Norman Mailer and George Clinton perspective on Don King was sarcastic yet true. Norman Mailer said that his hair looked as if he put his had through a light socket.

If you do a documentary targeted to minatory group you also draw people from other groups, leading to mass voices throughout the film. What we have in this film is a black world event, which is filtered with unharmonious white voices.

Documentary negotiates perspectives, in a racial fill documentary they must negotiate with one another. .
Robert Coles feels that documentarians" work should be based on "human actuality." The person doing documentary work doesn't see things on the same level as the people he is studying. What makes the difference between levels difficult is that the documentarian sees from his own point of view, his experience, and background, from which he then creates a strong claim. When a documentarian writes a report it ends up being a mix of what he observes, his experience, and values that he believes in.
Ali throughout the film has many strong feelings which he clearly lets the viewer recognize. One scene was when he was exiting out of the court room and he was yelling that no one in Vietnam ever done anything to him, why should he go out there and fight them while there is still a war going on in America. .
W.J.T Mitchell feels that spy and counter spy in needed when doing documentary work. When applying spy and counter spy it helps keep each other's voices honest. If feel that it also like Said and Morh nation building book. This film was addressing the African American culture as a best of both worlds interaction, for them to learn and see how they can improve their culture and the roots of their assents.
