Wow. Morris is a master of the form. Hard to imagine any talking head could be interesting for 103 minutes, but Morris brings his "A"-game. His shifting placement of Rumsfeld on screen is a lesson in persuasive composition. He translates the Secretary's reference to memos as "snowflakes" into an elegant scheme of scene transitions. No matter their take on his politics, I predict viewers will be entranced by the form of Rumsfeld's story. 9 years 6 months ago -

Amazing. I would recommend watching The Fog of War, also by Morris, first. It's about Bob McNamara, another former Secretary of Defense under Kennedy & Johnson. This works really well as a sequel. 10 years ago
