Thankyou for Smoking

I think the movie we watched in class "Thank you for Smoking" was a very interesting and almost compelling movie. Nick Naylor could argue absolutely any point when it came to tobacco, no matter how impossible it may have seemed to argue he knew how to flip it around on them. It was shown how any point is really possible to be argued as long as you know the research behind it, so there are no loop holes. If you have the passion and really stand for something, then the research and passion can almost never let you down. I think the video was perfect and showing how an argument can be much more complex, and definitely will help with the classical argument papers we have to write.
