"Fog of war" about the life of Robert McNamara. He is quite candid about some of the mistakes he made.
- hermitcrab 4y agoAlso anything by: Werner Hertzog Adam Curtis Brian Cox (the physicist)
- jasonwatkinspdx 4y agoYeah, this is a very well filmed documentary. The combination of the Phillip Glass score and some camera techniques that make the interview feel very in person and vivid definitely work. It's a fascinating and surprisingly frank look at someone that helped shape the last century, including making decisions that resulted in the deaths of 100's of thousands of people.
- rado 4y agoAlso “The Unknown Known”
- AmateurAlert 4y agoThe contrast between the two is very interesting.
- _qua 4y agoFog of War is incredible. I haven't really seen anything else like it in the sense that powerful people very rarely publicly examine themselves and their lives the way McNamara does. The follow-up with Rumsfeld is so different because he doesn't.
