I just finished watching the show.
WOW!
I liked the ambiance, relaxed repartee and lack of melodrama.
Gibney's got some serious gooeynads and I'm looking forward to seeing just how he can piece all this together visually and textually in a few hours.
Rinder did
quite well, IMO, with the exception of the Lisa stuff...his "flinch" was gruesomely palpable. Also, my Take is he
really (though subtly) wants to somehow be the Authority.
Haggis is real, honest, decent, downright human, precisely accurate, refreshingly irreverent, disarmingly open.
Wright is the Cheshire Cat...He's "Da Man", and all the other participants--including the moderator--either directly (Haggis, Gibney) or indirectly (Moderator, Rinder) acknowledge and say that. Wright looks, says and is convincing that he has no "Ax to Grind"...He just followed a path of inquiry which he has shared in his New Yorker Article, his Book and now the Film. Wright does not sit in judgement...Wright has questions he has asked...Facts he has gathered in answer to his questions and connections, observations and correlations he has found along the way. And, Wright's got more than Brass Balls--Wright is, in essence, what Scn represents as being "OT".
The biggest "Reveal" for me was when Haggis said that he personally knew that there were a number of Scn heavy hitters that were for all intents and purposes "Out" but keeping their mouths shut. That Dam is gonna burst some day and the Gibney/Wright Film may be just the depth charge that cracks it below the water line. Calling out Cruise, Travolta, etc just well may be that depth charge and only Folks like Gibney, Wright and Haggis might well could do that.
