Charlie Minn is a Bad Director [Parkland: Inside Building 12 & 77 Minutes Review]

Hello everyone! 

I can now confirm that Charlie Minn is a bad director. For anyone who isn't aware of who Charlie Minn is, he is a documentary director that recently started getting noticed on tiktok for the documentary of 77 minutes which was the San Ysidro McDonalds Massacre. 

77 Minutes was by far one of the most insensitive documentaries I've seen. I'm exaggerating to a certain extent, but you can also be the judge of that. The first half of the documentary was actually educating, showing you the order of events and the aftermath of the event. It's the aftermath that starts to shift. After discussing the events, Charlie Minn decides to include a five minute clip where we were able to see every deceased victim including a 10 month-old baby. I don't know why he chose to include it, but nevertheless, it was really insensitive as well as the questions in the second half. Oh god, the questions. I understand trying to get the most raw information out of the victims and police force, but asking super insensitive questions and targeting the police force for the actions that they've made and always asking, "Do you regret it?" and when they say they either do not or choose not to answer, Charlie Minn would start to practically ragebait the police force and journalists to be "raw". He also asks a question to a police officer about an event that never even occurred the day of the incident but still chose to add it and ask him if he ever drank on the job.

Parkland: Inside Building 12 is another documentary about the Parkland High School Massacre that took place on Valentine's Day on 2018. Once again, similar complaints. Insensitive questions, random agenda, and unnecessary details to add that doesn't help the situation. I can't even bother trying to discuss the events that leads up that was discussed in the documentary.

I overall feel that Charlie Minn does have a great vision, but he needs to learn the difference between being educational and ignorant. He also needs to start learning how to properly write his questions to make it both unbiased and insensitive. The agenda he pushes are ACAB, and while that is a big can of worms to open up, trying to let it out while discussing tragedies such as these is unprofessional. He has the ability to make a documentary that discusses the police force, but chooses not to and push his agenda to other events.

At the end of the day, Charlie Minn should just stick with unbiased opinions and not be too emotional as well as bringing an agenda to the task that is bring brought up, awareness.

In best regards,
