Morris -- delightfully eccentric, just like many of his interviewees.
Thank you Roger Ebert for leading me to Gates of Heaven, Errol Morris who made the movie and Florence's monologue in the movie.
I saw this film around 2000. He's such an interesting, Intellectual with many natural talents. Werner Herzog talks about it in a doc from 1999 that Errol was a Cello Prodigy as a child. Worked as his assistant, a couple of years as a detective before he went on to do A Thin Blue line. My current one of his that I often think about is An American Dharma (2018), about Steve Bannon, because it's all laid out there, Bannon's plan and what he's about. I have been thinking about it since it came out, just so powerful. Then he has his hands in the Act Of Killing and Look Of Silence that he produced. Just a cultural powerhouse!
Man. Nobody can pause like Errol Morris.
As I watched this interview it became very clear to me that this not just an interview of Errol Morris, it's about the interviewer.
Sorry, couldn't resist. It's not really fair to expect a British critic to recognize the love parts. On the other hand, there's nothing else in here, especially Mr. Morris' love for all the people in his movies. In The Thin Blue Line, cop killer David Harris wouldn't've confessed if he didn't feel it.
I admire his old school way of finishing a thought. It was Hitchcock who said that you shouldn't have to. It's not uniquely
Hebrew.
Thought it was Bobby Knight at first from the thumbnail lol.
Great piece.. Thanks.
wow. this man is brilliant
One could say he's made a career out of pausing for others to talk.
This guy is comedy...👍
Interesting in some ways, but ultimately too awkward. The pauses convey a unique style, but too many were unearned following simple questions.
Irascible!
he broke every rule created by breaking rules
Gavin Smith, finally, a less pretentious host.
