Enron: The Smartest Guys in The Room

This has sat on my DVD player for a long time and I finally got around to watching it. I did not like it so much. I feel like the goal of a documentary is either to get people to emotionally connect with the subjects, or to explain what happened in a particular situation. I think this one assumed a preexisting emotional connection, or, assumed some knowledge of the situation that I did not have. Perhaps if I had known more about it going in I might have enjoyed it more. But, as it is, it di not explain what happened very well, at least not to me. I don't leave the film feeling like I have any greater knowledge of the situation, other than some implication that Bush gets tarred in the scandal. Which is fine, but I wish it had been more explanatory. Oh well.
