The Fog of War

|

This is one of my favorite movies. It's an interview with Robert McNamara, who is a fascinating individual. Born into humble beginnings, he has a professor at Harvard, fought in WWII, moved up the ranks in Ford (where he introduced seat belts into cars) becoming the first CEO who wasn't a member of the Ford family, was tapped by President Kennedy to be Secretary of Defense, continued to serve under President Johnson, and later ran the World Bank.

This movie focuses on his involvement in Vietnam, World War II, and his thoughts on war in general. He's in his 80's (he'll be 90 this year), but is still amazingly sharp and eloquent. When I grow up I want to be just like him.
