Review of Windfall (2012) by Pdw123 — 18 Sep 2016

Noisy wind turbines? Turbines throwing ice? I may be an incredulous Missourian, but please explain to me how the director (who it said was involved in the music video business) managed to leave out all this valuable information in a film that was supposed to convince me that wind energy was a nightmare.

Being from the show-me state, I also just went on youtube to do my own research, and I found why this info was left out, because in many cases they run pretty silent and even when youre up close. Oh, and another thing.

I know what a soundtrack sounds like, and dubbing synthesizers/music over the video doesnt fool me, although I DID see a trailer for the film that did obviously fool me the first time. The second point is that there is way too much editing and attention deficit disorder also built into the film.

I understand the importance of getting townsfolks statements, but all this rough cutting in between literally gave me a headache trying to keep track of all this disjointed material, and so the final conclusion was totally incoherent.

But again, reading about her music vid experience, this wasnt surprising. All that said, and being the CENTRIST that I am, perhaps the townspeople had very valid points, but it was all lost in truly one of the worst documentaries Ive ever watched because the baby was thrown out with the bath water (again, there are many statements made, too many and too much BS, without the actual proof and FACTS!!!).

The doc I watched on the natural gas industry was much more compelling. Next time, get a documentary director, not one for MTV.
