Braining Einstein: Errol Morris on objectivity and drama
Errol Morris updates USA Today while promoting his DVD collection: "Morris bristles at charges that Fog of War and Fahrenheit 9/11 aren't documentaries because they reflect the filmmaker's point of view. "Why should a film, and how could a film, be 100% objective—and what does that even mean?" After 25 years of directing documentaries and commercials, Morris is ready to try drama." [Writer Thomas K. Arnold makes no mention of 1991's misfire, The Dark Wind.] "He says he's looking at a fictionalized version of the story that Albert Einstein's brain was taken from Princeton Hospital in 1955. "Not surprisingly, I find a lot of dramas I'm attracted to are based on true stories."
