    As a Brit, I class Louis documentary work as important as David Attenborough.
    He really lifts the lid on the parts of society that we as a people are just too worried to even entertain.

    Tbh as I sit and listen to this, it’s genuinely one of the most intellectual conversations I’ve heard in a v long time, I feel like most of what we see today is bad and forth hatred of each other because of our separating views however here, it seems they start with a topic, define the issue behind the topic and discuss it in an in-depth view, from the inside perspective instead of an outside perspective, this is why I love Louie Theroux, he’s a man who can look beyond the facade, understand someone’s personality and let them bring themselves down infront of the cameras, instead of instigating, which so many interviewers make the mistake of doing. Goading someone into an answer doesn’t validate your point, it just convinces the other side of their belief that you influence information.

    I think Louis Theroux's success is due to his vulnerability, his slightly neurotic personality, the viewer wants to protect him from the crazy people he gets involved with. He doesn't come across as brash and certain and is going to lay down the law. He acts ignorant and plays along with the crazies while winking at the viewer and we share in his inside joke.

    • @raoulduke344
      @raoulduke344 6 місяців тому +15

      Playing a little... not the dumb act, exactly, but more like the intentionally naive act helps the subject forget who they're talking to and encourages people expand on their answers. The one where he's talking to a group of young guys at a Philadelphia corner after a shooting. They kind of laugh and roll their eyes at the questions he was asking, but they still answer them. Instead of appearing like a nosey journalist (or even come across like a cop) he just seems like a clueless middle-class foreigner who doesn't understand "their ways".
      Or the big Hispanic ginger guy who denies being a dealer and keeps saying he pays rent... he gets him and his subordinates to open up and say things they probably wouldn't normally. It's really a clever trick Louis has perfected.

We can pick up when someone is a bad person regardless of how they are treating us. I recall louis talking about that interview with the neo nazi's and how even though the cameras were there he felt he was in serious danger. I was watching that interview and i remember louis looking really frightened at one point when one guy turned on him and how instantly all the others started to view him as an enemy.

    One of the things I really like about Louis is the way he presents himself very differently from most people who do the kind of interviews he normally does.
    Most people who do those on scene interviews that part of our society, criminals, hate groups, addicts, etc, have a certain approach, especially these days, where they seem to do their best to fit in with whoever they are talking to and not go against the grain of the scenario. I've seen people go interview a gang or go to Kensington or something like that and all of a sudden they're playing a character different from their normal videos. Different voice, difrerent style of speaking, very passive attitude where they act like they agree with everything being said even though they surely dont at all...
    Louis on the other hand brings that straightforwardness and somewhat of a childlike innocent to anyone he's talking to, whether its a regular guy or a convicted kiIIer. He doesnt try to people please or fit in, he is always true to himself, and hes never afraid to ask the questions he needs to ask even if they're likely going to get under the person's skin.
    Theres a certain bravery in that I think a lot of people lack, and it adds to the interviews a lot in my opinion.

    been watching all his stuff with my mum for the last month and it's been really worthwhile, i've been a fan of him since 2009 mainly discovering him after hearing about westbro over the years and wanting to watch his doc about them, led me to watching a lot of his stuff back then, it's been great to revisit all with mum cause she is definitely a fan of him as well now, she's british and tends to like shows with british people so that helps but she also just thinks he's a really pleasant articulate funny person, i'd add that there's also no ego to him, he's humble , his job is interesting, he has great amounts of empathy, he's almost recklessly brave, he's someone i look up to and yeah he should feel accomplished

      @SuperTed Louis' role is to give a platform to fringe groups to get them to open up and reveal the things they might not say when platformed in other ways. His genius is his affability because it gets these people to open up and allows us to examine what they really think.
      Yeah if you want to put it crudely he is certainly monetising these fringe groups, but he does so in a way that allows us all to understand them better which is beneficial for both the public and those being platformed.
