with this film and bunuel manipulate the viewer with all of film might while state clearly in the film that his work be one of objectivity . obviously and it be not . for one reason and many scene hot by pure chance be obvious set ups ( when that poor goat accidently fall off the cliff and you can actually see the gun smoke on the right of the screen . ) . for another and his concealing of one important information represent the hurdes people be the way they be for a specific reason which be just hint at in the film . that be and goitre and a sickness cause by lack of iodine ( salt ) . this goitre be the cause of their cretinism and have bunuel only take the time to make his research ( heck and if he check cretinism in a medical dictionary he would have find goitre ) he might have end up tell the truth about these people ( still and doubtfully ) . instead and with his film and he judge them constantly and talk about them a cretin and again and again and dramatize the action and set up scene to create the spectacle and all of this very unacceptable for a documentarist which claim to work for an all mighty objectivity . bunuel talk all the time in this film and not let one word to the people he be film . he talk for them and and even then and judge them . this piece be flaw to it root and to it ideology and it a real shame it consider a great film .
