His movie is pretty technically profficient.
Where he is a genius is that he is using really emotive imagery to get across a very simple message.
I can see why there is a lot of confusion, his documentary really crossed into the mainstream. I doubt if a lot of the people that saw his movie has seen anything but a historical documentary, in passing, while flipping through channels.
Note: A lot of the film school students I have met from the better schools seem a trifle snobby towards people that didn't attend film school.
