It’s a shame.
Those early documentaries of his were masterpieces. But he just couldn’t shut-up and make films that people genuinely liked.
His “Civil War” series was a massively biased misrepresentation of history.
Oh.
His ‘The Seventh Inning’, the history of baseball was a masterpiece.
Mario Cuomo narrating “Baseball? “ If he hadn’t already lost me by opining that the black female professor who ruminated whether the Civil War was truly over when “Some people live in houses and others are homeless” was his favorite part of the presentation, he would have lost me with that odd choice.
Agreed, hands down The Civil War was the best documentary I ever watched.
