A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995

The film was a bit slow to start off. The intro was well done and grabbed my attention for the first few minutes but it jumped into what seemed like a whole lot of "here-say" from eyewitnesses. i was beginning to lose interest (having been spoiled by the overwhelming hard hitting quick facts from documentaries like "Loose Change").

The movie took a turn for the better when they started getting into the facts of the bombing, the inconsistencies, etc. Once the movie hit this stride, it became more and more interesting while infuriating at the same time. watching it i felt like i was duped by the "official" story.

Overall it was a great film that didn't force an opinion on you but laid out all the evidence for you to analyze.

Other films and books i'd have to recommend if you're interested in these types of cover ups would be the following:

Loose Change 2nd edition Kill Zone: A Sniper Looks at Dealey Plaza by Craig Roberts

The truth is stranger than fiction my friends, don't believe everything you're told to believe.

This particular documentary gives the viewer an inside look into the missing pieces of an investigation that was fast tracked by the government, anyone alive at the time remembers how easily the pieces fit into the constructed explanation, with what amounted to the lone gunman theory. Worth watching if you're interested in finding out more about the events, using some archive footage the director weaves a masterpiece exposing the holes in the story whilst still meshing the interviews of those actually involved in the events. This documentary not only raises more questions it answers some, I highly recommend this film to people who like to look at situations from all aspects and don't always accept the manufactured answers we're given when such atrocities occur.

A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995 tries to be the Loose Change of, obviously, the Oklahoma City bombing. Does it work? Not really, and that's kind of a low bar to live up to anyways, isn't it?

I mean, the reason Loose Change isn't absolute garbage is because it feels so amateurish and therefore has a sense of grittiness about it.

If that film were expertly made and well financed when it first dropped, it may have piqued interest, but it would be a completely different experience.

That's not to say A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995 is expertly made. It isn't. But it at least tries to make an actual argument (as opposed to some conspiracy documentaries that throw everything against the wall to see what sticks).

As usual with these types of films, the "facts" presented are oftentimes not that.

This film also loses credibility the moment you hear the voice of Alex Jones, who was interviewed and espouses some ambiguous hogwash.

This is a decent effort from indie filmmaker James Lane (who has a predictably bizarre filmography) but I can't recommend it.

It would have been better if it took a less conspiratorial government-did-it-or-let-it-happen approach and more of a "did the government drop the ball?" approach which, to its credit, it does touch on with the Elohim City stuff - just not firmly enough in my opinion.

Watched it with an open mind, but as the journalist claims HE HIMSELF became the PIVOTAL part in a conspiracy where all smart people targeted the "proudly self educated masses" I came to a realisation:

Either he's severely delusional

OR HE'S A FRAUD. A marketing gimmick, trying to promote his own career.

This documentary stands as a monument to those that lost their lives needlessly in the Oklahoma City bombing.

As if speaking from the dead the souls lost that dreadful day are finally heard through the voices of the rescuer's, the Police, the witnesses and the surviving family members in their call for a proper investigation!

Shockingly this film reveals to us that the official story is a cancerous lie that needs to be cut out of the history books. It also makes obvious that only when the truth is known will the victims finally have closure and be able move towards justice.

The main reason I found this documentary so outstanding is its respect for those it represents; honouring the subject without arrogance and clearly wary of sensationalism or theorising. A "Noble Lie" lets the facts and the eyewitnesses do the talking; which is why its a must see!"
