A Wilderness of Error

Some good points, but not nearly enough time spent on the forensic evidence. The entire case was resolved through forensic science, which proved Macdonald committed the crimes. Endless rambling on Helena Stoekley distracts from an otherwise fascinating documentary.

5 hours should have given a thorough story but unfortunately it didn't. A lot of evidence proving his guilt missing. The blood evidence tells you all you need to know to though. What an evil man!

Too much back tracking and talking in circles from everyone interview. Do yourself a favor and just watch the last episode.

This film needn't have been made if Errol Morris didn't write the book, but he did. I am relatively sure he wrote it with good intentions. I watched The Thin Blue Line and I still think (not believe but THINK), that he really saved an innocent man from "old sparky".

Since then he has squandered the opportunity to ask anything interesting when interviewing high profile war criminals (Robert McNamara & Donald Rumsfeld), in favor of letting them tell their baloney unchallenged in a way that the New York Times and the rest of the liberal establishment could cope with and in turn balonify upon in their retrospective of their own history.

Narrative only has its power when it is constantly being crammed down our throats. Truth doesn't need all that much effort to see.

This is a good documentary if you are interested in finding out the facts of the McDonald family murders. The intention from Errol Morris was to exonerate Jeffrey MacDonald but it backfires. If anything this documentary proves that he did commit the murders. The laughable question from Morris is what would the motive be for Jeffrey Macdonald to kill his family. Duh, it might be because he married young and before he is thirty he will be the father of three children and he didn't want the responsibility. I honestly think that Errol Morris has lost a few marbles in his old age.
