Hypothetical: What Doco Would You Film?

[xtremerus]

Bill Clinton and that woman

[WMD351]

April 3rd 1972, ATCC round 3 at Bathurst.
See Pete Geoghegan's Super Falcon bulldozing Moffat's Boss Mustang up Mountain Straight.

See Courtney Love pull the trigger on Kurt Cobain.

Maybe do a series on the battles of Alexander the Great vs King Darius.

Or something more mundane like the Big Bang, first spark of life on earth, or the first amphibian to crawl out of the sea.

[roberts]

port arthur, and get GOOD footage of the shooters face and the so called witnesses, I highly doubt martin bryant made all those shots.

Then I would come back and clean my ar-15.

[SSD-85]

The evolution of life on Earth. In particular, the Permian Era leading up to the P-Tr Extinction Event.

Aside from that, ground level shots of the Hiroshima & Nagasaki atom bombings.

[Franco Cozzo]

Afghanistan and Iraqi occupation up to current times, I think ever since Vietnam war there has been some sort of restriction of mainstream media reporting on everything that happens.


It just seems there isnt as much footage on the current wars as there is with WWII and Vietnam war.

I'd also like to completely cover WWII, as there aren't too many veterans still kicking about who can recall the details of the conflict.

saw a doco on building the hoover dam. mind blowing stuff. also saw a doco on building/re locating hong kong airport. absolutely amazing.

not sure if i can add my own suggestion to the list, but i do agree that engineering doco's are awesome.

Yeah but things on youtube dry-up and constantly get removed due to violence or complaints from authorities.

I don't care about a few execution videos, I want to see hours of footage about whats happening everywhere.

The word HYPOTHETICAL is in the title genius

let me put it in a sentence as see if it raises questions in your mind"

A rich man with the brain capacity of a child makes 35 kills in an afternoon before going home and then sets his own house on fire while hes still in it. Then the police arrest him.

He apparently killed 12 and wounded 10 in 15 seconds during his rampage, this is a man without military training making 12 kill shots in under 15 seconds firing an ar-15 off his hip, that's one shot, one kill, less than one second apart.
he had a 30 round mag so he missed assuming he went though the clip 8 times I doubt he did a mag change in those 15 seconds. Ill say SAS arnt going to make all those shots?
Thats why I want the video

Well I don't know if it was trivial or not although every other murder in the last hundred years or so was not trivial enough to actually have a Coroner's inquest.

Maybe he could hypothetically grab some footage to help make one.....

Seriously

Walk into a busy cafe with a semi automatic riffle, you don't need to be SAS to kill 15 unarmed and cowering people.

[Geez Louise]

To stop this thread heading south...how about we agree to disagree on this one and get back on topic please.

[SEZ213]

I thought of anothery...I'd go and film Plato and Socrates...just for fun, and to try to understand their epistemology (because I sure as hell can't figure it out by myself!)

[Geez Louise]

Cleopatra and Mark Antony's love affair...Scandalous in it's day...Be good to see what they actually looked like.

The eruption of Mt Vesuvius and Pompeii. I am a bit of a history nut...it all fascinates me.

A little OT, but have you seen the National Geographic(?) series on Rome? There was about six episodes dedicated to it, awesome stuff, right down to Pompeii volcanic eruption and the archaeological dig that took place after the fact, the 'liberal' nature of those who lived in Pompeii, etc...

It would have been nice to be there though and see it for yourself

[ebxr8240]

Penrith wining NRL grand final...

Henry starting his first engine..

[uranium_death]

The birth of the Universe and Earth.

[blue sleeper]

The 100 years war for me, might take a while though...

Oh and Imola 1994

friggen yes!!!!

Keeping with the WWII theme, I'd be interested in a doco from the german side, showing Hitler rise to power.. No american rubbish, only what the Germans thought and saw.

Then moving away from WWII, the gladiators.

With you on both those.

Going back and doing a doco on the real Robin Hood would be cool.

[castellan]

Well i have thought if I could go with DR Who it would only be with the 4th one with Tom Baker may be the 3rd or 1st but non other.
I probably would go back about the 1980's and stay their and make sure that with my doco that we don't go down the road we are on with all our PC rubbish we now have.

You can find that out easy enough but it is not what most people are interested in.
So there is no movie film of such that i know about but have doco's of Germans talking about it all.
Most people only want to see horror blood and guts, blowing up things and just stupid narrow minded nonsense that can easily be gone along with.
But not many will sit through and have the capacity to understand history fully, plus it would take days or months to comprehend it all entirely.
The Americans have a unclouded view on it all.

We hear in aus have people who saying our gov now is talking big lies now and the majority don't give a toss. and that's the way it goes.

Wasn't it "I walked into the room and everyone just died!" or something to that effect?

What evidence did they actually have as well? Didn't he just "confess" to it?

[DBourne]

Also wouldn't mind doing a mini series on "The first person who..."

First person who thought to drink whatever came out of a cows udder

First person to eat whatever came out of a chicken's bum etc.
