████ ██ █████ ███

This isn’t supported, because the author doesn’t suggest that the filmmakers were not justified in making their films. The author doesn’t suggest that they shouldn’t have made the films; only that people don’t need to pay attention to them.

3%
b

Everyone ought to ██████ █████ ██████████ ████ ████████████ █████ █████████████

This isn’t supported. The author doesn’t say that people should ignore the films. He just says that people don’t need to pay attention to them. “Shouldn’t do” and “don’t need to do” are different. Also, the facts only refer to “documentary” films, not all films with conspiracies.

3%
c

Freedom of speech █████████ █████ ███ ██████████ ██ ██████ █████ ██████████

Not supported, because the author doesn’t suggest that the filmmakers need to express the views in the films. They are entitled to do so, but that doesn’t mean they have to.

1%
d

Freedom of speech ████ ███ ███████ ██████████ ██ ███████ ██████████ ████████████ ██ ██████

This is anti-supported, because the author says the filmmakers are entitled to make inaccurate films.

e

Views that people ███ ████████ ██ ███████ ████ ███ ██ █████ ██ █████ ██████ ██ ███████ ██ ███ ██████████

This is strongly supported by the last two sentences. The filmmakers are entitled to express their views, but that doesn’t imply people need to pay attention to them. So people need not (which means “don’t need to”) pay attention to them.
