Best of
Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal is a documentary about some televised debates
that took place between a liberal and a conservative in the '60s, which
doesn’t sound that interesting, but it’s actually fascinating to watch.
You get all kinds of insights into the time period and their
motivations, and we’re still facing the same issues they were then.
I wanted to see Best of Enemies: Buckley vs. Vidal when it came out, but the library didn’t get it. And then eventually I checked Netflix and there it was. I didn’t have any idea who either person was beforehand, but luckily they set everything up in the opening of the movie. It’s interesting how they said the country was so divided then. Nothing changes.
