This is so cool. I love how Morris adds all this high production value - it really makes the viewer engage, and I don't think in too much of a manipulative or showy way. In a way, it's a stronger choice than just showing faces, because you're forced to reconcile your thoughts and opionions with *his* images, instead of having the people's words conjure up a bunch of stuff that is going to be pulled solely from your personal experience with the media. And then you have something to discuss, instead of the ether of 1st hand description. I dunno, it's interesting, to say the very least. Also, check this week's newyorker.com for more footage from this. http://www.newyorker.com/online/2008/03/24/abughraib/?xrail Yes! This is so cool.
