Lydon v. Morris

My former officemate Chris Lydon interviews Errol Morris on his radio show Open Source. Not the best Morris interview I've read/heard, but it's the most recent. Apparently, Karl Rove really loves Fog of War and recommends it often, which I find difficult to believe. And yes, I really love Errol Morris.

I need to watch Fog of War again, but I seem to remember walking out of it feeling like it was something of a film-based Rorshack (sp?) test. People who weren't going to like him felt that the movie portrayed him as a war criminal self-servingly trying to cover his own mistakes. Others thought it portrayed him as a stunning example of someone with the ability to look back at his life and recognize what results his actions caused... and then attempt to place those results into a larger context. He's attempting to learn from his own tremendously unique history. If Karl Rove, or anyone else in government, were uninterested in the film I'd be suprised.

It's a movie that shows how things have been done, and attempts to determine, in a very personal way, whether they were done right.

Good for Karl Rove.
