That's a very good point, and I agree with you up to a point, but we have to
remember that cinematography (i.e. film stock, lighting, etc.) is just he
aesthetic feel of a film.  Get right down to it, a film in it's barebones is
just dialogue with movement.  Look at that, and then we can make proper
judgements on whether or not it is biased.
