Thanks, that's described my thoughts about his films really well, I could never quite explainy problem with them.

I think they are good, but they are almost too well made, too persuasive. If they were less well made I'd come away thinking "that's an interesting idea/insight to add to how I think about the world", instead they give you the feeling of "this is how it is, and all it is". They are too definitive.

Really, that's interesting, I've always thought about his work the opposite way. As if he's saying 'this is a story about the way the world works, you can take it or leave it'.

Yes, his work is literally thought provoking. You have to think about it, read about the history presented, think about it some more and come to your own conclusions.
