A Noble Lie: Oklahoma City 1995

I would definitely recommend this documentary, especially for people who enjoy true crime and conspiracy theories. It starts out slow, but by the end of the documentary, it really makes you think about a number of inconsistencies that were reported by the government.

When you rely on Alex Jones as an expert, and one of your positive reviews proclaim you the best source on the "deep state" conspiracy nonsense, you have no credibiity.

And when you base a murder claim on, "Oh he looked like a white supremacist bank robber, trust Tim McVeigh on this," your credibility keeps on dropping.

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.

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!"

I was very impressed with the way A Noble Lie tells the story of the OKC bombing. The film makers don't use cheesy sound fx, savvy editing or the like to add fluff here. Any documentary that does usually means the content is not strong enough to rest on its own. That is not the case with this one.

A Noble Lie uses physical evidence, eye witness testimony, media reports, and court documents to allow the viewer to come to their own conclusion. All in all it was very informative, and did not pile on too much at the same time. I would like to see some things discussed more in detail, like Tim McVeigh's interviews in prison, and I'm hearing a sequel is in the works, so hopefully that happens.

Any person with a critical eye that likes to think for themselves, I recommend checking this one out.
