Rather Bland Conspiracy Doc
We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook (2014)
** (out of 4)
I love documentaries that cover conspiracy theories. The best known theories out there usually take on the JFK assassination and to more recent times the 9/11 terrorist attack. It seems that there are a very large group of people who believe the government was behind Kennedy's assassination and that the government staged 9/11. It seems the up-and-coming theory centers around the school massacre at Sandy Hook Elementery.
Look, I'm not here to judge the filmmakers on the morality of what they're doing. If you believe Sandy Hook happened then you're going to look at the conspiracy theorists as a bunch of slime that are causing more pain to the loved ones of those who were killed. If you believe Sandy Hook was staged then I'm sure you're going to use this documentary to back up your claims.
The only thing I'm doing here is judging this film. As a film, I personally thought it was mildly entertaining but there's really nothing here that makes me believe the entire thing was staged. There are some interesting things brought up here but I've yet to watch any conspiracy video that didn't have at least one interesting thing. For example, Connetuicut passed a law to where death certificates, crime photos and other items can't be released to the public. Was this done because the fake Newtown massacre was in the works? Or was it just a coincidence?
Every conspiracy video has you asking questions like that. The problem with this movie is the fact that they really just don't say too many interesting things in its nearly three hour running time. Yes, we're given some clues and shown "evidence" but I personally didn't find anything here as credible proof that the government staged this. I personally didn't see a reason and especially since our guns weren't taken away, which seemed to be some people's biggest reason to think it was staged. Plus, with all the people needed to pull off a hoax, don't you think something would have slipped out there to give more proof that this was staged?
