The fact that Louis could have easily told the Nazi family that he wasn't Jewish when asked, but instead he asked why it mattered and didn't reveal whether he was or not... He is an amazing example of what a human being should be. Everything he says or doesn't say has meaning and weight, and he knows it.

I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned but Louis also did a third documentary on the Westboro Baptist Church and it's called Surviving America's most hated family in 2018. It's brilliant of course and really interesting how much the family has changed after the leader and creater was actually kicked out before he died and multiple family members leaving.

"Louis Theroux stepped out of his comfort zone"--well, it might have looked like that but he *is* a long time Hip-Hop fan (going back to before the narrator was born) and was a regular sight on the letters page of UK rap magazine Hip-Hop Connection (as "The King Lou E."). Always makes me chuckle a bit when I see all this "lol posh UK journalist steps out of comfort zone to get down in the 'hood" etc. etc. But I think Louis really played up to it, though, so he's probably partially to blame, lol

Watching his documentaries on Westboro and KKK back to back is really interesting. The groups have really similar views, but Westboro are really defensive about their use of swastikas and nazi salutes, saying they're not racist and they don't support nazism. But the KKK will openly call themselves racists and say white people are better. Same people, different self awareness.

If 8 is an excerpt from the Johannesburg doc, but 7 is a more general entry accounting several excerpts from the Johannesburg doc - aside from being an editing decision - why is it two separate points? Surely 8 (if it’s bad-ass enough to hold its own point) should be higher rated than 7.

Louis Theroux is the greatest documentary interviewer of our generation. His laid back, almost shy persona, gives the impression that he is a beta male, & so people are disarmed by him. I don’t think he’s a beta, just for the record, & I don’t think he plays into either, because as things progress, he’s not afraid to ask the hard questions, & often gets answers that he didn’t directly ask for, because he’s a great listener, & give someone a couple of moments of silence, & they will generally say more than intended. I found this, because I was searching “Louis Theroux angry” for a cut/paste video I’m doing, but I can’t find anything! The closest I’ve got is him raising his voice *very slightly* 😂

Confrontational people are always trying to get a specific reaction that justifies hostility, I think he demonstrates how control through intelligent thinking can prevent this behaviour from happening. If you know what these people are doing all you have to do is not give them the response they are looking for, let your logical side have the stage and keep your emotions locked away out of sight! So often people are emotionally reactive to people that mean nothing to them but have an opinion that opposes their own, the reaction is to the opinion, but in that moment, if the person with the opinion means nothing to you, don’t allow their stupid opinion to matter either, just remind yourself that you don’t care and don’t react. The world would be a better place if we remind ourselves that people form stupid misguided and biased opinions all the time and engaging them is a waste of energy
