Fog of War
 
Has anyone seen "Fog of War" (now out on video)? It's an extended interview with Robert McNamara, who was apparently a FIJI. It was well-done, though haunting.

Saw it, loved it.... there was another short thread about it earlier...

Basically I expressed the hope the Bush and his handlers would take the time to absorb the "Lessons" that McNamara brings to the movie.

Sorry, I did a search but didn't find anything. Maybe the search engine doesn't like short words?
Anyhow, I liked the camera work, especially the way the background was sort of gray and out of focus during the interview. The extreme closeups worked too, and I liked the last shot where McNamara was driving in the rain. As far as the content, I liked the feeling of ambiguity. In Michael Moore's films, it seems like he's telling us what we're supposed to think, and that made me uneasy. With "Fog of War," the viewer has to take McNamara's words and form his or her own judgment. Oddly enough, McNamara reminded me a little of Albert Speer
