The author in "This is not a pipe either" presents the idea that documentaries are a "narrative guilding...the interpretation of the images must flow along a unilinear pathway, at such a speed that the viewer has no time for any reflection." This is a complete contrasting view of Sontag because Sontag talks about leaving the artwork open for interpretation. The article goes on to talk about how documentaries have a predetermined course and does not encourage free thought and ideas, similar to conservative politics. Helms' overall strategy was to "create the preconditions for the public to blindly follow into self-censorship, thereby agreeing to the homogenous order desired by the elite class.
