the interview

with the filmmakers was illuminating.

especially concerning the slant of the documentary - they note that they chose that route because HK is always around in pop culture lit - and it's true - up until the post-9/11 frenzy about his history, he was cropping up as a 'smarty' in newsweeklies, magazines, books. with all of that out there, if he's so blemish-free, he should be able to withstand a couple of movie makers asking questions. however, if he is, as i believe, a very very scary individual, then he should be brought down like all his enemies.
