In recent years, documentaries(纪录片) have not only climbed the box office charts but also influenced public discourse. Here are some films that made an impact.
Fahrenheit 9/11（《华氏911》） (2004)
Michael Moore’s tirade(长篇激烈的演说) against the Bush administration’s war on terror ignited arguments over everything like Patriot Act (《美国爱国者法案》，2001年10月26日由美国总统乔治·沃克·布什签署颁布的一则国会法案，其以防止恐怖主义的目的扩张了美国警察机关的权限). Along the way, it grossed a record $222 million worldwide.
Super Size Me （《大号的我》）(2004)
Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock ate only McDonald’s for a month and gained 25 lbs(即25磅，“lbs”为“pound”的缩写，25磅约等于11公斤). The fast-food chain has since canceled the Super Size option and added nutritional info to its packaging. Coincidence?
An Inconvenient Truth （《难以忽视的真相》）(2006)
Davis Guggenheim’s Oscar-winning doc relied on AL Gore’s surprising showmanship to raise public awareness about climate change. The film is now viewed in classrooms around the globe.
For the Bible Tells Me So
（《因为<圣经>是这样告诉我的》）(2007)
Detailing how Scripture(《圣经》) is used to justify discrimination against homosexuals, Daniel Karslake’s film has become a godsend (天赐的礼物) for gay youths coming out to their religious families.
The Cove （《海豚湾》）(2009)
With the aid of hidden cameras, Louie Psihoyos’ riveting doc uncovered the annual slaughter of dolphins in Taiji(太地町，因捕猎鲸及海豚而知名), Japan. The town’s hunting season resumed Sep.1, but activists say no dolphins have been killed so far.
