Évocateur (2012)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 5/15

5/15: Évocateur doesn't reveal much new about Morton Downey, Jr., but just to reaffirm everything that had happened during the show.

It does provide a bit of an interesting background about him. Ultimately, Morton is painted as a hack fame-seeker with no substance. If anything, the biggest downside of the show is it brought fame to Al Sharpton whom I consider the world's number one race-baiter, an American the nation can do without.

In hindsight, what did the show teach me? Apparently nothing, but it would be nice to get back to the lucid format that was championed in the past. The interviewers were good, and a lot of insight was gleaned from these Q & A sessions. Unfortunately, these days are long gone.

All in all, I can do without these ridiculous anime graphics in Évocateur which tells an average, but nothing new, story about Morton Downey, Jr.
