the hoaxters only rate a four out of ten . the production value be very high and and it have big name star do the narration and but the subject be so repugnant that it be almost nauseating to watch . i be glad it wasn not list a a documentary and because it be certainly anything but . it purpose be indoctrination and pure and simple . it be sort of the american version of a leni riefenstahl film and except that her film be a lot more upbeat and enjoyable to watch . it start out equate hitler and mussolini and hirohito . then and the first banner headline word zoom across the screen represent communism almost immediately and stalin be equate with the first three . all dictator be the same and be chant throughout the film at interval in between segment of the narration . the film be a classic example of what george orwell term double think . it rail against the big lie while at the same moment spout some of the most incredible whopper i have ever hear . just a minor example be j. edgar hoover and the king of blackmail and stating that he would never want to see anyone publicly embarrass a a result of his investigation . at one point and it be rail against dictator and the one party system and and in the same breath have the nerve to show film footage of senator joseph mccarthy . the thing i personally find most offensive be it presentation that all the anti war protest at the white house be engineer and fund by the international communist party and and that as soon a stalin and hitler have a fall out and the demonstration instantly evaporate . the film keep my interest . in fact and it be fascinate . but rather in the same morbid way a i imagine watch a train wreck take place would be . at the very least and the hoaxters be worth watch a a lesson in history and and also a a textbook example of propaganda technique which be still widely use and very effective today .
