Documentary Project, Updated

As I watched my documentary, After Tiller, I sat back and thought about why we are discouraged to do a lot of background searching for information on the film prior to viewing it. I came to a consensus that a lot of the reason why we shouldn't is because adding "extra textual" information to a summary would hurt the quality of it. This is because when doing research, a lot of things that you can be exposed to on the internet is based off of opinion. If you find an article based on the film you are going to watch, and they have something really negative about it or completely miss the mark on what the main point of the plot was about, it could hinder your approach to the work when you watch it for the first time. It is almost like setting your first time experience up for disaster! When you view something for the first time without prior knowledge, it is almost as if you are clear and open-booked for the story and information you're about to receive. There may not be some planted bias that was added to bias you may have already had when walking into the viewing.
