+ The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara

Written by:

(Robert McNamara) [Errol Morris] @USA@ ~documentary~ – 2003

This is one of the best documentaries I’ve seen.  A look through the lenses of a powerful man partially behind the scenes of one of the most powerful political machines, the U.S. military.  Obviously with any good film, you don’t have to be a history buff to enjoy it, it’s a great perspective and a way to see that normal men make great decisions.  A man tells his reasoning for his mistakes and even his surprise to how close the world was to ending.  Very modern look at a talking head on screen, deserved the Oscar.
