The Fog of War

Eleven Lessons From the Life of Robert S. McNamara
Jun 24, 2016Janice21383 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
One of the best pictures of its year, or of any year. Robert McNamara was both blessed and cursed by energy, idealism, and one of the rarest of all human gifts, a completely logical mind. His plan for the seat belt saved uncounted thousands of lives, and his plan for the Vietnam War helped destroy uncounted thousands of lives. He doesn't seem to understand, even in 2003, why his beautiful plan failed. But dammit, he's going to get to the bottom of it. For those who want to contemplate its complex messages at leisure, here is the film's transcript. http://www.errolmorris.com/film/fow_transcript.html
