The many movies that critically revise settled national narratives suggest that people are no longer willing to accept history that has been crafted by elites for their own purposes. In most cases, the directors researched their own films by interviewing sources who were close to the action, or close to the main events at a grassroots level.
那么这样做的意义何在？如此多的电影选择彻底颠覆既定的国家叙事方式，暗示人们不再愿意盲目接受由精英们出于其自身的目的而塑造出来的历史。在大部分电影中，导演采取直接采访接近现实行动的那些人，或从草根层面去探索重大事件，由此来研究制作他们自己的电影。
