I agree...that's why directors...it should be "director"...like Oliver Stone challenges the viewer with his "point of view". They are not popular, because having any point of view or making a "message film", is viewed, as so disruptive, in this most passive of media.
Personally, I objected to the intentional badgering of Walt Rostow, in this film. It was a "cheap shot", designed to provoke and get a reaction, rather than get anything informative out of the subject. I'm sure if he just spoke, he would "draw enough rope" for himself.
That some of the other participants, particularly Clark Clifford, are so glib and "comfortable" with the camera, he can't seem to talk enough...well, I guess, that's why they call it documentary !
