That was very interesting!
I really sympathize with his goal of interviewing people with the intent of getting an unforced explanation for whatever the interviewee has or is supporting. Adversarial interviews are more entertaining for sure, but how beneficial are they really at getting the interviewee to open up and share their unfiltered opinions, get them to lay out their own narrative? (with the purpose of learning about their world view)
At the same time the only movie I've watched of his is Fog of War and I wasn't a fan, felt like it was a lot of nothing.
I guess there is no "right" approach to interviewing, it depends on the interviewee.
