Plumes engagées
Watching documentaries
Robert Comarmond.
À l’heure du tout à l’image et du buzz sans suite, «l’express» souhaite faire découvrir la plume de poètes, de chanteurs, d’écrivains et de tous ceux qui jettent leur âme sur le papier, et qui mettent en mots des réflexions profondes.
I always have this amused smile when
people watch a doc and think afterwards
that they’ve learnt something. Let me tell
you something; making docs or designing
an experiment Often originates from a
hypothesis or a premise that someone wants
to prove; ‘sometimes by hook or by crook’.
And it makes the whole doc or experiment
void/biased because some parameters are
corrupted from the start just for the sake of
proving something at all cost.
Just like numbers and statistics can be
squeezed into making them say whatever
you want, BENT truths can severely
compromise your beliefs.
Let me give you an example. I’ve always
thought that in animal-docs the shooting
team who wants to make a video of let’s say,
a lion attacking an antelope, won’t be waiting
patiently in the savannah for it to happen...
They just bring the lion and the antelope
themselves, free them and shoot the video.
Have you ever thought that? To me that’s
so obvious.
You can’t read just 1 study about something
or watch a national geo doc or Netflix doc
or any mainstream doc [for me they’re mere
entertainments], fall knee deep into their
flawed sciences and tell me
that this is your truth.
When I read a study pertaining to any
subject that I care about, I go looking for
more studies about the topic and if I see that
4, 5 different researches all converging to a
unique truth, then I own it
and make it mine.
Not saying it’s an infallible method of course
but it is my process because I don’t want
half ‘knowledges’. I like ‘Thorough’. I am too
careful about the things that I absorb and
things that I make my truths.
My scrutiny is immense.
Bio
Concomitamment homme de lettres et homme de chiffres, bouclant la boucle, on peut désormais le désigner aussi comme un homme de sciences. Autodidacte et allergique à l’ultracrépidarianisme, il met un point d’honneur à s’exprimer seulement sur les sujets qu’il maîtrise.
