Review of The Fog of War (2003) by Bill C — 10 Sep 2010
I've been watching a lot of forgettable fluff lately. This is not that. I watched this movie several years ago and caught it on cable a few times. Once I here his wavering voice it just draws me in.
Like Alfred Noble, McNamara pioneered safety in the modern automobile but was part of orchestrating the fire bombing of Tokyo. He was hand picked by the Ford family to be the first non-Ford as president of the ford motor company.
Kennedy snatched him away to be secretary of defense during Cuba through Vietnam. The movies shot with him talking directly to the camera. There are a few cutaways to some stock footage. He speaks with a degree of unfiltered honesty not to be expected from someone involved in government.
He is a mathematician like me, with a strong moral compass. I guarantee you will not be bored watching this movie. It will give a new perspective on modern events it takes them from historic characters that made this happen to flawed people who did the best they could with what they had.
