I’d heard of this film. I read about Errol Morris as an accomplished documentarian for a few years now. Under the windy rain of what was once tropical storm Fay, I made some pasta and sat down for an immerssive lesson on history, politics, war, and about a man who for better or worse helped steer the U.S.A. through some of the most harrowing times of our young country’s existence.
I particularly enjoyed the editing and film stylizations – the quick cuts over myriad statistical documents replete with facts, figures, charts, graphs – statistical enumeration of humanity through war, commerce, and once again war. Brilliant film.
Rob lives and works in the town of Jackson, MS where he leads the interactive department at an awesome advertising and branding agency. Life is slower than most places in Mississippi, and Rob tends to like it that way. Some of his favorite life experiences include sailing across the Atlantic Ocean in a 44ft sloop, learning to speak Swahili while living along the lower slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro, and zipping along the curviest of Mississippi country roads in his VW Rabbit.
