Talk:¿Quién es el señor López?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Who says that it was widely distributed? this is a "propaganda" film.
Propaganda is not the appropiate word for this article. Such a word guides people into thinking this is an effort made by the government, such statement is false. Left the article with only "documentary" on it, if a word has to be used it should be "anti-propaganda".
OK, who signs the above statement?
I was the person adding the word propaganda to the reference. I watched the documentary and believe it to be propaganda for AMLO. Propaganda does not have to come from the government or be of negative connotation. Propaganda is information destined to change the point of view of the audience towards the point of view of the person generating it. All political campaigns are propaganda. If you honestly think this "documentary" is not part of a political campaign then we shouldn't even be discussing this. Schicchi 00:47, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
'I deleted the paragraph that states: "Mandoki has created the most successful documentary in all Mexican film history, with about a million copies sold in only three months."'
I think this is misleading, due to the following:
1.- There is no reference or footnote to such data, no information whatsoever that proves that (a) is the most succesful documentary in all Mexican film history (b) no evidence that a million copies were sold in three months.
2.- This item was "sold" at 20 pesos, and on the final stages of the 2006 Mexican Election, given away at Subway Stations. I witnessed this statement, so I do not considered this as a commercial product, but a political tool for PRD. It cannot be considered as "successful" only because a million copies were financed and distributed by a Political Party. I wonder the sales report on this item by stores that sell documentaries.
3.- The most important: This is NOT a documentary! Please note this, it is Political Propaganda. If we consider this as a documentary, we must consider all Nazi filming as documentaries, including banned films on Jews. Note that I am not comparing in any way Nazis and PRD, but only the thought that such films are considered "propaganda". This item was financed, distributed and produced by PRD, so it cannot be considered as a "film" or "documentary".--200.67.147.247 18:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
