Agreed. Great documentary. The part where Castro said he urged Russia to launch their nukes from Cuba to the US knowing it would destroy Cuba was chilling. Humans are not always logical. Don't assume somebody wont drag an entire country or the world to total destruction for some deranged cause.
I didn't get the death bed vibe from McNamara but I definitely felt that he was genuinely reflecting on the past.
The documentary on Rumsfeld was the polar opposite. I could also see Rumsfeld not wanting to give the enemy of an ongoing conflict any shred of material. It makes for a less interesting documentary.
Morris himself said something like he didnt really feel he got to know Rumsfeld and had no real idea what was in his mind compared to his previous interview with McNamara.
