Review of The Fog of War (2003) by Donald Z — 03 May 2014
It's worth seeing a smart but (in the past, at least) potentially misguided man explore his role in history. Yes, it's a bit biased in downplaying McNamara's role in pushing for the continuation of the Nam war, but it does show a man who has primarily learned the error of his follies.
Perhaps he learned them a bit too late, but his account serves to hopefully teach future world shapers not to make the same mistakes. This movie shows the tragedy of how smart men can still be excruciatingly dumb in certain situations, and that, as McNamara says, rationality, in itself, will not save us.
