Supersize Morgan Spurlock


The more we watch supersize me in class, the more i realize how good of a documentary filmaker Morgon Spurlock is. Everything i have ever seen him in, or heard of him doing, was very intiresting. He does it very differently than most, he actually takes on the challege of eating Macdonlads for a month, or voluntarily going to jail for a month. Its very compelling and intiresting to watch. Other documentarys are not of quite the same subjects, and are not quite as fun to watch. This blog is not so much about supersize me, but more of Morgan Spurlocks movies in general. He is very clever, and very smart about how he makes them. When you hear the word documentary, you usually would think of a boring, informational movie that you would never see in theatres. Spurlock has changed that steriotype and made documentarys fun, you just have to use the right topic, and the right way to go about teaching it.

I think that Morgan Spurlock has made documentarys more intresting on purpose. He gets that people don't want to listen to someone talk about all the research they have done on the topic without showing them how they did it. People also need to know what people go through on these experiences so he makes sure he experiences it himself. I thnk Morgan Spurlock does a Fononmonal job at showing his experiences and showing that he is just the average person, so he gets treated the same way that everyone else does. He makes the documentaries fun and easy to watch.
