    A didactic personal memoir of McNamara. The film won the Oscar for Best Documentary that year, and has always been a high-profile savior of the world police. No way, Li Paifang is the lifelong career of a bitch. so, never say...

    One sentence impressed me deeply: people can use reason to solve most problems, but people's reason is limited. Although there is no question of how to solve the problem of limited rationality, I think it is still necessary to rely on human morality, that is, to use morality to examine the correctness of behavior on the rational level. The film also said that human nature cannot be changed, but I would like to say that war is only a decision of a few people, and the human nature of most people...

    The material that the Vietnam War is gradually involved in has basically been seen in "Outstanding People", and it is not too new. At the age of 85, McNamara still thinks so clearly and expresses so smoothly, which is very enviable. Sure enough, the real elites shine...

    Digging through the fog, silently looking for my way. .

    Disadvantages: He is quite partial to McNamara, and he is the only one in the film to state his views, and occasionally add questions from the questioner. From his point of view alone, it is somewhat objective.
      
      Objectivity: The director should have spent a lot of thought and listened to a lot...

    What is war?

    What is war?

    No one can give a definite answer.

    Through The Fog of War, we may get a glimpse of Robert McNamara's understanding of war from the thirteen lessons he gave. War is complex, changeable and cruel, as he himself said:

    There'sa wonder phrase: the for of war, it means that war is so complex...

The Fog of War quotes

  • Robert McNamara: What makes us omniscient? Have we a record of omniscience? We are the strongest nation in the world today. I do not believe we should ever apply that economic, political, or military power unilaterally. If we had followed that rule in Vietnam, we wouldn't have been there! None of our allies supported us; not Japan, not Germany, not Britain or France. If we can't persuade nations with comparable values of the merit of our cause, we'd better reexamine our reasoning.

  • Robert McNamara: It's almost impossible for our people today to put themselves back into that period

    [the Cold War]

    Robert McNamara: . In my seven years as Secretary, we came within a hair's breadth of war with the Soviet Union on three different occasions! Twenty-four hours a day, three-hundred sixty-five days a year, for seven years as Secretary of Defense, I lived the Cold War! During the Kennedy Administration, they designed a one-hundred Megaton bomb! It was tested in the atmosphere; I remember this.
