I want to see "The Unknown Known" documentary about Donald Rumsfeld.
It was made by Errol Morris, who was a guest on Hardball.
In his latest film, The Unknown Known (April 4, 2014), Morris explores the long political history and the worldview of Donald Rumsfeld, as the two-time former secretary of defense himself describes it. Through dozens of hours of interview footage and thousands of Rumsfeld's memos (many of which have never before been released), Morris puts on display the dizzying, Carrollian illogic used by members of the Bush administration to justify war in Iraq.
(Speaking of "Carrollian", Roger Ebert said this about the work of Errol Morris: After twenty years of reviewing films, I haven't found another filmmaker who intrigues me more ... Errol Morris is like a magician, and as great a filmmaker as Hitchcock or Fellini.)
From the snippets shown on
Hardball, the creepiness of Rumsfeld's own words shines through & I think it might be satisfying to watch it being unfolded in the macabre sense that the monster deserves to be viewed.
